Yes, aluminum foil can be used for baking. It's particularly useful for foods that require even heat distribution or need to be shielded from direct heat, such as delicate pastries, fish, or vegetables. It can also be used to prevent food from sticking to the baking sheet or to catch any drips, making cleanup easier. However, it's important to note that some foods, especially those with a high sugar content, can burn if they come into direct contact with the foil, so it's best to use it with a light layer of oil or parchment paper underneath.
