waxed paper, you say... will have to try. I tried saving a couple bananas couple years ago in the freezer, but one rolled out and future ex wife said it damn near broke her toe!


I wondered about waxed paper too. Why not cling wrap?
would fit more tightly ergo less chance of freezer burn.
If there's a downside, what is it?


For the same reason confections and baked goods are typically wrapped
with waxed paper... plastic cling wrap is apt to adhere/bond... when
removed will pull away part of the banana. Bananas don't contain
sufficient water for freezer burn to occur. BTW, wax is not toxic,
wax is a natural plant/vegetable product. Of course feel free to do
as you want... I hope the rest of your lives isn't as broken/slovenly
as your newreader... what's with all the double spacing? And learn to
clean up your attributions... does your mommy still wipe your ass?
