What is "tinfoil"?
Tinfoil, also known as aluminum foil, is a thin, flexible sheet made from aluminum. It is commonly used in cooking and food storage due to its ability to withstand high temperatures and its effectiveness in keeping food fresh. Tinfoil can be used to wrap food for baking or grilling, cover dishes to prevent moisture loss, and store leftovers to maintain their flavor and prevent contamination.
