Watched a cooking programme recently where the chef was going to blind-bake a base. She spread Gladwrap/Klingwrap(?) over the top, filled with beans, then folded the wrap ends back over the top like a little parcel. Now, is this a special type of Gladwrap or can the normal be used like this? Can't imagine plastic lasting in oven but I'm just a mere male.
And yes I know it can be used in microwave.

You can use baking paper like that... I'm really not so sure about gladwrap

Oh and by the way, never cook in plastic, be it gladwrap, containers etc... it's cancer causing when you heat plastic and seeps into your food... controversial, but enough evidence to suggest it could be true.

That's what I thought would happen so must be a different product.

I'm with babytears on this subject. If I had a microwave and actually ate food from it, I wouldn't use plastic. Hardly even use plastic for storing cold food in. There are plenty of things you can use. Before baking paper I just used to use ordinary old greaseproof. It would get a bit burnt around the edges but kept its integrity long enough for a blind bake.
