When many of us think of aluminum foil, we imagine a helpful material that keeps leftovers in the fridge fresher for longer. But did you know that it can be an effective cleaning tool as well? Here are some of the contexts in which aluminum foil can make your utensils spick and span.
Pots And Pans
Foil can act as an effective sponge on pots and pans, especially when it comes to scraping off stubborn dirt after cooking. Simply add some dish soap and start scrubbing. Just remember not to scrub too hard as this could remove your pots’ and pans’ protective coating.
Grill Grates Or Oven Racks
There’s nothing more annoying than when grime gets stuck between the grids of your oven rack or grill grate. Once your grill grate has cooled down after cooking, tear off a piece of tinfoil and scrub between the gaps.
Dishes
If there’s a lot of stubborn grime left on your plate after dinner, then it’s time to whip out your aluminum foil yet again. You may be surprised to learn that this foil can be more effective at eliminating this much than regular dish sponges.
