Tinfoil can help us a lot around the house. Many people only automatically use it one way and don’t even consider that one side is dull and the other is shiny. But it offers more uses than just quick food packaging.
Matte or glossy side?
How to use it correctly? When to pack food with the dull side facing up and when with the glossy side? It’s simple: the matte side transmits heat and the shiny side reflects it. So, if you want food wrapped in aluminum foil to stay hot for as long as possible, wrap it with the dull side in and the shiny side out. Conversely, when preparing baked or grilled meat or potatoes in foil, wrap them with the shiny side in and the opaque side out.
It will help you in the garden and in the workshop
When you cut it into pieces and mix it into the ground, it can repel insects. In the workshop, you can sharpen blunt scissors with the help of him. Just fold the sheet, cut it with scissors and they will be wonderfully sharp.
Do you like highlights?
It also has its irreplaceable place in the hairdresser. It is used to lighten and illuminate the hair. With the help of him, you can also create beautiful waves at home, even without curlers. Cut it into sheets and make rolls. Then wrap the individual strands over them. And finally, it can also be useful for a normal hair pack or nail care: it will help speed up nail polish removal.
How to clean the jewelry? Aluminium sheet
It is also an irreplaceable aid when cleaning and polishing jewelry. Works well when cleaning silver jewelry and larger items. Just squeeze it and use it instead of a thread. You can also clean the iron by sliding it over the aluminum several times, but it must be hot.
Calorific value of radiators
You can use it even in winter. With the shiny side facing out, place the foil over the radiator or the wall behind it. Thanks to its insulating properties, the calorific value will increase and you will be warmer at home. In short, tinfoil is universal and you should always have it in stock at home.
