Why does the paper get black when you grease aluminum baking pans?

Aluminum oxidizes when it is in contact with the air. The faint darkening is not usually noticeable, but when using paper towels or other paper to grease the pans, some oxidation from the aluminum rubs off onto the paper. The aluminum in baking pans also is reactive, which means it has a chemical reaction when exposed to acid (such as lemon or tomato juice), which can cause further discoloration as well as a metallic taste in the food.

Because the color black has no reflective properties, so the heat is absorbed. Note, however, that this applies to thermal absorption of heat from the sun.


Is cotton a better insulator than aluminium foil and tissue paper?

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.
