Aluminum foil is an incredibly versatile cooking product. It can take the heat of almost any kind of cooking (stove, oven, grill, firepit), it can be formed into any shape needed, it can handle a bit of steam pressure when folded properly, it's lightweight, it's affordable, and it can be recycled.
It is not actually Aluminium but an alloy of Aluminium[90%] and other metals[10%] that stop Aluminium from "rusting/oxidising" and exploding on contact with water and heat. Aluminium is lightweight, very malleable[so you can bend it], cheap compared with other metals, recyclable and easily drawn into thin sheets.

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.
