No, the plastic will melt in the oven
=============
You can't wrap the DISH in plastic wrap then foil, but you can wrap the FOOD in plastic wrap, then foil, THEN put it in the dish to bake. Keep the temperature no higher than 350*F (177*C). Works great with ribs.
Well I'll have to disagree with this answer. Just last night I baked a plastic wrap covered Lasagna in Pyrex..... in fact, I made two 9 x 9 dishes without consequence. The pasta heated nicely in 45 minutes @ 350*. Easy removal without any cheese sticking to the wrap.... unlike it does with aluminum foil.
No, you cannot, the wrap will melt into the food and over the dish. Use aluminum foil or a pie tin for a cover.
When cooking rice, it is typically best to cook it covered. This helps the rice absorb the water evenly and cook properly.
When cooking meatloaf, it is typically best to cook it covered for the first part of the cooking time to keep it moist, then uncover it towards the end to allow the top to brown and caramelize.
Covered, you need a steam to form for the rice to cook.
Cover to cook and keep all moist; uncover if you want some 'crust' on top.
Cooking it covered will cook it faster as it keeps the heat in the food, and if your cooking meats will help to keep the juices in. Uncovered foods will bake faster on the outside possibly buring before the inside gets fully cooked.
I'm pretty sure it means to actually cook something. 'Cook' in non-cooking terms can meet to actually cook something or the chef. But in proper cooking vocabulary, chef refers to the person cooking.
Cooking rice with plastic bags over the top and under the lid can be unsafe as the plastic may release harmful chemicals when exposed to heat. It's best to avoid using plastic bags in direct contact with heat when cooking food. Opt for using a proper lid to cover the rice while cooking instead.
It Depends On What Your Cooking
Cook sharks with cooking guatlents.
It will cook faster and more thouroughly that way.
It depends on what your cooking. If your cooking soup or stew you probably should cook it in a crock pot. But if your cooking brownies or a cake you should cook it in the oven for best results. If your cooking mac and cheese you should cook it in a oven.
