My contribution: Next time you are at COSTCO (or similar) buy this:

The small sheets (12" x 10 3/4") are good for about 75% of my foil needs, they are handy, little waste and less expensive.

I line the paint roller pan with foil. Makes cleanup a lot easier.

The funnel suggestion from the article isn’t bad either, at least in a pinch.

Write the cost on the box as well as an informal inflation check.

Form foil in the shape of an X and place next to your screen. It will move posts like this to General/Chat :)

But it will also post a Youtube video of some arbitrary old pop/rock song to the main thread.

It can be used for proton dosimetry if the protons are over 30 MeV. Expose the foil to the proton beam, then put it in a HPGe scintillator and look for Na24 gamma photons. Determine the amount of Na24 that was created at exposure time, and using the cross section, calculate how many protons hit the foil. This method avoids the obvious problems using CaF2:Mn as it’s not sensitive to beam photons.

Line a pot with foil and make oatmeal.

<>Put the expended foil liner in the recycle bin.

You will earn "water conservation" credits from Jerry Brown.

You will also get a bonus participation certificate from Gavin Newsom.

Remember this trick if you are dry-camping and do not want to spend time and water cleaning up the dishes.

No pan frozen pizza:
cut out the inside of a piece of foil so it’s an annulus covering the edges that drip.

IE: cut a hole in foil so the inside of the pizza isn’t still soggy when the edge is done, and there aren’t drips on your oven.

I was going to paste the same thing. Back in my college days we used foil to unscramble certain cable channels that were you had to “pay extra” for. Educational purposes only.

Aluminum bubble wrap is used for insulation.. We hang it on the inside of the sliding glass doors in summer.

Aluminum foil? What’s that? Bed Rock Kroger doesn’t have the stuff.

It does like a good way to make a Bed Rock Dino Burger.
