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.
Polish Your Silverware With Aluminum Foil
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.
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 Disposable Frying Pan
Let's say you're out with your friends on an impromptu night of camping. You guys have everything assembled and ready. The tents are hitched, the fire is roaring, the campfire songs are being sung… pretty soon you begin to get hungry, but oh no! You've forgotten your frying pan at home and nobody else has one!
Luckily for you, after reading this article you've decided to carry aluminum foil with you wherever you go. Now all you have to do in order to save the day for everyone is to take a few branches, stick them together in a large square, and tape aluminum foil across them as a bowl-like surface. Congratulations! You have just created your very own DIY frying pan.
Boost Seed Growth With Aluminum
Like most tiny growing things, baby seedlings need all the help they can get to turn into big adult plants. If you want to help your seeds grow faster into healthy plants, you can give them a serious boost by using some aluminum foil. When planting your seeds, create tiny aluminum foil planters to cover and place your seeds in, in order to give them some extra sunlight.
This will help your seeds grow faster and blossom into the great plants that they are meant to be. We highly recommend this habit if you have a green thumb and are going to be planting seeds because these little guys need the sun as much as we need water.
