It doesn't melt, but it does draw tight onto the pan. Think shrink wrap material. It basically keeps all the moisture in, and the foil overtop of it helps distribute the heat. Maybe without the foil it would get some holes, but with the foil it draws to a tight seal. To anyone trying this method, be extremely careful when you go to take it off as a lot of steam will be released and can burn your hand. It's best to pull it up at a corner and let go. It will snap over the lip of the pan and a cloud of steam will rise. Once the cloud has dissipated you can take it off the rest of the way.
