When carbonated beverages containing acids are packaged in Aluminium cans the cans are lined with a plastic coating so that the beverage does not come in contact with the metalExplain why and what might happen if the plastic were not present.
Yes you canYou can also use a cookie sheet and set on top of the pan.
The aluminum should work just fine, but for Hamburger Helper, I always use the circular pizza pan for a lid.
as we know that carbonated beverages contains acid mainly carbonic acid (h3co3)and the cans are made up of aluminium which is a very reactive metal So if both of them acid (carbonated beverages) and metal (aluminium) comes in contact the react very rapidly and forms co2 h2o and other by-products due to which the taste and properties of the beverage will be lost so there is a plastic coating to protract their contact
