I would have to say aluminum foil, since radiation can travel through glass. radiation is reflected from the surface of aluminum foil. With a mirror the radiation has to travel through a small layer of glass twice before the mirror is finished with it. Glass is not totally transparent, some light is absorbed so the naked aluminum reflects better.
No, cotton is not a better insulator than aluminum foil and tissue paper. Aluminum foil is a good insulator as it reflects heat, while tissue paper acts as a thermal barrier. Cotton, on the other hand, is not as effective of an insulator because it does not have the same reflective or thermal barrier properties.
cows use more tin foil than plastic bags.
A freshly cut surface on uranium is silvery white and quite reflective, but in air uranium oxidizes very rapidly and in minutes this surface will become tarnished with a black uranium oxide coating.
Cooking with tin foil doesnt take less or more time .It is a different way of cooking altogather .When the food is in a oven wrapped in tin foil say its fish it is getting more steamed then baked.If it was not rapped the fish would be being baked and not steamed like in the foil .
Someone can buy reflective foil insulation from a number of companies such as Amazon. Amazon has a large selection of reflective foil insulation from various manufacturers.
Well tin foil is reflective and also is a mirror or the back of a c.d.

Aluminium foil reflects more heat than white cardboard.
Aluminium foil is reflective and as a result heat and light that hits it is bounced back to where it came from. tinfoil
It is very malleable, doesn't corrode, and has certain desirable reflective qualities.
The aluminum foil is smoother.

Jewellery, electrical contacts, corrosion resistant coating, reflective foil.
I have done both. When I left the white paper on the inside of the foil I found that the white and foil liners sometimes separate after baking and don't look as nice for presentation. (It might have just been the brand I used.) I have taken the white ones out and used the foil baking cups by themselves and they work great. Just keep in mind cakes bake more quickly in foil liners. I then use the white ones for baking other things.

Anything white, shiny, reflective... A mirror would probably be the most reflective.
