FAQ
Do ingredients clump together when frozen in I-Wrap?
Because I-Wrap uses proprietary high-density polyethylene, it repels moisture, helping ingredients like chopped green onions and cheese stay loose while frozen.
What is a frozen meal kit?
It involves placing prepped ingredients into an I-Wrap bag and freezing them. To cook, simply remove from the bag and heat via boiling water or microwave.
Who is eligible for the book bonus?
Customers who order and purchase the paper version of the book via Rakuten Books. The e-book version is excluded.
