That makes me think of crockpot liners, which are apperently a thing

Like, you cook your food, in the plastic. The most pointless thing I've seen.

I suppose it's for people who feel like they are not ingesting enough microplastics.

Sous vide style slow cooking, vacuumized in a bag, had it's merits as you can't really do it any other way. This, however is a lazy way to avoid cleaning (like using plastic plates to avoid doing the dishes).

Mmmm that plastic bag taste. Just like mom used to make. Until she died of microplastic poisoning.

We aren't there yet but soon. GenX I bet you'll see the first person die directly as a result of micro plastics. Boomers, I think cancer has got them for the most part and I'm confident we will solve that riddle in the next few decades

Slightly related, why does clingfilm smell so strong? I never used it because the taste always went onto whatever I wrapped in it.
