How to Use Beeswax Food Wraps:
At room temperature your food cloth becomes malleable, allowing you to shape it around a bowl or twist it over a food. Once refrigerated, the shape will quickly set, providing a healthy, breathable environment for your produce, allowing gases to pass through the cotton preserving food from spoiling prematurely.
Care : After each use, simply wipe over or gently handwash in COLD water, use mild soap as needed. Drip dry. Every couple of months or so, refresh your beekeeps by pasteurising them in the oven on baking paper at 100℃. With care and good use your BeeKeep food wraps should last the year and beyond. At the very end of its time, simple integrate through the compost and replace.
