5 things you should never do with aluminum foil:
1. It should not be microwaved
This is perhaps the most obvious, but it never hurts to be reminded —Never, under any situations, use foil to wrap anything and put it in the microwave. Electromagnetic waves can’t flow through metal the way they do through paper or glass, so they bounce off, causing sparks and flames that could damage your oven or, worse, create fires.
2. Don’t bake cookies on it
While foil can be used to line a baking sheet for purposes such as crisping bacon in the oven, it is not the greatest liner for cookies. If you use aluminum foil to line your cookie sheet, the bottoms of your cookies will cook faster, resulting in an uneven bake. Use parchment paper, a silicone baking mat, or a high-quality nonstick spray instead.
3. It should not be used to line the bottom of your oven.
In principle, using aluminum foil to line the bottom of your oven as a catch-all for bothersome drips and spills is a smart idea. In practice, it isn’t the case. Even Reynolds Wrap says it’s not a good idea: “We do not recommend using aluminum foil to line the bottom of your oven to avoid any heat damage.
4. Don’t use it for acidic foods
Acidic foods (such as tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tart fruits) can react with aluminum and corrode the foil over time. For certain goods, plastic wrap or even glass containers are preferable. Also, using foil to wrap food is only a temporary solution because a foil-wrapped burrito is not airtight.
5. After one use, don’t throw it away.
If it’s clean and not too crumpled, aluminum foil can be reused indefinitely. (You can wash it by hand or on the top rack of the dishwasher.) Why not squeeze a little more mileage out of it? Aluminum foil may also be recycled almost constantly. Consult your municipality or recycling service provider before doing your part.
In short, aluminum foil is a good kitchen appliance for us. It can help to protect food and prevent its moisture loss, retain the flavor for a long time, keep it fresh and tasty. Also, it is convenient for us because it is lightweight and can be carried anywhere we go. So, we should own it to make more delicious meals and save food.
