How to use wax paper to wrap a sandwich for your lunch. This method may not be the way Grandma or the deli does it but it holds together well enough to toss the whole sandwich in your backpack and is cheaper and way greener than plastic bags!
Tear off a piece of wax paper that is about 50% longer than it is wide.
Place sandwich in the middle of the paper.
Bring smooth (non-torn) edges together above the sandwich and line them up so the edges are both facing upwards.
Roll joined edges once or twice until they lay flat.
Turn whole operation 90 degrees and line up torn edges together facing upwards (It's OK if the folds are a bit sloppy so that edges are wider than the sandwich itself).
Roll the joined edges down in the same manner as the first edge (Seam overhangs a bit).
Flatten the rolled seam down and tuck the loose sides on both ends underneath to make two pockets thereby locking the wrapper. The tucked pockets sit above the sandwich itself.
Finished.
