Bar-b-que on what side of aluminum foil?
If you are baking something wrapped in foil, you should probably have the dull side of the foil out. The dull side reflects heat a bit less than the shiny side. This means that cooking with the shiny side out would make your food cook more slowly.
Which side to use tin foil to bake?
An alternative to using tinfoil when baking is cooking parchment or a glass cover (make sure it is oven safe). The tin foil is solely there to block some of the heat from escaping.
Why is aluminum foil shiny on one side but not the other?
because as the foil goes through rollers when it is made the side that is against the rollers gets shiny and the side that's against the other foil becomes matte
What side of foil is supposed to have food on the shiny side or dull side?
the right side
Why is tin foil attracted to a negatively charged surface?
When a negatively charged surface approaches a piece of foil, electrons in the foil move to the far side, as they are repelled by the negative charge. This means that the side near the charged surface is positively charged while the far side is negatively charged. Since the electrical force decreases with increasing distance, the attraction experience by the positive near side of the foil will be slightly stronger than the repulsive force of the negative far side. As a result, the foil will experience a net attraction to the charged surface.
Is the shiny side of aluminum foil suppose to be on the outside of wrap for heat?
Technically, there is no inside or outside to foil, but, one would suppose that the shiny side of the foil would actually be the INSIDE, because the shiny side would reflect the heat waves, such as a mirror reflects light better on a shiny surface.I use the shiny side to cover pie crusts when I don't want them to burn because it reflects the heat away from the covered area. When I'm roasting or baking I put the dull side out because it helps the food absorb more heat and cook quicker-but only a little bit. another questin you should think about is what makes aluminum foilAnother point of viewThe folks at Alcoa (the Aluminum Company of America) will tell you that it doesn't make a difference which side is in or out when using foil - unless you are interested in looking at yourself in it. Infrared radiation - heat! - works equally the same with either side. (You can't see infrared directly.) Oh, and the "amount" of visible light (light above infrared) that is reflected by both sides is almost identical, too. It's just that the "dull" side scatters it more than the "shiny" side, which has a smoother surface and acts more like a mirror. If you have a preference, by all means continue. But not because physics dictates it. It does not.
Is there chromium in foil?
Not in aluminum foil. Aluminum foil is all aluminum. Large pieces of refined aluminum (blocks weighing over a thousand pounds) are rolled and rolled until a sheet of foil a fraction of an inch thick results. Some 50 miles of foil are rolled onto a spool at the end of the line. And two sheets are rolled out at the same time, one pressed to the other. That's why aluminum foil has a shiny side and a dull side. The dull sides are the "inside" where the two sheets are pressed together in the manufacturing process. If you have a chance to see the process, go look. If you want a virtual tour, use the link and watch the video on how foil is made. It's really cool!

What is the process for grilling tilapia?
- Clean grill and spray with non-stick spray. - Start heating the grill. - Wash the tilapia in clean water. - scrape the scales off the fish. - With a sharp knife, slit the side of the fish from the vent to the gills. - Remove the entails with your fingers. - Wash the fish again in clean water. - Pat fish dry using paper towels. - Season with salt and pepper. - Wrap fish in tin foil and place in the center of the grill. - Cook 4 to 6 minutes on each side. - Remove from grill, open foil and check for doneness. (Return to grill for a few more minutes if needed.) Tips: - Avoid flipping fish repeatedly as this may cause the fish to break apart. - You can also marinate the fish overnight to improve its flavor. - Using other seasonings will help this mild flavored fish more tasty.
The shiny side of aluminum foil is placed towards your food to prevent heat loss due to?
There is no discernible heat retention difference between the shiny or the dull side of aluminum foil. The shiny side is shiny because of the way foil is made. During the last pass through the rolling mill, a double thickness of foil is run between the rollers. The side of each sheet that comes in contact with the polished steel rollers comes out shiny. The other side has a matte finish.
