Oblong aluminum foil containers can be used in a variety of ways at home. They are not only convenient and practical, but also help you store and cook food.
1. Baking assistant: Use aluminum foil containers as small baking trays or molds for baking small cookies, cakes and other desserts. They can be easily placed in a preheated oven and can be discarded directly without further cleaning after use, eliminating the trouble of cleaning.
2. Grilling companion: When grilling outdoors, you can use aluminum foil containers to wrap vegetables, potatoes or other ingredients and then grill them directly on the charcoal fire. This not only keeps the moisture of the food, but also prevents the food from being burned by direct contact with the flame.
3. Microwave heating: Although aluminum foil itself cannot be placed directly in the microwave, you can use it to make a simple "steam pot". Place the food in the aluminum foil container, cover it with a layer of wet paper towels, and then cover it with a layer of aluminum foil, so that the food can be quickly heated in the microwave while keeping it moist.
4. Refrigerator storage boxes: Aluminum foil containers can be used to store leftovers or prepared ingredients, such as cut fruits and vegetables. They can be well sealed to prevent food from losing moisture or absorbing the taste of other foods.
5. Food warmer: In winter or when the temperature is low, aluminum foil containers can be used to keep food warm. Putting hot food in the container and then wrapping it with multiple layers of aluminum foil can effectively slow down heat loss.
