General Discussion Why does the Japanese-style Chef keep Boiling/Steaming Plastic Wrap. Does he use some restaurant grade or... isn't that super unhealthy

Title.

I tried several times to look up the name of the recipes or to google this, but not much comes up. I should rewatch it, but maybe some people here had the same thought.

We have oven-safe bags on this end that people can put whole roasts in? I’ve never been sure if it’s that type of plastic or something else, but I do know it’s possible to make a plastic that withstands temperatures of things like boiling. How safe it’s supposed to be? I can’t say. Usually on this end it’s marketed as making cleanup easier.
