I'd love it if you'd weigh in on what you would do and why. Would you save white tissue gift wrap for the purpose of draining cooked meat or fried foods?
Some very lovely friends of ours gave me a beautiful Mother's Day gift, and it was wrapped in several layers of white tissue wrapping paper. I saved the non-torn sheets to reuse for gift wrap of my own. However, I still have several sheets of slightly torn tissue. I'm thinking of using this to drain fried foods or cooked ground beef.
My reservations: first, that it wouldn't perform well for this use (bits of paper might get stuck to foods); and second, it's pure white, which means it was bleached. Would it concern you that dioxins from the bleaching process might contaminate foods as they're draining?
Or should I just compost the slightly torn sheets? I already composted the mostly torn sections.
What are your thoughts?
