Aluminum foil paper is a common item used by many people in daily life. Most people’s most impressive use should be to pack ingredients when barbecue, and it will also be used when baking bread or other foods in the oven. But in fact, it is not only the ingredients for baking stuff, but also some other functions of aluminum foil paper. Japanese media "grapee" visited Dongyang Aluminum Echo Products Co., Ltd. to introduce the skills of using aluminum foil, pointing out that since aluminum foil has multiple characteristics such as absolute, moisture-proof, and air moisture barrier, there are actually many wonderful uses for aluminum foil paper that we did not expect.

6 wonderful uses of aluminum foil paper

1. "Ice Block" function

The weather is hot in summer, and I want to bring some food when going out but I am afraid of losing it. If a cold bag is available, you can put the food in the cold bag, but some cold bags are not that effective.

You can take a clean towel in advance and roll it into a long tube, wrap it in aluminium foil paper, and put it in the cold storage. Use it as an ice box when you go out and place it next to the cold-keeping bag of food to make the food cooler better.

2. "Temperature reduction" function

Aluminum foil has moisture-proof function, which can keep moisture in the towel for a long time and is not easy to dry. Therefore, when the food is finished, the towels rolled in the aluminium foil can also be taken out for use with a handkerchief.

It's really hot outside in summer. If there is an ice towel to wipe your hands and feet, it will instantly reduce the temperature of your body.

3. "Fresh Box" function

Aluminum foil can block gas and moisture. If you want to bring fresh ingredients to your home outside, you can wrap it in aluminum foil paper to prevent the dispersion of gas and water, and it has a bit of aluminum foil.

4. "Odor-proof" function

Aluminum foil has high absolute properties. Some foods have a more intense smell. They can be blocked by wrapping them with aluminum foil paper.

Or many people think that when the refrigerator is opened, there will always be a miserable smell. It is often because the refrigerator contains some foods with heavy taste, such as fresh ingredients and special smelling fruits and vegetables. Therefore, when you need to ice the fish, you can wrap it in aluminium foil and then put it in for refrigeration. This can prevent the smell of ingredients in the refrigerator from moving to other foods, so that the fishy smell of fish will not be heard as soon as the refrigerator is opened.

5. "Insulation" function

We often find that the juice and oil of the food in the refrigerator leak, making the refrigerator partition layer very dirty, and it will become dirt if it is not clear for a long time.

Some people will wear kitchen paper towels on the partition, but the paper towel is still easily broken after several times, and will also penetrate it. It is recommended to modify the aluminum foil paper to prevent penetration and dilute the refrigerator partition.

6. Accelerating the cooling foil

Aluminum foil also has a higher heat conductivity, which can speed up the cooling foil. Using aluminium foil paper to preserve the ingredients to be refrigerated can speed up the speed of refrigeration and unblocking, and can also effectively prevent the ingredients from being damaged by refrigerated burns. Cold-frying is the phenomenon in which the surface of food preserved by cold-frying changes color or quality changes due to drying.

Note when using aluminum foil paper. Acid substances will invade

Finally, I would like to remind you that although aluminum foil paper has many functions, it cannot achieve a completely closed effect. It has no adhesion and cannot fully adhere to the surface, so you should still pay attention to the problem of microbial growth. In addition, people most often use it to bake or heat the ingredients. The Food and Drug Administration reminds that if you use aluminium foil paper to cook the ingredients, it is recommended to add acidic flavoring ingredients, such as vinegar, lemon, tomato sauce, etc. If used simultaneously, acidic substances may invade the aluminium foil paper.
