Pns sticks but easily comes off and doesn’t have to be torn. I can’t stand saran wrap or parafilm. Saran Wrap is a pita to remove as well.

Ive have dishes over a couple years old in my fridge with normal cling wrap. Not too sure i need something that lasts longer than 3+ years
@eat do i need to make a taking saran off dishes video it's the easiest thing in the world man. You don't even unwrap it you can just pull it off as a ring. Then you don't have a stringy mess on your hands either

I started doing that also because I couldn’t pick the end off with gloves on. I figured out I could just pull on part of the wrap and it stretches enough to just pop the dish out.
Then ball up the wrap and koooobbeee.

So I can see someone doing a write up of Parafilm/Saran/pressandseal now.... Why not just use caulking and glue the kids shut. Lol

You don't pick At the edge. You simply drag your finger tip against the direction of the wrap and it rolls the edge right up. I guarantee there is nothing easier. Especially if you use rubber gloves, it sticks so hard it never fails to roll it up.

Bodhisatta: I'm sorry to resurrect this thread but I'm curious. I've started using parafilm since our last exchange and I really love it. When you wrote about hating to cut parafilm to size, did you mean strips or a square to cover the whole plate? (Which some people seem to be doing.)
Cause I just cut off a strip, a little less than an inch, from the dispenser using large scissors. And I get a very nice clean seal around the edge of my plates. Very convenient and beautiful. And of course it provides gas exchange.

Parafilm for the win. Saran wrap sucks for plates. But that's just my shitty opinion...

I find Saran Wrap to be a pita as well. I was just unwrapping a plate. Parafilm is easy to wrap plates up. For Saran Wrap do you have to cut it into strips? I don’t cut parafilm. I simple wrap and stretch it around the plate and pull and it comes off. Can’t get easier than that.

See Bodhi's comment here: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26463505#26463505
I'm sure it's the next best thing... after using strips of Parafilm.

If I must. The way I understand it Bodhi cuts off a slice of the cling wrap roll with a very sharp knife and uses the resulting mini roll to wrap the plates along their edge.

Yeah, this is what i do all day. Just cut the roll into rolls the size of electrical tape. it covers just the edge and then overlaps onto the bottom and lid by like a 1/8" and seals clear so you can even tell its there. I don't think anyone is promoting what some people do by wrapping there dishes with entire roll width sections like leftover meatloaf.

You use strips of parafilm. You don't cover the whole dish just the edge.
If Saran isn't easier than parafilm you either are salty bod exists or have motor neuron damage. It takes less than half the time to wrap a stack with cling film than parafilm. Not like its worth the argument people like one or the other. Some people just have an agenda to try to be losers.
Watch the video and try to call it dumb

Yeah but parafilm is on a roll and you can easily wrap around the plate and pull and it’s done. Super simple for me. No way I’m cutting pieces of anything. Cutting 50 plates of Saran Wrap, no thank you. Seems like a lot more work than a quick wrap and pull. I also have not tried the Saran Wrap like that but I have trouble wrapping leftovers in a bowl with Saran Wrap. 
Press n seal though is very sticky and sticks to plastic as well. I haven’t tried it on plates but I’m also not cutting pieces of that either.
I use rolls of it like this.

I also use no pours that don’t need to be wrapped. So I’m really only wrapping plates that kind members donated with the parafilm. But I find the Saran Wrap remove a little wonky.

I never tried parafilm, shit's expensive. Saran wrap works and is easy to use.

I dont need to watch a video to know that cutting up a roll of saran wrap is complete waste of my time.
Parafilm is cheap! When used properly it lasts a long time.
I've tried saran wrap just to see what i think and i think it sucks. I dont like that i cant strecth it like parafilm. It doesnt feel as secure to me.

It's at least 10x the price of saran wrap

What? Saran wrap definitely stretches. I think it's more about your technique than the issue with saran wrap itself.

There’s some miscommunication about how cling works. You wouldn’t have to cut 50 pieces, you just saw off an inch of wrap from the main roll and that’s it.
Press the loose edge against the dish pull it tight and spin it around snap it off and the plates wrapped so tight it’s invisible.
