Should you wrap a plotato in foil?
only when baking
Which metal might we wrap in a baked potato?
Aluminum (foil)
Do you cook a baked potato in aluminum foil?
If baking in an oven, the foil can be used or not. If baking on a camp fire of fire place I say use the foil as it is in direct contact with the heat source. Or you may just rinse the sweet potato and bake in in the microwave after poking a few holes in it with a fork.
Which metal could you wrap a baked potato in off the periodic table?
Aluminium (foil)
How long a baked potato be cooked?
Around 3 hours, if you wrap it in foil first.
What is better foil or saran wrap?
It depends on what you're doing with it. Foil is better for baking & cooking with and to store some things in the frige. Saran wrap is good for storing things.
What temperature is a baked potato done at?
just take the potato and see if it is soft, if it is, then wrap in tin foil and let it stand for about 5 mins enjoy your potato
Do you wrap a cooked potato in foil or cling film?
foil because then it will keep it warm and cling film will make it wet because of the condensation.
Can you wrap foil on the outside of a baking tin because the tin is leaking cake out?
You can wrap the pan with foil, but I would get the foil as tight as possible by crimping it around the sides as much as possible. If it is leaking severely I would suggest getting a new pan.
Can you put a springform pan in a baking pan with water when baking?
Yes, if you wrap the outside of the stringform pan with double layer of heavy duty foil.
Can you cook a jacket potato in the oven without foil?
Yes you can cook a potato in the microwave... but do not wrap it in foil!!!! wash the potato and poke it a few times with a fork and then wrap in a paper towel. depending on the size of the potato is long you need to cook it.
Is aluminum foil a better insulator alone or with bubble wrap?
Aluminum foil is a conductor. It really only insulates against radiative heat transfer by reflecting visible light rays or infrared heat rays. When wrapped around an object, pockets of air can act as insulation, but in this case it's the air that's doing the insulating-- not the foil. To answer the question, "it depends." Let's say you have a baked potato that you want to keep warm. First wrap in in foil so that the radiation coming off the potato is reflected back into the potato. Then wrap the potato in bubble wrap with the bubbles facing inward. This will trap any hot air that might surround the potato, preventing conductive and convective heat transfer. On the other hand, if you have a cold can of soda, and it's out in the sunlight, you'll want to first wrap the can in bubblewrap (bubbles facing the can) to trap the cool air and wrap foil around that to reflect any light rays. If the can is in a dark space, such as a lunch box or cooler, the aluminum foil will play a very small role in insulating it. The bubble wrap should go around the can (bubbles facing inward). The aluminum foil won't hurt as long as the foil does not touch the can. If it touches the can, it will conduct heat from the surroundings into the cold can.
