<strong>Aluminium reflective foil</strong> is among the few insulations that is not affected by humidity. Its insulating value remains unchanged whether in a dry or very humid climate.<br>
Because of its usefulness, aluminium foil accounts for about one third of the total household 'wraps' market - which includes all types of plastics film and paper products.<br>
Properties that make aluminium foil so useful include:<br>
• Heat tolerance - from freezing to baking and grilling<br>
• Heat conductivity<br>
• Strength<br>
• Impermeability<br>
• Hygiene<br>
• Deadfold - it stays wrapped around food items without needing further sealing<br>
• Non-toxicity and corrosion resistance<br>
• Suitability in all types of cooking mode, fan and convection ovens, grills and barbecues. Even in microwave ovens it can be safely used as a shield and will not create ‘arcing’ provided it does not touch the oven lining or other metal components.<br><br>
Aluminium reflective foil insulation creates a radiant barrier system that reflects radiant heat instead of absorbing it into the building structure. This type of insulation is not affected by moisture or humidity and performs at the same level no matter what the outside weather conditions.<br>
What is the use of aluminium reflective foil?<br><strong>Aluminium foil in Decorate a cake</strong><br>
No pastry bag handy? No problem. Form a piece of <strong>heavy-duty aluminum foil</strong>  tube and fill it with free-flowing frosting. Bonus: There’s no pastry bag to clean — simply toss out the foil when you’re done. Want a laugh? Here are hilariously bad cake decorating fails.<br>
Lure a fish<br>
None of your fancy fishing lures working? You can make one in a jiffy that just might do the trick: Wrap some aluminum foil around a fishhook. Fringe the foil so that it covers the hook and wiggles invitingly when you reel in the line.<br>
Aluminium foil is so familiar in domestic as well as professional kitchens, where it has been a valuable ‘culinary tool’, that it hardly needs further introduction.<br><strong>aluminium foil in Freezing</strong><br>
Because aluminium foil is malleable and will fold and wrap close to the food being stored, it is an ideal material for irregularly shaped items such as the remainder of meat joints etc. The deadfold characteristic of the metal allows the foil to be sealed by folding and without the need for any tie or tape.<br><strong>aluminium foil for Baking</strong><br>
Foil saves cleaning materials and work when it is used to line cake trays and moulds. It can be used to keep pastry moist while allowing the oven heat to penetrate quickly and effectively.<br><strong>aluminium foil in Miscellaneous Kitchen Uses</strong><br>
As a lining to the grill pan or the oven, aluminium foil takes all the burnt-on juices which are so difficult to clean. Just remove the <strong>tin foil</strong> lining and discard.<br>
Use it to provide a lifting strip under cakes or bread to help them out of the baking trays easily. The foil will not burn or scorch in the oven.<br>
Picnic lunches, sandwiches, cakes and fruit stay fresh when <strong>aluminium foil-wrapped.</strong></p>
