Thanks Nancy for the info on the Glad product. I use Glad Cling Wrap
to wrap foods that have fats touching the wrap, such as pie dough,
etc. I will look at Glad Press n' Seal, too. I do wrap some meats in
a deli wrapper and then put them in a freezer Ziplock.

Gallon-sized ziplock is the largest I can find and this dish wouldn't
fit into it.
