Plastic wrap / cling film- best not to use

Plastic wrap (also known as cling film, Saran wrap, or food wrap) is cheap and practical, but its negative cannot be ignored. This stuff is considered quite hazardous to your health, especially if heated or when your food contains fats. 
 Every Type of Kitchen Paper Plastic Wrap
Although many plastic wrap manufacturers moved away from using PVC (polyvinylidene chloride), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), and Plasticizers (all of which leach carcinogens and heavy metals like lead and cadmium into foods), microplastic particles in newer cling films may still be capable of polluting your food. There’s also no guarantee that the plastic wrap in your pantry is not made of PVC or any other harmful chemical (and we won’t even get into the environmental problems with plastic wrap).

Manufacturers and experts now recommend “keeping the wrap at least 1 inch from food surfaces will eliminate any potential risk,” but we all know that doing that with most foods would be tough or impossible. So instead of explaining to you how to use plastic wrap carefully, we’re here to offer other solutions. 
 
1. When preparing puddings or custards, use parchment paper instead of cling film to prevent a tough film from forming on the surface. 
 
2. Use glass or stainless-steel containers to store food. 
 
3. To cover open jars and such, you can use silicone covers, a plate, or parchment paper, and a piece of string or a rubber band. 
 
Beeswax food wraps are a great replacement for wrapping foods and even freezing them. Read on to learn what these are and how to use them.
