" I had to go check on my oven bags and mine are made by the Reynolds Co. I'll see if they have the ones by Glad. Wonder if ours would be acid free?" Patsy
Reynolds states that theirs are made of heat resistant nylon, which I assume should be fine. It is often the core of yarn (such as baby kid mohair) and of course clothing. Glad states theirs are made of heat resistant polyester. Perhaps someone on the list has knowledge or degree in chemistry or related. Interestingly, my mother wrote Reynolds many decades ago that they should make an aluminum bag to bake things, from turkeys to smaller individual servings. (When she was busy, she would make surprise dinners with meat, veggies and a sauce and individually baked.) They came out with aluminum bags not too long after that, but she never was acknowledged. The aluminum graduated to the "plastic" but many health proponents state neither is ideal for food exposure. In the main, sealing something seems pertinent, and I somehow had the idea that ziploc and glad's sealable bags were safe for yarn. Rubbermade and Sterilite containers are, as they are made of polypropylene and acid free, and are stated safe for fish tanks, etc. We had this discussion before, but I have seen archivists for major US historical museums on TV state they use Rubbermaid and acid free tissue.
