You can bake meat, make pies and store food in foil, but it turns out that thin aluminum sheets are suitable for other purposes.
Ironing delicate fabrics
Use foil to smooth natural or rayon silk and wool that cannot withstand high temperatures. Spread the foil on the ironing board, and then spread the crumpled clothes on it. Run the iron over the fabric several times while pressing the steam release button. This gentle method will help smooth out even the most severe wrinkles on delicate fabrics.
What can be made from foil
Clean the grill grate
Warmed up leaves prints on the steak? To prevent this from happening, before grilling meat again, place a sheet of foil on the wire rack and turn on the grill for 10 minutes. After that, the dirty foil can not be thrown away, but crumpled up and used for washing dishes (see point 6).
Improving TV signal
If the DVD player is placed under or above the TV, the picture on the screen may not be clear as the two electromagnetic regions can mix and create interference. (This usually happens if the case is made of plastic.) Place a sheet of foil between the TV and the player to make the signal clearer.
We use foil as masking tape
Due to the fact that aluminum foil fits perfectly around objects, it can be used as masking tape to protect door handles and other protruding parts when painting a room. It is not necessary to unscrew the switches and sockets to protect them from paint drops and incorrect strokes – you just need to wrap them in foil.
Protecting the edges of the cake from drying out
To prevent the edges of an open pie or pizza from drying out and burning, make a foil collar around the form before placing it in the oven. Fold a strip about 10 cm wide from the sheet and wrap the shape with it. Secure the edges of the foil with a paper clip. Fold the foil slightly so that it covers the edges of the cake. This will avoid dry rind and your baked goods will remain juicy even around the edges.
Wash glassware
Refractory glassware can be easily cleaned of burnt food debris with foil. To do this, it is not necessary to tear off a new sheet from the roll, “recyclable materials” will do (see point 2). Roll the small pieces of foil remaining after baking in the oven into a ball and use for washing dishes instead of a metallized washcloth. certainly not canceled.
