Tin foil, plastic wrap
Comments (1)We can put aluminum foil in the recycle bin with the other aluminum (for example, aluminum cans), but I'm pretty sure that you can't do this everywhere, so check with your local recycling authorities. We are not supposed to put plastic wrap or plastic bags in with the plastic recycling. I don't think we're allowed to use plastic wrap in with the plastic bag recycling either -- or bags from frozen fruits and vegetables, either....See Morealuminum foil/plastic wrap storage
Comments (24)Well, I took a flyer on the one that will sit on the shelf, and now I wish I'd gotten THIS shelf version; it looks more substantial than the one I got. (but they really shoudl have put the storage bags on the TOP, so you can pull one out w/o having to take the box all the way out. Also, the slightly larger boxes that some storage bags come in will fit nicely on the top) I got to wondering if there was some way to wall mount this one on the side. The wall mounted one Maria showed is neat--but this will be under the sink. It might be hard to bend down and pull the wrap out (not a lot of room below it). I sort of like having the wrap in the original bog. I used to store them on their ends (actually, I turned the shelf rack on its end, and let it hold them all up--the exact model I just ordered in fact, but I threw it out long ago) But I found that the end of the aluminum foil was getting crimped, and I couldn't pull a sheet off smoothly; it kept tearing. Pinktoes, I'm going to go look at that Siematic info....See MoreFoil Wrap.............
Comments (5)Which side of Reynolds Wrap� Aluminum Foil should I use, the shiny or the dull side? Actually, it makes no difference which side of the aluminum foil you use�both sides do the same fine job of cooking, freezing and storing food. The difference in appearance between dull and shiny is due to the foil manufacturing process. In the final rolling step, two layers of foil are passed through the rolling mill at the same time. The side coming in contact with the mill's highly polished steel rollers becomes shiny. The other side, not coming in contact with the heavy rollers, comes out with a dull or matte finish....See MoreFoil Wrap.............
Comments (9)For oven cooking, I do not think it makes a difference. In the oven, heat is transfered to the contents of the foil by three processes: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Of these, conduction and convection will be little affected by shiny side versus dull side. Radiant heating may be reduced if the shiny side is on the outside. Bright, shiny metal reflects infrared waves better than dull surfaces. Radiant heat transfer increases by the 4th power of the absolute temperature. Therefore, it may be small at low oven temperature but increases rapidly with increases in oven temperature. For example, at 200 F (660 R), it is small but at 400 F (860 R), it is becoming a major player. Heat transfered by radiation at 860 R is 2.88 times the amount transfered at 660 R....See MoreBahamaDan Zone 12b Subtropics
