It keeps the moisture in the food. Can I use regular plastic wrap or do they use something special?

Saran Wrap can be used - Jacques Pepin did that to make a sausage without casing. Rolled tightly in the plastic wrap, then in foil and simmered to cook. Saran also makes a wrap labeled as microwaveable but whether the difference is content or just labeling, I dunno. Reynolds and other big-name plastic wraps may also be labeled thus, Martha Stewart has a bugaboo about foil, and always covers food in something else, then the foil, so it never touches the food. Of course, Martha would never be seen with a foil pie pan or roasting pan! Wed Sep 02 18:36:30 -0700 2009 5000575 159317 greygarious
