How to Use Food Fresh Aluminum Foil to Keep Food Fresh

Aluminum foil is increasingly used in cooking. The food grade aluminum foil has an average thickness of about 0.2mm and is very soft. It can be easily folded, rolled and shaped, making it ideal for use as food wrappers.

Aluminum foil protects food by blocking oxygen, odors, bacteria, light and moisture from reaching it. This makes the food last longer. Aluminum foil also acts as an insulator in hot and cold conditions, so the temperature of the food does not change for several hours.

If you don't have a refrigerator, cover your food with aluminum foil to keep its taste and smell intact. Place foil-lined foods in a dry, cool place away from sunlight. If you are storing food in the refrigerator, wrap the food one by one in aluminum foil to protect it from the smell and taste of other food ingredients. In addition, aluminum foil can also be used to wrap food when traveling.

In addition to heat conduction, aluminum foil can also speed up freezing efficiency. For example, wrapping freshly bought raw meat and refrigeration can quickly keep it fresh. Wrapping leftover vegetables in aluminum foil has a better effect on preventing moisture loss.

In addition, wrapping cream and cheese in aluminum foil can also prevent oxidation and hardening. When refrigerating soups, some pot lids are too high to put in. You can use aluminum foil to make your own lids, which saves space and keeps freshness.

You can also use aluminum foil to wrap vegetables or other foods when grilling. This method prevents food ingredients from drying out and keeps their appearance attractive. Plus, cooking with aluminum foil saves us from having to worry about cleaning the cookware later.

Aluminum foil is more effective at retaining the flavor and moisture of food than plastic film. However, be sure to wrap the food tightly to prevent air from entering so that the food will last longer.

Tips for using aluminum foil

1. When grilling, season them first and then wrap them in food fresh aluminum foil. Once cooked, immediately remove the foil layer and transfer to a dish.

2. If you plan to use the oven to grill chicken or other meat, it is recommended that you first cover the grill rack with aluminum foil. Season the meat, then cover it with aluminum foil, not too tightly, and bake until done.

3. Avoid using aluminum foil in microwaves. This is because the electromagnetic waves from microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so the food will not heat evenly. However, aluminum foil is still allowed if it covers only a small portion of the food.
