How to line baking pan with foil? Do you do this often? In fact, do you know that mastering this kitchen skill will make your life so much easier? Am I exaggerating? Well, let's see.
Using this skill lessen your frustration of scrubbing down your pan. Also, applying this skill to certain recipes, you may not even need to clean up the baking dish and/or roasting pan. All you need to do is to toss the foil into the trash can. How does that sound?
Having a busy family and working a full-time job is very exhausting.
When you get back home, you still need to cook dinner and clean dishes. Man....the day feels like too long. Or should I say it seems
never-ending. I am actually in this exact situation. So, I must be
creative to think of some ways to make my life easier.
I have
been using aluminum foil to line my baking dishes, baking pans and
roasting pans for many, many years. I apply this skill at least once a
week for making dinner for my family. And it always works like a
champ. I highly recommend you to give this a try. Practice makes
perfect. Once you get a grip of it, you will find it doing a lot of
wonder in your life.
There are 2 sides of the foil. One side is shiny and the other side is dull. It is due to the manufacturing process. The side in contact with the roller came out shiny.
People always ask, "Which side of the foil should it face up or down?" According to research, either side gives the same result. There is no difference. I tend to have a habit to have the dull side facing up. Part of it because of thinking of the oven heat source as the sun and the foil as the Earth. Sounds crazy?
Well, for whatever reason, I always think of the shiny side of the aluminum foil as the ice in the Poles. The sun shines on the ice and reflects the light back which supposes to turn to heat. Therefore, I always have my dull side up. It may not make sense to you. But I have been doing this for years and I can't even remember when and how I started it.
Either way, the research has shown that you will get the same result. There are a lot of discussions and arguments on the internet. It really depends on your preference. But I encourage you to give it a try and find out which way works better. Please share with me your discoveries, too.
A 13" x 9" baking sheet can simply use one layer of aluminum foil lengthwise. The foil is wide enough to cover the rims. You only need to gently push down at each corner so that the foil tugs in nicely.
For any baking sheet or roasting pan bigger than that size, apply these steps below:
