    It depends on the thickness of the styrofoam. If you have used the store bought shrinkies, you notice that they curl up when they are heated. They start to lay back out when they have reached thier max shrink point. I kinda go by that. Kids want to watch them shrink anyway so you always have your eyes on them. Remember they are HOT when they come out but they will stick to the pan if you do not move them right away.

    I love this idea. Now to save the styrofoam meat trays. I am so impressed by the resourcefulness of this idea! What fun.
