I use a hot water bath, and I’m told you can also use the microwave.  I’ll use a glass bowl to heat them, I put in about a centimeter of water and soak the wrap in it until the water gets warm, I take out the wrap and I lay it on the food.  Then I put the hot water back into the bowl, put the wrap back in the water, and put it back into the microwave for about half a minute, and let it soak in the water until the bowl gets warm.  I then remove the wrap from the bowl and put it back on the food.  It works really well!  Can I tell you more about beeswax wraps?  I’m happy to talk about them more if you want to!

To prepare a beeswax wrap, you take a very small amount of beeswax, and press it into a rectangular shape.  Then you roll it out into a flat sheet, using a sharp knife or a pair of scissors.

Are beeswax wraps a decent alternative to plastic wrap?
user
This is a great question, I’m really excited about the chance to answer it!  Yes, beeswax wraps are a decent alternative to plastic wrap.  One of the main reasons I think they’re a good alternative is that they’re not made from petroleum.  But another reason they’re great is that beeswax wraps can be heated with hot water.
