You wrap hot food in an oven in plastic?!

  The double wrap, once in plastic and then again in foil probably makes it work. Same as you can boil water in a plastic cup over an open fire. As long and the ribs are sufficiently moist, the steam will keep the plastic below melting temps and foil will reflect a lot of infrared. They make microwave steamer bags out of plastic, and even pre-made pork chop oven bags. Modern plastic wrap is also supposedly free of all the leachable nasty phthalates and stuff of yesteryear. I can see it working out. That said, I don’t understand why double wrapping ribs would be any more effective than well crimped foil wrapping.

  That's probably not safe, even if it seems like the wrap still has integrity.
