To store food in aluminum foil, first clean and dry the food to prevent bacterial growth. Cut a piece of foil large enough to wrap the food completely. Place the food in the center of the foil and fold the edges up around it, sealing the foil by crimping the edges together or folding them over multiple times. For added protection, you can double-wrap the food. Store the wrapped food in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator, depending on the type of food and how long you plan to store it. Aluminum foil helps to keep food fresh by blocking air and moisture.
