5. Restore Shine to Tarnished Silverware
Tarnished silverware can look dull and unappealing, but aluminum foil can bring back its sparkle. Line a baking dish with foil, shiny side up, and place your silverware on top. Sprinkle baking soda over the items, then pour hot water into the dish. The chemical reaction between the foil and baking soda removes tarnish, leaving your silverware gleaming.
6. Create a DIY Funnel
Need to transfer liquids or dry ingredients but don’t have a funnel? Aluminum foil has you covered. Mold a sheet of foil into a cone shape, ensuring the tip is narrow enough to fit into your container. This makeshift funnel is perfect for pouring without spills or mess.
7. Scrub Away Stubborn Stains
Tough food residue on pots and pans can be a nightmare to clean. Instead of reaching for a scrubber, crumple a sheet of aluminum foil into a ball and use it to scrub away grime. The foil’s abrasive texture effectively removes stains without scratching your cookware.
