I saw this product reviewed by a bunch of eco-conscious sites and was excited enough that I wanted to try them out myself. They're meant to replace stuff like plastic wrap. It's hemp/cotton fabric infused with beeswax and plant extracts. It's reusable and molds easily to any bowl or container, becoming a perfectly fitted cover. It can be folded up to store cheese, vegetables and fruits and is relatively water resistant.

The beeswax makes it a rather stiff fabric, but it turns malleable as the beeswax warms up in your hands. Because it's the wax that makes it stick to the bowl, keep its shape after it's shaped and makes it water resistant, you can't apply heat to it. So you can only wash it with cold water and soap, you can't use it in the microwave and you shouldn't use it for hot foods. It is, however, really good for covering bowls of leftovers and unused portions of minced veggies or half finished glasses of juices.

In my experience, they do leave wax residue on any dishes you use them on, but it is easily washed off with some hot water and a sponge. Also, with usage, the fabric gets more and more creased because of the beeswax. That doesn't interfere with its usage but just thought I'd point that out.

As for hubby, he says that we pretty much never use tin foil for food storage anymore because of this. I think we actually do use less plastic wrap, but that could also be because of the recent acquisitions of covered containers. Still, I guess it was worth it if it means us producing less garbage.
