Roasting method seen on food network
Eggcellent
Posts: 69
I'm a fan of "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" (aka, Triple D) on the food network. Several times I've seen recipes where they are roasting something and cover it with what looks like ordinary saran wrap and then aluminum foil. While I see how this would be a good method to keep in moisture, I don't understand how the plastic doesn't just melt in the oven? Is this something other than saran wrap? Also, how does it keep from blowing up like a balloon? They never mention poking holes to let the steam out. Sorry for such a novice question but this has been bugging me for a while now.
Thanks in advance.

From what I've read, restaurant-grade plastic wrap is used to protect the food from drying out. I guess it's due to the fact that commercial ovens are typically convection and much more powerful than home ovens. I suppose it doesn't blow up because it is not air-tight.

It doesn't blow up because the foil keeps it down and it doesn't melt because of the moisture from the meat2 Large Eggs and a Mini 2 Pit Bulls and a Pork shoulder or butt nearby and 100% SICILIANLong Island N.Y.
