Stretch-Tite Vs. Saran Wrap and Other Plastic Wrap Products

In the middle of prepping the food for a wedding we were catering in the kitchen, my mother and I sent my husband to the store in search of some plastic wrap to cover some of the trays we were getting ready. He returned with a roll of Saran Wrap and my mother and I let out a collective groan.

"Isn't this what you wanted?" my husband asked us in bewilderment.

We proceeded to explain to him that there's a big difference in the quality of plastic wrap and its performance in the kitchen.

Saran Wrap and other plastic wrap on the market is flimsy, difficult to unwrap if it folds over itself, and can be hard to tear off of the roll. Aluminum foil works well with wooden and plastic containers, but does not form an air-tight seal to keep out contaminants, tears easily, and is not microwaveable. Glad's Press 'N Seal product adheres well initially to a variety of materials but it is difficult to tell some green beans from the asparagus through the frosted film.
Enter the superhero of leftovers everywhere - Stretch-Tite plastic wrap!

The caterers in the kitchen swoon, "We'll never use another plastic wrap product again!"

Long before Glad's Press and Seal wrap came out this wrap offered a tight seal on whatever you wanted to wrap up or cover. Stretch-Tite plastic wrap always clings tightly to the glass containers I typically use in the kitchen. I am even able to stack lightweight items on top of bowls covered with Stretch-Tite in my fridge which allows me to cram more stuff into my fridge and use my space more efficiently. I even put it down on my countertops to wrap up items and it stays in place because it clings so well when other lesser quality plastic wraps would flutter away with a passing breeze or air currents in your home. In comparison, Saran Wrap has a very loose "cling" or grip on containers which makes spills and accidents more likely as liquids slosh around or chunks of food escape if the container is tilted.
