=============

You cannot use plastic wrap DIRECTLY in the oven. You CAN wrap the food in plastic, sealing it tightly. Then wrap the package in aluminum foil, again, making a tight seal, and put it in a pan. Keep the temperature below 350*F (177*C).

Plastic wrap does not melt in the Sun as it is designed to withstand relatively high temperatures. It can be safely used for cooking which well exceeds temperatures experienced when exposed to the sun.

No, the plastic will melt in the oven ============= You can't wrap the DISH in plastic wrap then foil, but you can wrap the FOOD in plastic wrap, then foil, THEN put it in the dish to bake.

Easy removal without any cheese sticking to the wrap.... unlike it does with aluminum foil.
