my mother in law cooked us some meat for us to take home. i asked her to plastic wrap the bowl to avoid any spillage of grease etc but she gave me a horrified look and along with father in law they proceeded to explain how immediately wrapping food after cooking ( that is not allowing the hot steam to escape) will cause heartburn and gas!
here at r.f.c you have heard many stories, have you heard anything that substantiates this? i always thought most canned food and milk is heated up right before sealing the tin - pasteurization.

Wrapping hot food makes you fart? That has to be the silliest thing I've read here in a while
The anti-chemical crowd may say heating plastic is not good, but I've never heart the heartburn thing.

I have to agree with Ed. That's just silly. But you know how old wives' tales are perpetuated from generation to generation. It's probably something her mother told her.

I swear they are wrong, but I'd also not try to convince them. Save that for something way more important. I'm sure it will come up.

It's kinda like urban legends, only more niche: kitchen legends.

Yup. Sealing it while it's still hot enough to kill microorganisms is the safest way to store it.

The thing I like about this story is that you're ditching your mother-in-law *right after dinner*, before anything has had a chance to cool down. Excellent! I suspect her claim about heartburn was just a stalling tactic.

Sounds like an old wives tale to me. Which is probably appropriate, since we're talking about a mother in law...
