Even if your idea of cooking falls well short of professional, you still probably use aluminum foil fairly regularly. As a fantastic insulator, this handy item is essential to any kitchen supply cabinet.
Nevertheless, aluminum foil has a whole ton of other uses that most people are tragically unaware of. The next time you buy a roll for your culinary endeavors, grab a second one; as you’ll see, it can make your life much easier!
Here are 15 clever uses for aluminum foil that will make your life outside of the kitchen super simple. You’ll never look at tin foil the same way again!
Best joke in the history of the show. Assume Fox viewing positions!
will that work on a radio?
Ummm...I beg to differ, aluminum is one of the best and the one used in high-voltage, long distance electrical lines due to the low cost and light weight of aluminum.
I use a version of this when roasting chicken breasts with a rub that will burn. After lining the pan with foil, I twist a foil rope, make it into a coil and place the breasts on top. The rub, BTW (actually more of a sprinkle), is 1-2 TBS of brown sugar mixed with 1-3 tsps of dry Italian dressing mix. Adjust to taste. roast/bake as usual. Throw away liner and coil...no messy. burnt residue to clean.
Oh, I also use foil to make a spatter shield around the pot when reducing a sauce, like spaghetti sauce that cooks for a few hours. Just take a length of foil or 2, crease and tear into 2” wide strips. crimp over the pot edge, joining as needed and make sure it will withstand the frequent stirrings. Again, discard after use. Spatter is reduced considerably. Same principle to prevent a pie crust edge from overbaking....crease the 2” length of foil and place over crust edge after 15 minutes.
Bkmrk.
It also makes a nice shim for precision alignment, given its fairly precise .001” thickness. Also, it can be used to tell when a milling cutter is within .001” of the workpiece edge.
This is considered News ??????????

When the Norks launch, some folks will need these hacks.
Sadly, the kids today have eschewed the wisdom of their elders.
Best post of the thread. Thank you.
“thermal maybe - electrical not so much”
Check your data.
Aluminum is #4 behind silver, copper and gold. No other metals are even close to those four.
Wrapped snugly around my head, prevents people from reading my mind!
When a fuse blows, simply wrap some foil around it. Works great!
This one weird trick measures protons! Click here for this amazing life hack!
He puts the foil in a proton beam...click here to see what happens next!
Im not sure I would want to attempt such vigorous activity in that suit. Buddy Ebsen claimed that the original suit was made of stovepipe. He claimed to have nearly castrated himself, in the period pre aluminium powder fiasco, by attempting a dance step to show his range of motion for the director.
For tuning, you need a variable capacitor made with multiple plates of aluminum separated by air gaps. Same principal though. I’ve also glued aluminum foil down to a printed circuit board as a quick repair.
Nice! Keep going!
