    In the process of making no-knead bread I put the dough in the oven overnight, thinking it would be a bit warmer than leaving it out b/c our old house is really cold. Today at lunch, I was making kale chips, and forgot about the dough until the oven reached 180 degrees F. The plastic shrank to the sides, and it didn't look like it touched the dough, since it is in a large metal bowl, but my question is is it safe to proceed with the bread or did any toxic chemicals leach into the dough? I am neurotic about plastic, and am inclined to toss it, but wanted to get some opinions on the matter.
    Thanks, LO

    As long as the dough is okay and there is not melted plastic in it, I would just toss the wrap out and proceed with the bread. I think people are overly paranoid about toxic substances anyway.

    Thanks Toria. I ended up tossing it, as I thought I smelled plastic while it was baking. As I said, I am pretty neurotic about plastic. I am also neurotic about throwing away food, but had to do it this time.

    I would not want to eat anything that tasted like plastic so its good you tossed it.
