Is cooking in plastic bags dangerous to your health like cooking steak on a braai grid in the bag it's sold in or defrosting meat on the styrofoam tray and cling wrap it's bought in?

It is a really bad idea to put styrofoam, cling film, etc. in an oven and in contact with your food. You and I have no idea what kind of chemicals could be released and come in contact with your food, and in any event it is very likely there would be some melting or a product could catch on fire. Always use oven safe plates, baking sheets, pans, etc. in the oven and use microwave safe cooking tools in the microwave.
