What are the differences between different types of aluminum foil?

Aluminum foil comes in different types, each with unique characteristics. Heavy-duty foil is thicker and more durable, ideal for grilling or roasting. Standard foil is thinner and commonly used for food storage or cooking. Reynolds Wrap Platinum is a premium foil with a non-stick surface, perfect for delicate foods. Oven-Ready foil is pre-cut and designed for easy use in the oven. Foil with a dull side is better for heat retention, while shiny side foil reflects heat. Additionally, some foils are treated with antimicrobial agents or are designed for specific uses like baking or cooking with microwaves. Each type is chosen based on the intended application, providing versatility in food preparation and storage.
