Do you know how to use aluminum foil correctly? Some people still don’t know that it doesn’t matter when they use the matte side and when they use the glossy side. The glossy and matte side is not just a question of aesthetics. The glossy side transmits heat, while the matte side reflects it.
How to use the matte and glossy side?
It depends on what you need. If you wrap food in aluminum foil that you want to keep warm for as long as possible, cover it with the shiny side facing out. If you wrap food in aluminum foil that you need to grill as quickly as possible, for example, it’s the other way around – the dull side should be facing out.
You can use aluminum foil in several ways
In addition to wrapping food in aluminum foil and keeping it warm for a while, you can also use it in place of parchment paper. You can arrange the ingredients for grilling in foil and the flavors will combine beautifully. The meat in foil will be cooked evenly. Makeshift dessert molds can be made with several layers of aluminum foil.
Tinfoil in the garden
Aluminum foil will serve well not only cooks, but also gardeners. Just mix it into the soil and it will serve as an insect repellent.
Sharpen your tools

You can polish jewelry and dishes with the help of aluminum foil
The film also works as a perfect cleaner. You can use it to clean not only cookware, but also old silver jewelry that doesn’t look like new anymore. If you pass a hot iron over the foil several times, it will also be cleaner.
