Today's dumb cooking question

On a similar theme to the greaseproof paper question - which side of the tin foil should you put closest to the food - the shiny side or the dull side?

Never noticed it was different

Then again I've never used it, just seen it wrapped around meat in the kitchen

Re: Today's dumb cooking question

I have always put the dull side to the food, but I'm not sure if it's right or not..

Re: Today's dumb cooking question

actually, thinking about it, i only use tim foil to bake spuds and the shiniest bit is always on the outside.....but i think thats only cos thats how it comes off the roll......

unroll some on your surface, put your food on and then cut to fit....... makes sense!

I always line my grill tray with tin foil - makes it easier to clean, and I put it shiny side up as I thought it reflected the heat better.

Depends wow you want to cook it - shiny side reflects heat dull side absorbs heat.

Shiny side up when it lines the grill pan but dull side to the food when wrapping.

Although this practice is probably widespread I was told years ago never to do it. Can't remember exactly why, maybe a fire risk or something, but it must have stuck 'cos I never do!!

I'd never make any money - I'd be too busy telling my customers they needed to be at school or work or somewhere else!
