Ina Garten Uses This Food Storage Hack ‘All the Time’

With an almost endless array of kitchen products to buy online, choosing which items to stock in your kitchen can be a difficult task. So when the experts share their personal favorites, we take it to heart. In a 2021 YouTube video for New York Times Cooking, Ina Garten shared a few of her favorite things, and among the kitchen scale and food mill she keeps in her own kitchen was a genius organization hack you’ll wish you thought of sooner. The Barefoot Contessa uses this plastic wrap dispenser “all the time” to slice consistent pieces.

“Instead of fighting with that box,” Garten said, all you have to do is pull out as much plastic wrap as you need, push the lid down, and the Stretch-Tite Wrap’n Snap instantly dispenses a perfectly even sheet.

“So much wrap gets wasted because of a damaged carton that was a poor design in the first place,” noted one Amazon shopper. The Wrap n’ Snap prevents plastic wrap from ripping unevenly or sticking together, ultimately saving you from wasting product. The gadget makes cutting even the thinnest plastic wrap easy without it bunching up and becoming unusable. 

This plastic wrap dispenser has a convenient dual cutting system, so you can choose to slice using the sliding cutter or serrated metal blade. At 3.5 x 14 x 4.75 inches, the Wrap’n Snap is compatible with rolls of all sizes, from 250 to 750 feet, and is designed to be used over and over again. When you run out of plastic wrap, “It’s super quick and easy to refill,” said another happy Amazon shopper.

“It keeps the roll from wrapping back on itself after cutting, provides three points to grab the wrap and make a clean cut with a press of the lid,” an Amazon reviewer wrote. “It is finally worth buying cling wrap.”

The Stretch-Tite plastic wrap dispenser is a clever way to organize your kitchen. It can be stored in the cabinet or hung on the wall to take up less storage space. The two detachable feet prevent scratches on the countertop, and locks closed to keep drawers from jamming.
