Keeping Bananas Fresh for Longer
Bananas are great for so many different things, like baking, adding to smoothies, and of course getting your fix of potassium. But the problem is that they can go from green to yellow faster than you can say pepperoni pizza! So, we suggest that you wrap the ends of the stalks with aluminum foil since it prevents them from rotting. This is because they don’t get contact with air which is what causes decay.
Avoid Welcoming Cockroaches into Your Kitchen
We all know that kitchen cabinets are for food products and kitchenware. They most certainly are not designed for creepy-crawlies like cockroaches and other bugs. The problem is that those dark corners are quite inviting to these little critters. That is unless you put aluminum foil down on the surface of the cabinets which reflects light into all the dark areas.
Low-Cost Boost to Radiator Efficiency
Man, when it is cold, there’s nothing better than walking through the front door into a warm house. But what happens when the radiator isn’t working so well anymore and you walk into a freezer-like house? You freeze! You can cover some cardboard with aluminum foil and place it around the radiator. The foil will help boost the heat in the house.
Cutting Out the Mess in BBQs
We’ve mentioned cleaning up the grill after a great barbecue, but what we haven’t mentioned is how aluminum foil can come in handy during a BBQ. You can wrap your meat, chicken, fish, or vegetables in aluminum foil and save yourself the headache of having to clean up the dripping mess of the food. This is also a great way to savor all the flavor of the grilled food.
Making Old Mirrors Bright Again
Mirrors aren’t just for looking out ourselves in, they’re also great additions to rooms in order to make them look larger than they really are. Sometimes the corners of these mirrors can lose their shine, and they become tacky-looking. A simple hack for this is to neatly fold a piece of aluminum foil to the corners.
