Alumíniumfóliát

Alumíniumfóliát, commonly known as aluminum foil, is a household staple used for a variety of purposes in the kitchen and beyond. It is a thin sheet of aluminum metal, typically less than 0.2 millimeters thick, produced by rolling aluminum through a series of passes.

Its primary applications in the kitchen include wrapping food for storage, cooking, and grilling. The foil acts as a barrier, preventing the passage of light, oxygen, and moisture, which helps to preserve food freshness and prevent spoilage. When cooking, aluminum foil can be used to cover dishes, preventing them from drying out, or to create packets for steaming or baking food directly on a grill or in an oven. Its malleability allows it to be easily shaped around food items.

Beyond culinary uses, aluminum foil finds application in various other areas. It is sometimes used for crafting or as a reflective surface in certain DIY projects. In industrial settings, it serves as a protective layer in packaging for electronics, pharmaceuticals, and even in insulation materials due to its reflective properties. Recycling aluminum foil is also important, as aluminum is a highly recyclable material.
