When using aluminum foil to cover a dish in the oven does it matter if shiny or dull side be on the outside?

Answer:

its because honey he's nuts, thats all theres no rime nor reason just he is crazyIm thinking of haven him take to a shrink for help.maybe one of those people who talk to animalsBet he would side with me.dang crazy dog
He just loves breadIt's kind of odd, I know, but, I noticed that my male dogs love bread and my females go for butter! No kidding! If I forget to put the bread in the bread box my male afghan will eat the whole loaf, so would my older male when he was still alive, where the girls just get in the refrigerator and eat the butter, with bread lying all over the kitchen! (You can't trust an Afghan Hound alone in the house!)
OK I actually wrote that the shiny side had to be toward the food .that is what I always had heard and learnedbut in researching the answer I checked Reynolds Wrap FAQs and this is what I foundWhich side of Reynolds Wrap? Aluminum Foil should I use, the shiny or the dull side? Actually, it makes no difference which side of the aluminum foil you use—both sides do the same fine job of cooking, freezing and storing foodThe difference in appearance between dull and shiny is due to the foil manufacturing processIn the final rolling step, two layers of foil are passed through the rolling mill at the same timeThe side coming in contact with the mill's highly polished steel rollers becomes shinyThe other side, not coming in contact with the heavy rollers, comes out with a dull or matte finishThe exception is when using Reynolds Wrap? Release? Non-Stick Aluminum FoilThe non-stick coating is applied during manufacturing to the dull side of the foilAlways place the non-stick (dull) side toward the foodSo by asking this question you actually taught me somethingThanks!!!
