aluminium is a good conductor of heat, but still it is used so that food remains warm. what is the reason behind it?
Manis said:Aluminium foil has smooth shiny surface. Due to which it reflects back the heat raditations emitted by the food stuffs upon them. Hence food remainr warm for longer time.
Also i think in this case, reflection through its surface is very higher than conductance.
Aluminium foil is popular for wrapping food items because it is a lightweight, durable, and flexible material that can easily conform to the shape of the food. It also has the ability to withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for use in cooking and storing food.
Yes, aluminium foil is safe for food contact. It is non-toxic and does not release any harmful chemicals when in contact with food. However, it is important to avoid using aluminium foil for cooking acidic or salty foods, as these can cause the metal to leach into the food.
Using aluminium foil for wrapping food items helps to keep the food fresh and prevents it from drying out. It also helps to protect the food from light, moisture, and bacteria. Additionally, aluminium foil is a cost-effective option for food storage and can be easily recycled.
Yes, aluminium foil can be used for both hot and cold food items. It is a good insulator and can help to keep hot food hot and cold food cold. However, make sure to use a thicker foil for hot food items to avoid any potential melting or burning.
To properly wrap food items with aluminium foil, make sure to cover the entire surface of the food to prevent any air from getting in. Fold the edges of the foil tightly to create a seal. If storing in the refrigerator, make sure to label the foil with the date and contents for easy identification.
