Aluminium is used to wrap food because 1. It has high malleblity ie can be drawn into sheets,2. Metal so can conduct heat which will help the food to be hot for a longer time,3. Cost efficient as it is one of the metals that are largely found on earths crust

∙ 12y agoa longer way to say aluminium is aluminium foil the reason why we use it for packaging is because if there is spilt liquid the foil will stop the liquid from getting inside the aluminium foil we also use it for baking so whatever is inside the baking tray and under the foil will not get burned badly

∙ 9y ago1. It is flexible and strong also durable and does not make the food rust if there is water. 2. Aluminium can be converted into thin sheets ( because it is malleable) which can be folded into any shape. 3. Then it is readily available in affordable cost. 4. It is a metal thus it is a good conductor of heat, so it keep as the food hotter for a longer time. 5. It prevents germs to enter the food.

What keeps food hotter plastic or aluminium foil?
I would have to say that plastic wrap is better at keeping food fresh because it is more of an air tight seal. where as aluminum foil is better at keeping food warm because it reflects heat.hope this helps
Can we use aluminium in microwave?
No, that would not be a good idea, Aluminum foil will spark in a microwave.
Why do you use aluminium foils in calorimeter?
To make sure whatever you wrap is good enough.
Does foil or saran wrap work better for dying hair?
foil thats what most people i know use. their hair looks great! :)
What can you do with aluminum foil?
Covering things like left overs for dinner or really any meal. (Actually, real tin foil is NOT very good for that since it's reactive enough to impart a metallic taste to acidic foods; aluminum foil, which is sometimes CALLED "tin foil," is much better.)
Should you wrap steaks with foil or saran wrap to freeze?
Between Saran Wrap and foil, I would choose foil. But the best thing to use are freezer bags.

IS ALUMINUM FOIL UNHEALTHY?
Yes aluminum foil does have severe health risks due to the problem of aluminum leaching into food. Aluminum is classified in all countries as a poison. The body is unable to digest aluminum and so therefore it accumulates in the liver, kidneys, bones and brain tissues. As it accumulates people can to experience abdominal pain and tiredness. If it accumulates to a significant amount it can cause death. diseases caused by aluminium leaching include: Abdominal Pain Alzheimers Anxiety Anemia Asthma Bone disease Memory loss Kidney Failure increased risk of infections etc A significant amount of aluminium has been found in the brain tissues of patients suffering from Alzheimer diseases which has come from food wrapped in aluminium foil or cooked in aluminium pots. Aluminium is highly reactive metal and it reacts with the food processed in aluminium utensils or wrapped in aluminium foil. When we wrap food in aluminium foil it leaches out and make it harmful for our health. The more and longer the food is heated the more aluminium will leach in to the food. It is more reactive to the acidic food. It is easily absorbed by the acidic food. So it is not recommended to make food in aluminium pots and wrap in aluminium foil. Also if you use a iron or stainless steel pan under the food then wrap foil over the top this will increase the rate at which aluminum leaches due to electrolytic action and again especially if the food is acidic. Wrapping cold food in aluminum foil is far less of a problem. But never wrap acidic food in aluminum foil. never wrap acidic foods like tomatoes in aluminum foil. Aluminum leaching in beverage cans is also a problem as most beverages are highly acidic, and the longer the beverage is if the can the more aluminum is leached. Also beware of aluminum in toothpastes. It is therefore safer to avoid aluminium foil and use alternative wrappings. Aluminum is also a finite resource that takes a lot of energy to produce and aluminum foil is going into the waste dumps where acids form and it is then leached into the water systems and rivers and the sea. You can try an experiment. Place some vinegar or lemon juice in a small stainless steel container. Add vinegar wrap top with aluminum foil so that the foil touches the vinegar in the middle. Leave overnight. And you will see the next day that the aluminum is being eaten away by the acid.

Is it safe to use aluminium foil while browning in convection mode?
i would assume yes but only if you are only using the oven portion and if the oven has a separate heating process from the microwave. do not use aluminum foil while microwaving, it doesnt work to well.
