To wrap a hot pan with aluminum foil, first ensure the pan is stable and on a heat-resistant surface. Take a large piece of aluminum foil, about twice the size of the pan. Hold one corner of the foil and drape it over the pan, allowing the shiny side to face the pan. Gently press the foil against the pan, working your way around the edges to cover the entire surface. Ensure the foil is snug but not too tight to avoid tearing. The shiny side facing the pan will help reflect heat and protect the pan's surface. Be cautious while handling the hot pan and aluminum foil to avoid burns.
