Bee's Wrap

--- Quote from: Bakersdozen on September 24, 2021, 10:16:21 am ---I bought a microwave food dome at Menard's (big home improvement store) about 4 years ago. I think it was $5. Of all the other efforts to get my husband to use something in the microwave, this he will use.
Those darned plastic shopping bags fit my bathroom trash cans perfectly. A beekeeping friend operates a booth at the farmers market and I believe her bags are compostable or breakdown. I sure they are more expensive.

That sounds like a great way to not use plastic wrap, or at least use less. I'll take a look at those, thanks.

Wax paper works well in microwave as a substitute for plastic.

Huh, I've never thought about wax paper being more ecofriendly than plastic wrap, but I guess it's biodegradable as long as the wax on it is organic. And even with synthetic wax, I'd imagine it still breaks down better than plastic wrap.

Anyone have a good recipe for making these?

As I said, I've never tried it, but honeybeesuite.com has a recipe, and Rusty has never steered me wrong with anything so far.
