Yes, this is how I've wrapped it initially for the refrigerator to
cool and then to go later into the freezer, but it didn't seem so
secure. I have to admit, I didn't wrap that well with the plastic
wrap. I'll give it another go.

Usually I put a sticker on the top of the foil to remind me that there
is plastic under the foil.
