Question:

Substitution for aluminum foil?

Tomorrow I will be attempting to cook a grilled cheese in my dorm room using an iron as the source of heatHowever, I'm in a bit of a pickle as I seem to have forgotten to get aluminum foil at WalmartI need a substitute that I can wrap around the sandwich and place the heated iron on without it burning down my dorm or sticking to the iron, but also be thin enough to let heat through to the bread and cheese comboThe items that I have that I have considered using are as follows: -An empty Triscuit box-An empty Chex Mix bag-Paper plates-3x5 notecards-Printer paper-Paper folders-Hallmark greeting cardsThings I don't have-Aluminum foil-Parchment paper-Wax paper-Soda cans-Street signsThank you in advance for your help.

Answer:

If you are using pine or cedar, use aspen shavings insteadIf those bother your allergies as well, you can try carefresh or corn cob bedding.
I don't really know but a suggestion to look up would be little peaces of rubber
This is a dumb ideaIf you have a toaster (or if you don't they're like $5) and a microwave you can make a very good grilled cheeseToast the slices of bread, butter on the inside sides, place cheese (and onions, pickles, etc, too if you like) then microwave the sandwich until the cheese meltsGreat grilled cheese, no fire hazards needed.
