Aluminum foil wrapping and baking is good, too. It takes a long time and it's not terribly energy efficient. I also do them on the grill in foil (corn, too). However, increased aluminum concentration in the body has been linked to Alzheimer's disease.
I still think I'll be killed in either a car accident or a nuclear holocaust before the dreaded plastic wrap gets me.

Who said it was harmful? I find cooking "in plastic" rather disgusting from a culinary aspect, but I don't see any health issues as long as it's microwave/heat safe, although the end product is a poor cousin to real, quality food.
I'll give you some credit-at least you're getting exercise jumping to conclusions.
The reason I jumped to that conclusion is because it's the only reason for rejecting plastic wrap that is grounded in logic (flawed logic, but still logic).
How is cooking in plastic disgusting? Is it different from silicone bake ware in your opinion? Have you ever actually eaten a potato cooked in this manner?
Silicone bakeware? I don't use it. I cook with cast iron or enameled cast iron. There is nothing wrapped in plastic, nor is there teflon, silicon, or any other "*on" cookware in my kitchen.
You are correct on one point-I have not eaten a potato microwaved in plasic. I don't need to taste poo to know that it is poo.

I respect both your honesty and your steadfast adherence to your position.
