Buy the brand name with the metal cutter, or find one with a sturdy box
and cutting edge. The cheapie brands just don't work well.

Have your bowl of whatever ready to cover. Hold the box in one hand and
pull the plastic with the other, right over the top of your bowl. Angle
the box and pull the plastic so it tears on the cutting edge. It should
fall right on top of your bowl. No folding, no tangling.
