if you think about the chemicals used in the papermaking process you might want to re-think using grocery store bags. There are, or at least were, paper bags mades specifically for cooking in. There is even a cookbook written by the guy that invented them. It was writen in 1912. A little research on line might find ou some bags but I wouldnt use the grocery store bags. There are oven roasting bags for chicken etc. Look in the paper and plastic bag section of your local store.

The chemicals come from the ink contained in the logo’s.

So long as you use a plain paper bag you should be fine.
