I'm asking because, for school, picnics and other occasions, I had wrapped food like sandwiches in plastic wrapNow I've read that foil is better, because it is a cooling material and helps refresh the flavours of the food for longer.
For many foods, it doesn’t matterEither one can protect foods wellWhen that’s the case, use plastic because it has these advantages: 1) it’s transparent, so you can see what’s inside; and 2) it’s less expensiveAluminum foil will work better if the food needs more protection(Think, for example, of a sandwich made on soft bread that you’re carrying to work)For covering food in the oven and lining the oven pan, of course aluminum foil is the product to useFor freezing, the best option is plastic freezer bags or plastic containersIf you use aluminum foil for freezing, use nonstick aluminum foil, or wrap the product in plastic wrap first and then in aluminum foilRegular foil sometimes sticks to food and can be difficult to remove.
If its poorly insulated then no matter what you use you will have heat lossElectric is very expensive so I would stay with gas and the best thing to do is install either a pellet stove or a wood stoveOnce installed you will probably lower your bills by about half.
