Saran Wrap

Kitchen plastic sheeting

Saran Wrap is a brand name for thin, clingy plastic film used to cover food and keep it fresh.

Like Kleenex for tissues, the trademark has become genericized, with many Americans using it to mean any plastic wrap regardless of manufacturer.

Cover the bowl with Saran Wrap and refrigerate overnight.

The material clings to itself and to smooth surfaces, creating an airtight seal.
