How to use Less Plastic Wrap


Functional, beautiful and environmentally sound.
At Eurostoves we try to minimize waste as much as possible.  We compost the fruit and vegetable scraps, egg shells and paper towels generated by our cooking classes and use it in our kitchen garden right out the back door.  We recycle everything we possibly can and when we have leftovers from a cooking class we either eat it or donate it to a local homeless shelter. 

One thing we struggle with, though is the need for plastic wrap to keep fruits and veggies as well as leftovers fresh.  The Berkeley Farmer's Market has a really useful list of the best ways to store different types of fruits and veggies without plastic wrap.  It's a great list and I highly recommend it.  Another solution we all love and use at Eurostoves and at home is the Lily Pad Lid.  It is reuseable indefinitely, heatproof, comes in a variety of sizes and looks great.
