OMG..........how will I ever nuke without my plastic wrap?.....it makes the food worth eating.....that's it - I'm not nukin any more - I will instead wait 30 minutes to heat the oven AND the house in summer......then add another 15 to "dry roast" any leftover than may have looked appetizing. Yeah I'm sure glad I read this.................LOL
