Which Side of the Foil Really Preserves Food? Here's How to Use It Correctly
Aluminum foil is an indispensable ally in every kitchen thanks to its versatility. It is used for packaging food, even baking in the oven, as well as for preventing food from sticking to the baking pan, which greatly simplifies dishwashing.
TL;DR
- Aluminum foil is a versatile kitchen tool used for packaging, baking, and preventing sticking.
- It has two sides: shiny and dull, which arise from the manufacturing process.
- For food storage, there is no significant difference between the shiny and dull sides; both protect and insulate equally.
- Some experts recommend using the shiny side inward during cooking to reflect heat better and ensure even thermal treatment.
