Aid in Rolling Sticky Dough. Place the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap (or parchment paper) and roll out the dough to desired thickness. Remove one of the sheets of plastic wrap and use the other to invert the dough into the pie mold. No more dough sticking to your work surface.

Impromptu Container Top. Cover a container with plastic wrap so that there is an overhang over all of the edges. Twist and pull a long piece of plastic wrap tight to make a rope, and then tie the rope around the outside of the container, creating a seal.
