Should I Wash Aluminum Foil?
This comes down to personal preference and/or how much food debris has been left behind.
How Is Aluminum Foil Made?
The molten alloy is rolled thin and solidified between large, water-cooled chill rollers.
During the final rolling, two layers of foil are passed through the mill at the same time.
The side coming in contact with the polished steel rollers become shiny; the other side comes out dull.
It does not make any difference which side of the foil contacts the food, the website states.
