There are many creative uses for aluminum foil, but not all of them have to be practical like keeping your electronics safe or growing your plants better. You can also have fun with aluminum due to its many versatile features.
One easy and fun use for aluminum is to wrap it in various shapes and use it for some improvised artistic modeling. Another fun use is to cut it up into various shapes or even cover an entire room with it and create a light show. The options are endless and the fun is guaranteed!
Increase the Lifespan of Your Steel Wool
It doesn't take more than 2 to 4 uses before you start seeing your trusty steel wool gathering some unwanted rust. You can actually make the lifespan of steel wool last much longer and dramatically decrease the amount of rust that will build on it using a bit of our favorite material, aluminum foil.
Take some aluminum foil and wrap it around the steel wool. Then just put the aluminum ball containing the steel wool into the freezer and take it out the next time you need to use it. This will prevent rust from accumulating and allow you to use your steel wool over much longer periods of time.
Make Chrome Shine Again
Chrome is a type of metal that collects rust over time, causing it to look dirty and unpolished. It doesn't matter how many times you go over it with a wipe though, because rust isn't something that can just be cleaned off. This doesn't mean that you need to get rid of it or replace it all, Once again, plain old aluminum foil will do the trick.
Simply take a piece of aluminum foil and scrape it gently over your rusty chrome surface, and you've got yourself a brand new metal that looks like it was just recently purchased. It's easy, fun, cheap, and rewarding.
Keep Your Pans Clean
We all love frying and fried food. In fact, the only bad part of pan cooking is the horrible clean up it involves

Simply cover the pan with aluminum foil before you start and cook your meal over the foil. Then, when you’re done, simply throw it away and you've got a totally clean pan!

It will quickly soften up and be very easy to pick up and manipulate. There you go. Problem solved in just a few minutes with our trusty old metallic friend.
