This is what I have said in an earlier thread:

Regards to the plastic wrap, I would not do it - there is no need in addition to Alluminum Foil. However, it would not burn up at those tempertaures, or even MUCH higher temperatures. For example, I just watched Charlie Trotter cook a desert in the oven at 325 in plastic wrap - no ill effects. Stuff is surprisingly stout if the temp is not severe or fire/heat is not directly placed on it.
I should point out, as others did, that this applies to the bulk food film. (Sort of like the difference between HD foil and the thin stuff.) And again, I personally do not typically wrap finished food in plastic wrap. It is either foil for short term, or foodsaver for longer storage.
