Was ist Foil?
Foil, in a culinary context, primarily refers to thin sheets of metal or treated paper used for cooking, wrapping, and storing food. Aluminum foil is the most common type, valued for its heat conductivity, malleability, and barrier properties against moisture and oxygen.
"Foil is not an ingredient itself, but an indispensable tool that dramatically impacts cooking methods, food safety, and efficiency in the kitchen."
