As humans, we tend to eat things. And when we eat, we use silverware. Silverware changes color over time and requires a little more than a simple wash for correct upkeep. Yes, we’re talking about the dreaded act of silverware polishing. While silverware polish exists, it requires a trip to the store, a toll on your wallet and frankly, it smells funny.
If you don’t already have some silverware polish lying around, simply grab a dish, wrap it with aluminum, pour in some baking soda and salt and you’ve got a makeshift silverware polisher. Dump all of your dirty silverware into the dish, cover them with some boiling water, and you’ll see them gradually getting their original good-looking shine back.
Reattach Floor Tiles With An Iron and Aluminum Foil
Is one of your floor tiles loose again? There’s no need to run to the store and replace it. We’ve all had the experience of stepping on the floor in our bathroom, only to hear a sudden “crack” sound telling us that a floor tile is now on the loose. There’s actually a really easy way to solve this problem.
All you have to do is to stick the tile back to its normal position, then take a sheet of aluminum foil and place it on the tile so that it is completely covered. Now just bring out your trusty iron and go over the tile as-if you’re ironing a piece of cloth. Do this for a few moments and the heat will get that tile fixed right into the floor. Neat, huh?
And Now It’s Time to Clean the BBQ
Now that you've finished your legendary BBQ, it's time to clean up the grill. This is by far the least favorite part of having a BBQ since it means you're going to have to clean all of that oil and grease from your BBQ - a dirty and daunting task.
Expedite this process and make it a lot more fun and simple by using aluminum foil. Place the grill in some soup and water scrub the grease away with the foil. Watch how the remaining BBQ scraps immediately disappear from your grill. Simple, effective, fun, and cheap. That is the magic of cleaning things with aluminum foil.
Professional Bacon Roasting
Bacon is one of the most delicious breakfast foods in the entire world. It's simple to make, fairly cheap, and tastier than most other meats due to its high percentages of fat. Anyone who has ever professionally cooked bacon will tell you that one of the best ways to do it is on a rigged and curvy surface.
The ridges help your bacon slices stay elevated, giving them hot air from all sides and getting them cooked and crispy the whole way through. But if you don't have a rack with ridges on it you can always take some aluminum foil and style it in the same way. Now that's some restaurant-level cooking!
Create A DIY Food Platter
Many of us love to host. Sometimes we really want to serve our guests some cute little finger foods but find that we currently don't have any proper food platters to use for such a purpose. Maybe our favorite serving dish is dirty at the time or maybe we don’t actually have one for this kind of event - but no worries, the Aluminum foil will do just as well!
One possible solution is to take a cardboard box and some aluminum foil, and simply cover the entire cardboard box with the Aluminum foil. This will create a clean, good-looking, and very special serving platter for you and your guests. We're sure they would be thrilled that you've thought of them enough to craft your own platter just for them.
