Aluminum foil isn’t just for wrapping your leftovers!
It has lots of uses that no one knows about.
And many are not related to cooking. The tips with aluminum foil are amazing.
Some even talk about the benefits of aluminum foil.
Maybe you’ve heard of people using it to wrap their feet in aluminum foil?
For what ? Because it is said to have anti-inflammatory properties.
After discovering all these uses, you will no longer look at your aluminum foil the same way!
Here are 19 uses for aluminum foil that everyone should know. Look :
1. Keeps your pans clean:
Aluminum foil is perfect for keeping pots and your oven clean. Simply place a layer of aluminum foil in your dish to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Wondering how to protect the oven from splashes?
To prevent the juicy meat from splashing, place aluminum foil on the dish. Also place a layer on the bottom rack of the oven to catch the grease.
This is the simplest solution to avoid splashing!
2. Makes your silverware shine:
Place aluminum foil in the bottom of a saucepan and fill it with cold water. Add about 2 teaspoons of salt and place your silverware in the solution. After 2 to 3 minutes, rinse and dry.
3. Extends the life of steel wool:
I love using steel wool to shine my pans, but I have the impression that it rusts very quickly. Worse still, rust also tends to stain around the sink…
After using your scraper, place it on a slightly crumpled piece of aluminum. This will extend its lifespan and prevent rust from developing.
4. Cleans Your Pans:
Note that you can use aluminum foil to clean the pans. Just scrunch it up and scrape with it. Easy, right?
5. Protects your sofa from cats and dogs:
Do you want to encourage your pets to avoid certain areas of the house? If your pet has taken up residence on a sofa or armchair that you love, cover the seat with aluminum foil for a few days.
The noise from aluminum irritates cats and dogs and makes them run away. Also wrap the legs of your chairs to discourage the cat from scratching or teething on them.
It’s great protection that doesn’t cost much!

Here’s a great laundry tip. Instead of using expensive drying sails, use aluminum foil.
Make a ball of foil and throw it in the dryer. Your clothes will come out static-free. Practical, right?
7. Allows you to iron twice as fast:
Place a piece of aluminum foil under your ironing board cover. When you press the iron on the garment, the heat will be reflected by the aluminum on the other side.
This is particularly effective with pants and shirt sleeves, because it allows you to iron both sides in one go! Saving time and energy.
8. Sharpens the scissors:
Fold a piece of foil several times until it is 6 or 8 layers thick. Cut this folded aluminum sheet with your scissors to sharpen them.
9. Protects door handles from paint:
When painting, protect door handles or hinges from splashing. It’s much easier to remove than tape and it doesn’t leave a mark!
