Don’t Throw Away Bubble Wrap — Keep It in Your Kitchen and You’ll Be Surprised by Its Uses

4. Keeps Pots and Pans Scratch-Free

If you stack your pots and pans, the metal surfaces can easily scratch each other.
Slip a piece of bubble wrap between each one, and they’ll stay like new for years.
This is especially important for non-stick pans.

5. Protects Glass Containers and Food Storage Jars

Wrap your glass food containers or mason jars before placing them in cabinets or carrying them in your grocery bag.
Bubble wrap prevents cracks and absorbs shock — useful for meal-preppers who transport food daily.

Bonus Hack: Line Your Trash Can to Catch Leaks

Place a piece of bubble wrap at the bottom of your trash can before inserting the bag.
It works as insulation, reduces odor buildup, and catches small leaks.
