clingwrap

Stretchy food cover

Clingwrap is thin plastic film that adheres to itself and smooth surfaces, used to cover food containers or wrap leftovers.

The material stretches and clings without adhesive.

Also called plastic wrap or by the brand name Saran Wrap.

I covered the bowl with clingwrap and put it in the fridge.
