DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO THESE THINGS WITH ALUMINUM FOIL?

• Fold foil in quarters, then cut with a scissors to sharpen the scissors blades.

• Double wrap meat, vegetables and seasonings in a foil pouch, cook on the grill for 20 to 30 minutes for a simple and delicious BBQ dinner. Or place directly on campfire coals.

• Heat cotton swatches within a foil envelope to create a char cloth. Foil is a great work surface for starting a fire with petroleum jelly and cotton.

• Keep matches and tinder dry by wrapping them tightly in foil.

• Don’t have a pot to boil water? Line a hole in the ground with foil and fill with water. Use tongs to pull rocks from a campfire and transfer them into the water. The water will soon boil.

• A layer of foil beneath a sleeping bag prevents moisture from seeping in while you are sleeping.

• In the woods, strips of foil hung at eye level make great trail markers, especially at night when they catch flashlight beams.

• Use the reflectiveness as a mirror, to signal for help.

• Fold a small piece of foil several times into a small square and insert it into the space between a battery and the loose spring to hold the battery in place and complete the circuit.

• Wrap a piece of plywood in foil. Place it behind your radiator to reflect heat into the middle of the room.

• Crumple foil into a ball to rub rust spots off surfaces such as shower curtain rods and car bumpers. Also works for cleaning pots and pans.

• After grilling, use a ball of foil to scrub the burned food bits off the grill.

• Clean silverware in a shallow pan lined with foil. Add two or three tablespoons of baking soda and boiling water, then drop in tarnished silverware.

• Strips of foil hung from string to twist and flash in the wind and sun can scare off birds and protect garden crops.

• Secure a loose peel-and-stick vinyl tile with a sheet of foil and a clothes iron. Cover the tile with foil to protect the finish, then iron it to soften and reactivate the adhesive.

• A sheet of foil lining the bottom can keep baking tins looking new and, in a pinch, substitute for a cookie sheet.

• Wrap doorknobs in foil to catch splatters when painting.

• Create a custom-shaped cake pan (cartoon character, name, heart, etc.) by reshaping the inside of a regular cake pan with foil.

• Wrap the heating element of an oven or toaster oven to protect it during a thorough cleaning.

• Cut ironing time in half by placing a sheet of foil under the ironing board cover. The reflected heat from the foil lets you iron both sides of a garment at once.
