no. use big fibrous leaves

>>19571832
No, it will turn off the government mindcontrol waves. Do not use aluminum foil.

>>19571832
Fuck off robo bitch asking the same same question over three days/

>>19571881
You need TIN foil. This is the cheap modern version.

Honestly I never found anything that said it's safe. Which is weird because aluminum is toxic for the human body and that's why we don't have things like aluminum pants or aluminum knives. But for some reason aluminum foil is ok.

>But for some reason aluminum foil is ok.
do you even need to ask?

>>19571832
If I bake something you would normally wrap in foil, I like to wrap it in parchment paper first then foil.

>>19571832
Apparently you do get some aluminum contamination from the foil. But it's so little that your body will get rid of it before enough accumulated in your body to cause any real damage.
Apparently the real danger is inhaling aluminum vapors or letting it seep into your bloodstream. e.g. smoking weed in an aluminum can bowl or using antiperspirant that uses aluminum.

>aluminum knives
Aluminum would make a really shitty knife.

>>19571832
I can’t remember.

Of course not. Aluminum isn't heavy enough to block the radioactive material in chicken from decaying into the potatoes where they'll get trapped until you digest them. You need lead foil for that.

>>19571926
bro why would you wear aluminum pants?

>>19571926
>that's why we don't have things like aluminum pants

>>19571832
Only semi related. But I was just thinking that I would save a lot of money on foil if I got some pants that interlocked. Does such a thing exist? Bake safe pans with fitted lid that doesn't let the steam out?

>>19571961
The anti aluminum antiperspirant thing was proven to be false
Smoking weed out of aluminum idk about I did enough of that as a kid
I cook baked potatoes in coals in aluminum foil all the time and it's been a thing forever so it's pretty harmless

>>19571832
You should avoid cooking acidic ingredients in aluminum. Lower PH foods leach more aluminum into the food.

>>19571926
there is lots of aluminum cookware you nincompoop, most baking trays are aluminum

>>19573422
They're steel plated/coated

>>19573440
not always, that's usually frying pans that are plated

>>19571926
>that's why we don't have things like aluminum pants
but we do

>>19571832
Absolutely not. I worked under an executive chef who used it her whole life and after retiring she suddenly died in her late 90's despite being spry and sharp as a tack. That's clearly poison.

>>19573509
>I worked
i don't believe you

>>19573521
Well worked is past tense. I miss the chaos of a real kitchen. I don't miss the stress. Sometimes around when I should wake up in the morning I hear a fucking ticket machine jolting me out of bed long before my alarm clock goes off.

>>19573440
you have no understanding of metals and the plating of metals

>>19573566
By all means educate me
