Make your own:  Beeswax food wrap

What to do:

1. Heat the oven to c.100oC
2. Line a baking tray with greaseproof/baking paper or tinfoil (which can be used over again). Cut out your desired shape and size of wrap from the cloth and place on top of lined tray
3. Sprinkle beeswax across the cloth. If you’re using a solid block of beeswax, grate it over. If using beeswax sheets, as in the photos here, it’s easier just to crumble by hand.

Notes & Tips

• Can be used on most foods expect for raw fish and raw meat
• Wash with gentle soap in cool water
• Cotton cloth can be bought for the purpose or cut outs from used cotton clothes or sheets will do , as long as they are clean and in good condition
• If the tray is fully lined with tinfoil, no wax will get through. Wax may get through baking paper but should come off with boiling hot water)  Just in case -  don’t use your best baking tray
• If your wrap starts to look a bit tired, just put it in an oven on a lined tray at c.100^oC for a few minutes, adding a little extra wax to worn parts, if necessary, brush, peel and dry as above
