+3 One side has a higher polish level. For storage of food you should wrap it with the more shiny reflective side facing outwards. For cooking in an oven the shiny side should be on the inside - next to the food.

OK,which side of aluminum foil faces down on the food,the dull side or the bright side?You decide!LOL

Discussion: I have been trained that aluminum foil has a shiny side to reflect heat and a dull side to absorb heat; dull side out to cook a roast; shiny side out to protect a crust. Please give proof. What do you think?

If you use tinfoil in your cooking, do you use the shiny side up or the not so shiny side up?
