Keep forgetting to mention this - finally remembering.
We have discussed, before, the restaurant practise of covering a baking dish with plastic wrap before covering it with aluminum foil. but I don't think we had ever reached a conclusion about doing the same thing at home (presumably because the restaurant-grade plastic wrap may be specially formulate, etc., etc., etc.). The benefit of this practise is that it helps prevent some foods (esp. with cheese) from sticking to the underside of the foil. It also seals things in better.
Well, a little over a month ago, I just decided to try it. I covered the baking dish with plastic wrap, then covered over that with aluminum foil, and I made sure that there was no plastic wrap exposed - it was all covered by the foil.
It worked perfectly, just as it always had at the restaurant, so I've used the same method again, since then - including for the lasagna I made recently.
For the record, although I DO just happen to have some food-service foil, the plastic wrap I used was a grocery-store brand from Denver, called "WonderWrap," which doesn't make any special claims or warnings, other than the usual microwave instructions and not to use it under a browning element or in a convection oven.
So, I'm happy to say that this little trick DOES work at home.

If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?
