How hot does food get in a microwave? I know you can boil water in that stuff (like saran-wrap)

Hmm, yeah I think you got a point there Dave. Just a bit uneasy on the thought of melted clear plastic on the hood of a GS

Not sure how hot is has to get but if you heat something for too long in the microwave, the plastic wraps do get somewhat tweaked.

Try a condom King Kong uses. I think the GS bra is $120 or so.

not a good idea. the plastic wrap isn't thick enough to really withstand much hit. just imagine how easy it is for you to punch a hole in it. plus dave got a point too, if it starts to melt...
