To avoid getting burned when using aluminum foil for cooking or baking, follow these safety tips: Always handle the foil with utensils or wear heat-resistant gloves. Avoid touching the foil directly after cooking or baking, as it can retain heat. Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent punctures and tears that can cause burns. Keep aluminum foil away from open flames or high heat sources to prevent it from catching fire. Always use caution when removing aluminum foil from an oven or stovetop, and let it cool slightly before handling.
