Your post reminds me of my great grandmother. She used to save her tin foil in this big, tin foil ball. I don’t know that she ever used it. She just saved it. She did the same with rubber bands. I don’t know if she thought we would get invaded by aliens one day and her big tin foil and rubber band balls would save the world or if she just thought the balls were pretty, but the ball was always in the kitchen cabinet next to the sink. She died a few years ago, but, knowing my grandmother/her daughter, who also can’t throw anything away, the big tin foil ball and rubber band ball are probably still in the cabinet where my great grandmother left it.

I wish she had tried making tin foil animals. Much cooler.

Why is it that I never thought about washing and re-using aluminum foil?

Then again, I’ve read a lot about how aluminum is bad for cooking as it leeches into your food and poisons you. This is especially true for tomatoes, and is why teflon cookware has gotten such a bad rep lately – because when the teflon is scratched, there is aluminum underneath.

Aside from that though, great tips!
