What cling film can do...

Protect against freezer burn: Frozen food in cans that do not close properly will freezer burn. To protect them, simply cover them with a piece of cling film before closing them.

Uncorking wine: The cork taste in wine comes from the trichloroanisole contained in the cork. If you place cling film in a glass carafe, add the wine and swirl for a few minutes, the film absorbs the trichloroanisole. Remove and enjoy!

Make tools easier to grip: If the hammer handle is slippery, the work becomes more laborious. A few layers of cling film around the handle will give you an instant grip.

Poaching eggs: Great idea for anyone who hasn't quite got the hang of it so far! Put the raw egg in cling film, tie the whole thing into a bag and then drop it into simmering water.

Cut thedough: For smooth edges without sticking, place the cling film over the dough and cut with a cutter.
