FAQs
Is this foil safe for oven use?
Yes, it is designed for high-heat environments and is perfectly safe for lining trays and wrapping foods during cooking.
Can I store acidic foods in this foil?
It is generally recommended to avoid long-term contact with highly acidic foods (like citrus or tomato-based sauces) as they can cause the foil to pit or degrade.
Is the box recyclable?
Yes, the packaging is made from paper-based materials and should be placed in your household paper recycling bin.
Does the foil come in contact with plastic?
No, the product is 100% recycled aluminium, providing a plastic-free alternative for your food storage needs.
How does this compare to standard supermarket foil?
This foil is extra-thick, providing more durability than standard thin foils, and carries a much lower environmental impact due to its recycled content.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty tearing a straight line
Ensure the roll is properly seated in the box and pull the foil upwards sharply against the serrated edge rather than pulling straight out.
Foil sticking to baking trays
Lightly grease the surface of the foil with oil or butter before placing sticky food items like marinated meats or sugary baked goods on top.
Pros and Cons

- Significantly lower carbon footprint than standard aluminium foil
- Extra-thick material provides superior durability
- Effective at preserving food freshness in the refrigerator

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, place the roll within the provided box dispenser, ensuring the foil passes under the cutting edge. When tearing, pull the foil upwards and against the serrated edge at a sharp angle to achieve a clean cut. This foil is refrigerator-safe and oven-compatible. While the material is robust, avoid direct contact with highly acidic or salty foods for extended periods, as these can occasionally cause degradation to aluminium surfaces. After use, check your local recycling guidelines, as many facilities accept clean aluminium foil for processing.
