Stretch-Tite Premium Plastic Food Wrap, 500 Sq. Ft. Roll (Pack of 4)

Stretch-Tite was highly rated by American's Test Kitchen so I wanted to try it, especially since I'm disgusted with the poor quality of grocery-store plastic wraps. Stretch-Tite lived up to the review: It sticks well to glass and plastic but not to itself. I recommend it.

Cooks Illustrated recommended Stretch-tite and I agree. It's far superior to any other product. I'm a convert!

I first learned about Stretch-Tite in the mid 1970's when I purchased a microwave oven from a store that carried only microwave ovens and accessories.

They offered various microwave cooking classes and always used and sold this product.

It is the only wrap I've ever used that won't melt in the microwave when cooking or reheating meats containing fat or items that contain sugar.

It's the only wrap I've used since I first learned about it and I absolutely love it.

Yes, S-T does perform as described in the comments.

The cutter on the box is extremely sharp and it's easy to injure yourself. Much safer is the Wrapmaster 2500 sold by Stretch-Tite for $20 (plus shipping around $10). Seems like a high price to pay, but it can save you some heartache. Although the cutter has a guard and lock, it's very sharp, so keep away from kids. Don't bother searching the web for the best price on the Wrapmaster, since it seems to be unavailable (except from the S-T people). They also make a slide cutter that fits on the cardboard box ($3.00 plus shipping).

I've heard that mini-warehouse grocer "Smart & Final" brand plastic wrap is as good or better, but haven't tried it yet. S&F stores (no membership needed) are located only in the western states (check their website).

If you are really into food preservation, I'd highly recommend the FoodSaver product line. I've been using a Professional II model daily for more than 10 years (the new model is Professional III), and an older model for 5 years before that. I have probably saved at least $1000 every year in bulk buying prices and minimal food spoilage since I bought it. Especially good for singles or two person households, who are at a disadvantage in buying in bulk because the foods spoil faster than you can use them.

A flyer I received from the manufactor dated December 31, 2007 says that the product is now available at local retail in California: Costco (#208721), Vons, Raley's, Ralphs, Gelson's, and Safeway Markets. But I'll bet Amazon is still cheaper.

P.S. No, I don't work for either company, or Amazon!

I have tried every product on the market and stretch-tite is the absolute BEST. it always works to perfection. Other products get bunched up and caught in the roll, not stretch-tite. Not only does it come out smoothly, but it seals my food perfectly. Once you go stretch-tite, you never go back!
