A someone who owned a food business for 16 years, I can attest that the Kirkland brand is the absolute best. It costs about the same as the Reynold's brand, but you get 50 percent more and, it's thicker. I still buy it for home use.

I keep another box of it in my work shop so I can use it as a conformal paint mask before spray painting a complex project. It clings with no residue; it can be cut with a fine utility knife and prevent paint bleed under. It stand up well to the hottest lacquer paints.

A few years ago I was in a Home Health Care store buying parts for my dads wheelchair. While browsing around I found and purchased a removable cling film cutter which could be transferred from one box to another. Very much like the Freeze Tite winner, but portable to a new box of cling film. It was around $5 and worth it.

I find them all difficult to work with, sticking to itself very easily. I recently bought the Reynolds brand on sale and it wasn't very sticky but it was thick, the sliding cutter is very bad on that because the wrap is wider than the track of the cutter. The best I've used so far is the Walmart great value 300sqft product. It's very sticky and the sliding cutter on that works flawlessly.

They didn't even talk about the most important part of a cling wrap. Does it cling to itself unnecessarily when you're trying to use it. And does it actually clean properly to the bowl without bunching up. Nothing more frustrating than tearing off a piece of cling wrap and then have it cling to itself before you get it to the Bowl. Who cares how it tears off of the box if it doesn't cling properly.

I dunno where you got your prices from. The winning option is a lot more expensive than you're claiming. You linked to 500 square feet for $40. That's $12.50 per 100 square feet. At Walmart (available online only) it's $16.79 for 315 square feet. That's $5.33 per 100 square feet. And you've really got to ask yourself: what are you using this stuff for? Is paying 4-10x more for the winning option necessary for what you're using it for?

You might want to check your math. $40 for 500 square feet works out to be $8 per hundred. On top of that, the price is for 500 linear feet which is 630 square feet (because it is 15” wide) so closer to $6.30 per 100 square feet.

jack tracy, I just RE-checked the Amazon link and the video, and my math is still correct. The video says “$4.19 per 100 square feet” and Amazon says $39.97 for 2 rolls of 250 ft at 15” wide. $6.30/100 sq ft is about 1.5 times as expensive - definitely not 4 times. BTW, that video was filmed in June 2018 (ATK is re-releasing lots of older stuff because of Covid) so a price hike is not unusual, especially for Amazon who is getting more and more expensive compared to local prices.

I have used freeze-time for several years & hope to never be without it! I buy the 315 square ft box & always find it for under $8 from various sources online! A few months ago I ordered from Farm Fleet. Some Amazon sellers were gouging big time! I wrap all kinds of stuff in it & the put in my food savers bags & vacuum them. I KNOW, too much plastic. 🙄But I can keep stuff in my freezer practically forever. Even items like bread that I can't vacuum will last months in the freeze time & then a hefty freezer bag. Also cookies, muffins, etc. I also use stretch tite which of course is cheaper for other items.

Besides how many people will reuse plastic wrap 10 friggen times over and over again? To pound the chicken to an even thickness I use a zip lock bag it is thicker and more durable. But most of the time I just pound it out on the cutting board.

About thickness: he did not mean 0.68 mm, he meant 0.68 mils. A mil is a thousandth of an inch. The equivalent of .68 mils is about .017 mm, which is a huge difference to .68 mm. Same with the other measurements (0.5 mils instead of .6 mm).

Yes, original Saran Wrap was the best !!! When they discontinued it, I scoured stores for their existing stock and bought it all up, even looking in small stores while vacationing in other states (found it!). I ended up with 36 boxes. Have been using it sparingly for years now and still have about 8 boxes left. It absolutely sealed air out and food lasted much, much longer than the plastic wraps now. Even using 2 layers of the new stuff doesn't do a good job. Remember the Saran Wrap ad with the bear and the fruit pie wrapped in Saran -- the bear could not smell the pie and did not eat it !

As I reached down to carefully grab the wrap, a breeze whipped up & because the cling wrap was of really crappy quality it didn’t stick to the road... all of the water fell out onto the street and the wrap danced off into the horizon while I stood there watching a dark circle of liquid shrink into oblivion as it steamed into a gaseous state on that steaming 🥵 road, I dropped to my knees unable to cry for lack of tears... 😫

It was to test plastic wrap. Why would they test it and then say 'BTW, don't buy plastic wrap' at the end? Everyone can't affird silicone lids and they don't stretch over edges for an air tight seal ir wrap around things. Edited for spell check corrections

I really enjoy your reviews, do you ever consider making eco impact/friendly/recyclable as part of your reviews. Sometimes it’s difficult to actually know which I think best alternative options. I have tried to change the foil (UK) Aluminum foil (USA) to a more sustainable and eco kinder brand, but in reality i had to use twice as much to get the thickness so it didn’t rip to my usual brand so was not sure in the end if my choice was the best. Many thanks, Debra.

Single use plastic needs to be banned. It's bad for contact with food because of plasticizers that are added which are hormone disrupters, and bad for the environment because it's not biodegradable. There are other options, like waxed paper, washable covers made with cloth and beeswax, and you can buy glass containers with lids.

You have to wash those things after every use, so the water and any detergent you use, cancels out some of the benefit to the environment. It's like that with reusable straws too. It might be a slight benefit to wash and reuse, but I think it's pretty negligible. Corporations need to become more responsible and make straws, wraps, etc. biodegradable. It isn't feasible to solve environmental pollution and packed landfills on the consumer end. It has to be done at the corporate and industrial level. If every single individual gave up all non-biodegradable products and recycled everything, it would only account for 1% of landfill use. In other words, big industry and big corporation are filling our landfills and polluting our water/air at a rate of 99 to one. Consumers can't fix that problem. It will have to be done via legislation to regulate industrial amd corporate waste, and fines for not complying.

Unfortunately Amazon has become a fairly safe haven for price gougers these days, by making it so difficult to report them. Because of that you can also find a six pack of disinfecting wipes for $180(that would normally cost $15 to $20) there, too. I wouldn't look to Amazon anymore to find fair prices.

Because those of us at a certain age remember tin foil. It’s now a misnomer like many other products. Examples are Kleenex for tissues, Channel Locks for tongue and groove pliers, Xerox for a photocopy and Saran Wrap for most types of plastic wrap. Besides, tin foil is easier to say than aluminum foil. Two syllables instead of five.

You mean like you reuse the sheet you cut over and over? I don't think that would be viable. And you can't really wash this stuff, but even if you could, you would be using excess water, which would cancel out most of the benefit of reusable wrap. Plus it probably wouldn't be sanitary to reuse it, especially if it was used to wrap chicken, etc.

Notice: A top tier volume supermarket, based out of Cinn, OH uses their unknown wrap on craft cheeses; they all had an off-taste of petro chemicals that leached into cheeses they cut and wrap with. I had to cut 1/8" -1/5" off sides to get the real untainted cheese; such waste of ones $$ to do this. Be aware. Test for yourselves. One here will inform them of this; see what happens. If there is no adjustment for the consumer, will drop the supermarket getting craft cheese.

Interesting, I routinely pick up craft cheeses at a Plains regional chain owned by the unnamed supermarket company. I expect store practices are the same, so the regional chain is most likely using the unknown wrap as well. In my experience, I have not noticed any off-taste in general nor petro-chemical taste in particular to the wrapped cheeses I have eaten. Perhaps the off flavor you are finding is coming from something else?
