The popularity of food grade aluminum foil is easily explained. It is widely used during cooking both at home and in the restaurant business, but its application is not limited to this either.
Metal for good
Relatively recently, in order to create certain conditions for baking products in the oven, the dishes in which this was supposed to happen were sealed with dough. In the case when the pot or other container was in a single copy, problems usually did not arise, but when several of them were required, the complexity of the preparation process increased many times over.
The creation of food grade aluminum foil has opened up new horizons of culinary, today the process of cooking baked fish has been simplified to the point that any, not even a very knowledgeable housewife, can handle it. And this applies not only to fish, but also to other products.
Thus, in foil, you can cook, for example, pork leg and even lamb shoulder.
Fish baked with vegetables seems to be an ideal dish. For example, cooking the same carp is practically not difficult. The process is as simple as possible and does not require significant time expenditures
It is enough to cut the cleaned and prepared fish through one centimeter almost to the ridge in order to dissect the intermuscular bones. Next, the fish should be sprinkled with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
On a sheet of foil, put chopped vegetables, onions in half rings, carrots in strips, tomatoes in slices in a rather thick layer. Transfer the carp carcass to this pillow and carefully wrap it in several layers of foil.
It is necessary to bake the dish in the oven at 180 degrees for thirty minutes.
Foil versatility
It may seem strange, but food aluminum foil can easily help the hostess not only in cooking. There are a great many unconventional ways of using foil.
It makes sense to cover the oven grate with foil, then it will be easier to remove spilled liquid or fat. When frying meat, you can do the same with the stove, leaving only space for gas burners - and you no longer face the tedious cleaning of the gas stove surface.
You can easily make disposable cake tins from foil. If hot baked goods are first wrapped in a napkin and then in foil, it will stay warm longer.
It is convenient to bake potatoes in foil. Eggs wrapped in foil will not burst during boiling. To get a golden brown crust and prevent the edges of the cake from charring, it is enough to protect it around the perimeter with strips of foil.
Even when ironing, it makes sense to cover the ironing board with foil. Reflecting heat, it speeds up the ironing process.
Aluminum foil can also help with the patching process. It is perfectly reasonable to use it as a backing, as it does not stick to the fabric and protects the ironing board from glue.
