To remove excess oil from aluminum foil after cooking, first let the foil cool down to avoid burns. Then, you can use a paper towel or a clean cloth to gently wipe away the oil. For stubborn oil, you can wash the foil with warm soapy water. If you're reusing the foil, make sure it's thoroughly dried before storing to prevent any potential for bacterial growth. Always remember to handle aluminum foil with care as it can be sharp and may tear easily.
