How Thick is Kitchen Foil

Aluminum kitchen foil is one of the most practical cooking tools in the kitchen. It can not only collect heat, but also allow food to absorb heat more quickly, greatly shortening the time required for cooking. At the same time, it can also keep food hot, so in real life it is a very useful helper.

The thickness of normal food aluminum foil on the market is about 10 microns to 20 microns.

In barbecue, we often wrap the baking tray or the entire food with this kind of aluminum foil. The former is for cleaning, so that the cooking utensils will not be contaminated by grease or other substances in the food. The latter is fore heating the food more evenly and reducing the situation where some parts are burned and some are not completely heated.

In the refrigerator or freezer, aluminum foil can be wrapped directly on the food to prevent the food from deforming, prevent the loss of water in fish, vegetables, fruits, and dishes, and prevent the leakage or mixing of flavors. Since aluminum foil has good and uniform thermal conductivity and heating effect, it can be used in ovens, steamers, etc. to heat directly on the original packaging.

When using aluminum foil, wrap food with a glossy surface. The matte surface facing the heat source can indeed speed up cooking. However, the reflectivity of the matte surface is 80%, while the glossy surface is 88%. There is only a little difference between the two. In daily life, there is not much difference.
