Reusable Food Wraps

Long-term studies of the persistence of plastics in the environment have made it very clear that we must either recycle or avoid as much plastic use as we can, and in many ways, the switch is easy. In the kitchen, glass and ceramic containers not only reduce plastic usage, but also minimize exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates — and they’re less easily stained by foods, particularly the curries I love to cook.

Metal and wooden utensils last longer than plastic ones. Plastic wrap, unfortunately, is hard to replace.
