[Products in Chuo-ku] A big standard of plastic bags! Bag wrap "I wrap"

Hello everyone. I'm Ino, a class B correspondent.
Today, I would like to introduce the products of Chuo-ku that I have been using at my home for many years.

Born in Osaka, raised in Hokuriku, living in Chuo-ku

Click here for more information. It's an eye wrap.

[Products in Chuo-ku] A big standard of plastic bags! Bag wrap "I wrap"

Eye wrap, eye wrap 100 large-capacity embossing type, eye wrap mini from left clockwise.

It is a so-called plastic bag with a kitchen gusset, but it is highly functional and easy to use, so we decided to use the plastic bag.

The manufacturer of this eye wrap is Iwatani Material Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Iwatani Material). I remember the logo of "Iwatani". Iwatani Material is a group company of Iwatani Sangyo Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Iwatani Sangyo), which has the largest share of cassette stoves in Japan. Speaking of Iwatani Sangyo, he is also familiar as a sponsor of the "Torijin Contest" hosted by Yomiuri Television Broadcasting in late this month. The eye on the eye wrap was I (eye) of "Iwatani".

Iwatani Sangyo, which was founded in Osaka City, is located in Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, but Iwatani Material is a company in Chuo-ku, headquartered in Shinkawa, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. By the way, cassette stoves and millers in our home are also "Iwatani", and Iwatanikasetho Co., Ltd., which sells these products, is located in Nihonbashi Daidenma-cho, Chuo-ku.

Although Eye Rap is a product from Chuo-ku, 75% of sales are concentrated in Yamagata, Niigata, Toyama, Ishikawa and Fukui (*). In the past, I don't know when and where it was, but I met Airap at my travel destination. It is said that it is not a limited product in the sales area, but I had never seen it in my range of life until then. ※From the official Twitter on July 18, 2018.

Recently, it has become widely known through official Twitter and SNS by patrons, and the number of shops handling it has increased. I also feel that it has become easier to obtain in Tokyo.

Now, I would like to explain the features of I-Lap.

I like this place of eye wrap

First of all, a triangular package that has not changed since its launch in 1976 (1976). This shape makes it easy to pinch the contents and remove them. In addition, the mouth of the bag is easy to open, so it's just a little bit, but I often feel that eye wrap is easier to use than other plastic bags.

I'd like this triangle.

When I was born in Showa, I feel a sense of familiarity with this retro atmosphere. It is a landmark when you find it at the store, so I want you to keep the design as it is forever.

There are two types of plastic bags for food and non-food, and eye wraps can be used directly for food, just like roll wraps as food packaging. Wrap it in an eye wrap made of high-density polyethylene to keep the ingredients fresh. Is it also due to high humidity resistance that frozen shred cheese stays flat without hardening?

The most reliable is the wide range of usable temperatures. The heat-resistant temperature is 120 degrees Celsius and the cold-resistant temperature is -30 degrees Celsius, and it supports everything from refrigeration and freezing storage to microwave oven and reheating with hot water.

This is one from freezing to reheating.。

※Foods containing oil should not be heated in a microwave oven.
※When applying hot water, spread a bakeware on the bottom of the pot so that the eye wrap does not touch the hot pot skin directly.

Depending on the product, there is a difference in the temperature resistance of plastic bags. Occasionally, "Is this bag OK for microwave oven?" Would you like to check the package display with anxiety, "Is it okay to put it in the freezer?" On that point, you don't have to worry about it.

It can be used in various ways depending on the device, such as heating multiple ingredients at the same time in a single pot, so it has become a hot topic as a camping item. At last, a recipe book appeared from the mountain publishing company "Yamakei", "Yamato Gorgesha". Eye wrap jumps out of the kitchen and is also useful in outdoor and leisure situations.

Sheet anything
Sister products released in March 2020. It is suitable for camping because it reduces washing.

It was an eye wrap that I casually picked up at a small general store where I was traveling, but I've been a fan since I was impressed with such a universal plastic bag. I don't use it so dexterously, but since I can use it with peace of mind in terms of quality, I make it a necessity for overseas travel. Eye wrap, which can be used as a wrap or bag, is convenient on the go.

"Don't cook the eye wrap with a rice cooker."

Official Twitter, which pushed the profile of eye-rap to the national ward, sends out a variety of information about eye-rap every day. One of the most often picked up is the method of cooking rice with hot water. Since the remaining hot water can be reused in hot water cooking, eye wraps are also attracting attention as emergency supplies useful in the event of a disaster. Since it was bag-shaped, tips for first aid were also introduced, such as icebags and simple gloves. It seems that there are many people who put them in emergency carry-out bags.

By the way, do you know that such tweets have become a hot topic?

"Don't cook the eye wrap with a rice cooker."

Eye wraps can be cooked with hot water, but cannot be cooked in a rice cooker. It's the same for plastic bags other than eye wraps. A plastic bag blocks the steam outlet in the rice cooker, causing accidents and breakdowns such as blowing off the lid.

I'm glad that the number of eye wrappers who are patrons of eye wrap increases and many people will teach you how to use them ingeniously, but sometimes by using incorrectly, accidents that the manufacturer may not think of It seems that it has been reported. Recently, the instruction manual of the rice cooker has also stated, "Do not cook food by putting the ingredients in a plastic bag or the like and heating it." . Official Twitter continues to self-retweet to alert you.

Eye wrap series
The number of friends has increased so much.

Eye wrap is a safe and convenient product only if you use it correctly. If you haven't used it yet, please try to realize the convenience of eye wrap.

There was also such an item.

There are other products of Iwatani Material in my home.

It may be surprising, but it's an interior item. "I'm D" is a design project for Iwatani Material, and has a lineup of many functional and stylish brands.

What I love is a combination of storage and stools.

It is made of polypropylene and has a load capacity of 100 kilograms. If you open the lid, it will be a storage room with a capacity of 26 liters, and if it is toilet paper, 12 rolls will be fully stored.

I really like it to sit down a little in the washroom, but unfortunately it has ended production now. Don't inadvertently break the parts of the seat. In the future, I would like to use it carefully while being careful not to exceed the load load capacity.
