Foil and ovens

Whirlpool Oven Liner Foil

Whirlpool still sells oven liner foil Pt# 241430, they list it as fitting about every brand oven that WP ever had anything to do with.

 

This foil is the same on both sides and is VERY shinny.

My daddy used to roll out the foil on the mills at Reynolds.  They would give the employees free packages of wrap when the plant had open house.  As far as wrapping food goes, it makes no difference which side goes against the food.  As was stated above, it's the way it runs through the mill that makes one side dull.  As far as oven floors, I have no clue.

Don't use foil in my ovens-don't see the need.For my brand new GE Advantium oven-replaced my orig one that was 15 years old-the manual for it warns explicitly NOT to use foil ANYWHERE in the oven.The GE Advantium(240V) is a microwave,speed cook,and convection oven in one machine.It also has a rangetop exhaust fan and light.Been very happy with these.My regular GE-Hotpoint oven gets little use.

I saw the "How's It Made" or similar show about the foil. It's because the foil is run through doubled. The faces that are pressed together turn out one way, and the faces against the rollers turn out the other. I forget which is dull and which is shiny, however.

Chuck (I never check which side I'm using unless it's for show; then it's shiny-side up for visual effect.)
