Probably. It's worth a shot. But I'd use "regular" plastic wrap, just because I'd be afraid of what the glue would do when it got hot.finley1991 said:Here's a question for all of you... if it weren't for that little knob on the lid, I could get the baker into my microwave. I've done the 30 minute chicken without a problem because you don't need the lid, but I want to make the pork recipes. Do you think I could use press 'n seal in place of the lid?

ChefBeckyD said:I have used it to do Baked Beef Stew - very good! also very good for a big pot of baked beans! the Caramel Apple Bread Pudding from last fall/winter SB can be done in the oven and I LOVE that!
You-hoo! :balloon: I can help with this! I introduced Press 'n Seal to my area as part of a marketing gig I had!!! The worst thing that could happen--and that's a big maybe--is that you'd be left with a bit of sticky residue on the outside of the baker. But that does come off with some elbow effort and soap! What I will tell you is that prolonged moisture from the steam can weaken the "sealing" properties. So that after maybe 10 minutes of the strong steam working at it, you'd have leakage. KWIM? In other words, I think you need something stronger than Press 'n Seal to cook with the DCB.But if you still want to try it--I don't mind being corrected!!!!chefann said:Probably. It's worth a shot.

Thanks, Cath. I've had terrible luck with the glue from Press n Seal NOT coming off things, which is why I didn't recommend it. I'd hate to use it and end up with nasty sticky gunk on my stone. But that's cool to "know" someone who had something to do with it!PC_CPR said:You-hoo! :balloon: I can help with this! I introduced Press 'n Seal to my area as part of a marketing gig I had!!!

Would you share your recipes???PC_CPR said:I love using the DCB for scalloped potatoes and beef stew in the microwave. I just had to play with the time and liquid amounts to get it just right. (My first stab at the stew yielded dry meat that was a bit tough but was still tasty enough for me to eat it anyway!!!).
