Now that you’ve finished your legendary BBQ, it’s time to clean up the grill. This is by far the least favorite part of having a BBQ since it means you’re going to have to clean all of that oil and grease from your BBQ – a dirty and daunting task.
Expedite this process and make it a lot more fun and simple by using aluminum foil. Place the grill in some soup and water scrub the grease away with the foil. Watch how the remaining BBQ scraps immediately disappear from your grill. Simple, effective, fun, and cheap. That is the magic of cleaning things with aluminum foil.
Create a Touchscreen Pencil
Apparently, aluminum foil interacts quite nicely with touchscreens. This means you can spare hundreds of dollars on the brand new and overly expensive Apple Pencil, or even save yourself a visit to the store next time you want to use an external object to handle your touchscreen phone.
Simply take any object of your liking, it could be a pencil or even a pin, wrap some aluminum foil at the tip of that object and it will work just like a proper touchscreen pen. Don't worry about it not being a brand name. Make it your own by using colors or even stickers and your friends will no doubt be impressed.
Reattach Floor Tiles With An Iron and Aluminum Foil
Is one of your floor tiles loose again? There’s no need to run to the store and replace it. We’ve all had the experience of stepping on the floor in our bathroom, only to hear a sudden “crack” sound telling us that a floor tile is now on the loose. There’s actually a really easy way to solve this problem.
All you have to do is to stick the tile back to its normal position, then take a sheet of aluminum foil and place it on the tile so that it is completely covered. Now just bring out your trusty iron and go over the tile as-if you’re ironing a piece of cloth. Do this for a few moments and the heat will get that tile fixed right into the floor. Neat, huh?
Polish Your Silverware With Aluminum Foil
As humans, we tend to eat things. And when we eat, we use silverware. Silverware changes color over time and requires a little more than a simple wash for correct upkeep. Yes, we're talking about the dreaded act of silverware polishing. While silverware polish exists, it requires a trip to the store, a toll on your wallet and frankly, it smells funny.
If you don't already have some silverware polish lying around, simply grab a dish, wrap it with aluminum, pour in some baking soda and salt and you've got a makeshift silverware polisher. Dump all of your dirty silverware into the dish, cover them with some boiling water, and you'll see them gradually getting their original good-looking shine back.
Professional Bacon Roasting
Bacon is one of the most delicious breakfast foods in the entire world. It's simple to make, fairly cheap, and tastier than most other meats due to its high percentages of fat. Anyone who has ever professionally cooked bacon will tell you that one of the best ways to do it is on a rigged and curvy surface.
The ridges help your bacon slices stay elevated, giving them hot air from all sides and getting them cooked and crispy the whole way through. But if you don't have a rack with ridges on it you can always take some aluminum foil and style it in the same way. Now that's some restaurant-level cooking!
