Why does plastic wrap shrink down to the food when you take it out of the microwave?

Answer 1

You are not supposed to put Saran Wrap in the microwave. Oh no, the toxins have already affected your brain.......

Answer 2

Stop covering your food with plastic wrap in the microwave.
Better to put a paper towel over your food than getting the plastic toxins that are released when the plastic is heated in the microwave.
The plastic is heated and the elasticity is increased during the heating process this causes the plastic to droop onto your food and also release toxic chemicals onto it.

Answer 3

Physics

The pastic will take the path of least resistance under stress. Putting plastic in the microwave puts it under stress, generally from the pressure of heat and moisture stretching it.

Answer 4

Because the steam under during the cooking expanded it like a balloon. So when the cooking stops, the steam escapes and leaves it to drop like a lead balloon!
