Have you ever wondered how aluminum foil keeps food warm? In fact, the foil reflects thermal energy back to the food. This helps maintain the aroma, moisture and flavor of your cooked dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aluminum foil keeps food warm, but if the aluminum foil comes into direct contact with the product, thermal energy will travel through the aluminum foil and could escape. However, if it is placed a little further away from the food, it can properly reflect thermal energy and thus preserve its freshness. Therefore, it is advisable to pre-wrap them with a few layers of parchment paper to create air pockets, before wrapping the aluminum foil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, keep in mind that aluminum is a poor insulator. Also, to make it more efficient, place it in fiberglass or ceramic boxes. This keeps food warmer for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acting as an air barrier that can transfer heat to cold or frozen foods, aluminum foil helps maintain the temperature of food, whether hot or cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But also to remove rust, make silverware shine, eliminate static electricity in clothes, facilitate hair coloring or permanent nail manicure… and the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it will also be very useful in your pantry. Especially to protect the jars where you keep the rice and flour. By putting some aluminum balls inside these containers, you prolong their life. As you probably know, these ingredients often fall victim to the invasion of certain pests, such as flies, ants, moths or even silverfish. These little beasts love to roam around the kitchen cupboards where you keep flour, pasta, rice, cereal or chocolate. These insects multiply rapidly and are not hygienic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get rid of it, the use of aluminum foil is very appropriate. Their shiny appearance repels them immediately. Thanks to the trick of the balls, rice or flour can be preserved for at least six months. Under these conditions, make sure that the famous meal flies or other pests will no longer appear in the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
