Foil has many uses, and here are some:
1. Instead of wire that rubs the pots, make a ball with already used aluminum foil and rub pots, pans, etc.
2. To make ironing faster and more economical, put foil under the ironing felt. When ironing without foil, some of the heat is absorbed by the ironing board and so you are forced to do the same movement several times, until the ironing is done correctly. Foil reflects heat, so ironing is faster. Among other things, this way, energy savings are made.
3. If the iron 'sticks' and does not slip on the garment we are ironing, pass it over foil.
4. To soften the brown sugar. Wrap the sugar in foil and heat in the oven
5. In cooking, when we make tarts or pizzas, we cover the edges so that they do not burn
6. To keep the oven clean. Put foil on the grill (not on the oven floor) and top the food you are making. So when food is spilled they will not soil the oven
7. To drive birds out of your trees. Cut aluminum foil into strips and fasten to branches, letting them fluctuate. Reflection and noise will drive the birds away.
8. Did your silver spoons lose their shine? Do not worry, because there is a way to correct the evil that found you:
- Wrap the teaspoons in foil.
- Put them in a pot
- Cover with water
- Add coarse salt
- Boil for 5 minutes
- When the water becomes lukewarm, take the teaspoons out of both the pot and the foil and rinse them with water…. Your teaspoons will glow while the foil will have turned black! Br />
9. In order not to melt and puree the green soap. The green soap, when we start using it and touching it in the sink, begins to melt and fill the place. But if we touch it over aluminum foil…. we saved it…
10. To transfer furniture on carpet. Moving furniture if there is carpet on the floor is not an easy task, because the furniture does not slip as easily as on a bare floor. Putting foil on the legs of the furniture, they will slide more easily.
11. Foil balls in the tumble dryer.
12. Your scissors have stopped "performing" and you are ready to buy a new one? Or of course not, since you will sharpen it inexpensively and make it cut perfectly.
Take a piece of foil and fold it in 4. With your scissors, start cutting thin long narrow slices from the folded foil… ..and the scissors are ready!
13. To polish chrome objects or surfaces
14. To clean the grill in the oven or grill
15. Insert foil into the router antenna to "extend" the wireless network
