3. Reseal Plastic Bag With Iron 

Keep your food stuff fresh with this easy resealing trick. Be sure to wrap the plastic part with aluminium foil before ironing. Otherwise, the plastic will melt. There is a similar trick using hot knife but we figured that it won't be that practical because the knife will just melt through the plastic. You might have to wait for the knife to cool off a bit before attempting to reseal it properly.
