which side of aluminum foil goes up

by Weldon Homenick Published 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago

Aluminum Foil: Should the Shiny Side be Up or Down When Cooking? Since aluminum foil has a shiny side and a dull side, many cooking resources say that when cooking foods wrapped or covered with aluminum foil, the shiny side should be down, facing the food, and the dull side up. Click to see full answer.

Most people think it matters whether aluminum foil is used shiny side up or down, but the surprising truth is that it doesn't make a difference. The variation is a result of the manufacturing process—the shiny side comes in contact with highly polished steel rollers, and the matte side doesn't.

Full Answer

Is there a right and wrong side of aluminum foil?

There is no right or wrong side to aluminium foil. The variation is due to how aluminium foil is manufactured. The side that has contact with the rollers is shiny. The side that does not have contact with the rollers is dull. So, it does not matter. They are both essentially the same.

Which side of aluminum foil should face out?

Which Side of Aluminum Foil Should Face Out. When discussing the uses of aluminum foil, the question of which side is up will be raised. If you’re going to use it to store heat, the shiny side must face the sun. For other uses, it doesn’t matter which side is up. The key to grilling is to keep the heat in place.

What can be used in place of aluminum foil?

  • tomatoes
  • tomato juice/marinade
  • fruits
  • fruit juices
  • vinegar/vinegar-based marinade

Should aluminum foil be used shiny side up or down?

Since aluminum foil has a shiny side and a dull side, many cooking resources say that when cooking foods wrapped or covered with aluminum foil, the shiny side should be down, facing the food, and the dull side up. This is because the shiny side is more reflective and so will reflect more of the radiant heat than the duller side. Is this true?

Which side of the foil are you supposed to use?

Aluminium foil is a useful kitchen product when it comes to heating, storing and freezing food. Potatoes can be baked in it, fish can be cooked en papillote and leftover food can be frozen in it.

Why does aluminium foil have a shiny side and a matt side?

The Aluminum Association explains that the shiny side is produced when two sheets are rolled at the same time, (doubling the thickness of the roll) and which are later separated, meaning the two inside surfaces remain matt, while the two outside surfaces remain shiny.

Recipes where aluminium is used

Aluminium foil can be a versatile tool in the hands of a chef willing to explore its potential applications in the kitchen. In this recipe for beef rolls, for instance, the recipe gives options for frying, baking, or even boiling (!) the rolls in water after they’ve been wrapped in the foil.
