When Reyn
olds Wrap® Aluminum Foil was introduced in 1947, it was advertised as “the pure aluminum foil for 1,001 kitchen miracles.” What made aluminum foil so useful back then is still true today.
Foil is just as useful today as it was back then, and it offers a variety of different foil products to meet your various household needs. Foil is moisture-proof, odor-proof, grease-proof, and it can be molded to any shape. Aluminum foil is available in a variety of widths and thicknesses to accommodate just about any task. It withstands high heat and extreme cold, making it perfect for everything from grilling to freezer storage. Foil minimizes cleanup and ensures that your food stays moist and tastes delicious.
| Why does aluminum foil not get hot when it is in a hot oven?
Actually, it does get hot. In fact, if you wrap a potato in aluminum foil and put it in a hot over, the foil will get hot first. This is because metals like aluminum are very good conductors of heat, so they absorb heat very quickly. When you pull out the potato, the same property of being a good heat conductor makes sure that the foil cools down very fast. It does get hot, but since it is so thin, and an excellent thermal conductor (being metal), it radiates/conducts away all of its heat so rapidly that it cools off much faster than anything else. |
