Aluminum Foil

Aluminum foil is a thin aluminum sheets that can be used for a variety of cooking or other applications. One of the advantages of using aluminum foil is because it is reusable up to several times. Actually, aluminum foil can be recycled like aluminum cans can be melted and aluminum materials that can be reused to create various products ranging from pots, pans, etc.. But if the aluminum used beverage cans are much accommodated and recycling, aluminum foil is not recyclable because many were former use of the kitchen so it is more dirty, oily, etc. although the material can be processed. But the nature of the aluminum foil itself can be used multiple times, unlike the plastic wrap from the quicker disposal.
If you use aluminum foil to store or cook food, then you can wash it again with aluminum foil dish soap / detergent (But keep in mind to not use aluminum foil used to wrap raw meat). The point is, do not immediately discard the aluminum foil you use.
Some ideas to reuse aluminum foil:

2. Re-used to wrap or cover food. aluminum foil after you wash it with detergent and smooth with a body weight / your hand (be careful not to tear), then the aluminum foil can be reused as new. This can be continued many times.
3. As a food steamer lid. If you are going to food steamed with a rice cooker you can cover the bowl with aluminum foil.
4. Closing stove. When we cook and often splashed oil on the edges of the stove so dirty. You can close the edge of the stove with aluminum foil so that oil does not contaminate the outskirts of your stove and easy to clean.
5. Polishing cutlery. If your cutlery looking rather dull, aluminum can work as a catalyst to polish the cutlery. Prepare pan covered with aluminum foil. Fill with water and add 2 teaspoons of salt. Enter your flatware, wait between 2-4 minutes, then rinse and dry.
6. Sharpen scissors. All the rest of the aluminum foil can be used again to sharpen scissors. It is very easy, namely take the rest of aluminum foil, folding up into several layers. Scissors crease with your scissors to snip 7-8. As a result you have sharp scissors again.

Time aluminum foil can also be used as material for art or craft at school so no need to use a new aluminum foil.
With this then we can continue to use aluminum foil back us and not thrown away in vain.
