Those do look very slick. I'd love to see user reviews.

Very cool. Didn't see price or where to buy. Would love that in my new kitchen.

Ooo! I'm an organizing and container nerd so I love those! I agree with crl, I would want to read reviews before I ordered.

Where would you keep them? I have a drawer just for foils, etc and keep them all in the drawer.

Interesting. I use one similar to Funky but comes standard with the Costco wrap. I keep it in my drawer and usually dispense from the drawer unless I have lots of wrapping to do. I also have a foil sheet dispenser from either Sam's club or Costco.

I am not a member of either but do prefer the Costco wrap to any of the standard grocery store varieties. It clings but is easy to manage. It comes with its own dispenser. One 250 foot roll lasts more than a year for me.

Some of the other organizers could be interesting. How many knives do you have - I got rid of the knife block that came with my kitchen. It took up too much space and not enough knife slot.

Have fun organizing! My kitchen is very organized (almost OCD) and I love it!

I have no experience with these, but it looks like these rolls have a cutter and you need to pull the roll out to use it. It seems that it could still be easy to tangle your plastic wrap. I don't use much plastic wrap, so I guess this isn't that important to me. I LOVE pre-cut foil sheets....we use them all the time to line the toaster oven pan. I also use pre-cut sandwich paper to cover items in the microwave to prevent splatters. The boxes of foil and sandwich sheets seem to last forever and the foil seems much more cost effective than cutting my own. I'm pretty OCD and I love an organized drawer, but I understand that these Blum products are pretty pricy so it would be a personal decision as to whether these are worth the cost.

Sorry this is off-topic a bit, but I'm curious, a2gemini, How do you store your knives since you removed the blocks? How do you store your prep knives and your "steak" knives without a block?

JK- I bought a wusthoff drawer insert (I think that is the brand but am on a bicycle trip) that holds more knives more securely and in less space. Still not enough room for my steak knives - they are in a case somewhere in the kitchen but are MIA currently.

Thanks a2gemini! Safe bicycling!

the blum dispensers are not compatible with american plastic wrap/foil. what a bummer!

Thanks for the update:)

We have the chic wrap. Like it a lot.

I'm a huge stretchtite fan. I bought this a few years ago, and have since purchased models for other family members. It stays in my upper drawer; pull to open drawer, pull out/dispense wrap with left hand, cut (close) with right hand. drawer.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ULEJBM?Version=1&entries=0

Dietitian,

I have the Blum and it works with my plastic wrap and Reynolds foil. What makes you think it does not work for American foil and cling wrap?

I called Blum cust service to inquire about the two different ones they had & they told me they are being discontinued because they don't work with American plastic & foil!!!
How do you like it? Do you have the orga line or the other?

does anyone have these? hsn wrapmaster

I would be sure and measure your drawer before investing in any money in these products.

Carrie did a post awhile back regarding kitchen gadgets. I bought the Chic Wrap for aluminum foil, parchment paper & plastic wrap. Love all 3. I do have to take them out of the drawer so not as cool as OB2B's. I use more Glad Press & Seal than Saran Wrap. Anybody know of a dispenser that works w/ that?

edit: changed Glad Wrap & Seal to Glad Wrap & Seal.

I have Chic Wraps for my foil, parchment paper and plastic wrap, and bought an extra plastic wrap one for my wax paper. I don't see any reason why you couldn't do the same Romy and just remove the plastic wrap that came in the box (to be used later as a refill) and put in your Glad Wrap & Seal. I was actually thinking of doing that myself for the occasional times I use the Glad.

I'm not sure that I'd want to keep it in the drawer. That defeats the purpose, imho. I take the box out, set it next to what I want to wrap, and then pull it out until it's long enough to cover what I want with the extra length to actually wrap around it, and then use the cutter. If I cut it from the drawer, I'd have to guess the length I need and I'd probably get plastic wrap all mangled up together while carrying it over to what I'm wrapping.

I actually sometimes get to giggling while using them because they make it all so easy and fun.

Dietitian,

I am not quite sure why Blum said that. I like both the wrap and the foil one. I am going to try wax paper and parchment in the foil dispenser. They are a little different to use. You roll up on the little bar what you need, cut, move to the bowl and unwrap the cling wrap. Return the bar to the drawer you don't have to move the whole unit.

I like the process a little better than the Wrapmaster which is what I had before. I think the issue with the wrap master is that it is bulky and a little larger than fits my hand to move it out of the drawer. I like both the blum and wrapmaster better than the boxes because the cardboard always got some liquid on it and the cutters will always stop working on me at some point.

Good luck!

Funky - I did try both the Glad Wrap & Seal in both Chic Wrap plastic & foil dispensers. The Glad W & S is so sticky - it was even more difficult to dispense. I think you recommended the Chic Wraps in Carrie's thread. Thanks. Aluminum foil is a pleasure to pull out & cut.

Yeah, I probably did because I love them so much. I truly do smile every time I use them. Especially plastic wrap. It's goofy, I know. Good to know that the Glad doesn't work. I don't use it that often so I'll keep struggling with the cheap box and using my scissors on that.

Dietitian,

I use Reynolds wrap foil heavy duty. For cling wrap, I use Glad Cling Wrap and Reynolds Plastic Wrap.

Good luck!

funkycamper,

I was browsing Chic Wrap site and noticed that each dispenser comes with a roll of plastic wrap and foil etc. The question is...do you buy the replacement roll of wrap and foil from Chic Wrap or from regular grocery stores?

Thank in advance!

Mindy

I just refill with whatever I buy on sale at the store.

funkycamper,

What is the material of these dispensers? I was not able to figure it out from their web site. Can these dispensers be kept in these drawers?

I don't really know what they're made of. A thick, strong reinforced cardboard? Something else? I just know that if you squeeze, drop or bang them on something, they don't bend, fold in, crease or anything. Oh, I'm sure they would have their limits. I wouldn't let the kids use them for sword-fighting, lol. They are wrapped in a very shiny paper that has a coating on it, almost as if they have been laminated. I accidentally had one sit in a bit of water once and it didn't harm anything but it was probably only in the wet for 3-5 minutes. I think they should last years unless they are super-abused somehow.

I have no idea if they would fit in drawers like that. I just measured and the dimensions are 2.5x2.75" and they are 13.5" long. The parchment paper one is the same size around but is 17.5" long.

Hope that helps.

Homepro01, What size wraps do you use and where do you buy them for using in your Blum dispenser. I can't find a size that fits either dispenser. They are all way too thick for the space.

Thanks

Ed

Ed,

i think I have both Reynolds wrap and something from Whole Foods. They both fit fine. I am away from home for the week but will check when I get back.

Thanks homepro01! Really appreciate it.

Hello eadib,

I checked the pantry and it is biobag and reynolds wrap that fits.

Good luck!
