Ok - I'm not usually one for saying "hey I found a great product" But... HEY! I found 2 great products. LOL

First off is the reynolds release aluminum foil. This stuff is as awesome as the commercials make it out to be. For those who freeze meat, this stuff is great! I can make up hamburger patties and use the release foil and never get frost burnt food.... plus the foil doesn't stick to the meat like normal foil does.

The most impressive thing about this foil is the ability to make meatloaf using it!!! Mom always used foil when she made her meat loaf, and someone always ended up with some foil on their plate. *laughs* Well this stuff doesn't stick to the cooked meat at all. And if you like to put potatoes in with the meatloaf, it works great. No foil stuck to the taters!

And the glad press n seal stuff... that actually works too. I've not tried it in the freezer, but use it mainly for my kids sandwiches for lunch and for resealing hard tacos. We always have at least half the box of taco shells left and I hate throwing them away. But I've never found a way to reseal them so they'll be crunchy next time I try to use them.....Until.... the press n seal. You'd think they'd never been opened.

I've never heard of the release foil before - is it like foil but acts like plastic wrap? That is cool that you could make meatloaf using it.

I have used the press n seal before and it worked pretty well. That's a great ide about the taco shells!

I've never heard about the foil either?! I wonder if you can use it when you cook over a campfire?? If so, it's gonna be a must have around here becuase potatoes stick like glue to the regular foil when I try to make it that way.

Oh my gosh, yes mom -- that's actually one of their commercials. They put it on the grill and use it to cook their food on. And.... it doesn't stick! And I've used it for baked potatoes.....no stick! It's awesome stuff I tell ya. I'm sure they've got the generic version of this, but I've never tried it. Only the true Reynolds.

I also use it for lasagna and you KNOW what kind of mess that makes in a pan! And for pigs in a blanket. It makes it so you can lift them off and not rip everything apart. GOOD STUFF I TELL YA.

Now obviously it does cost more than the normal foil, but even me, being as cheap as they get LOL .... I think it's worth every extra penny. But I keep the normal stuff on hand for things that I don't worry about sticking.

I was looking for a picture of the stuff ... and found an article where they won an award in canada. LOL http://www.alcoa.com/global/en/news/news_detail.asp?pageID=241754989&newsYear=2004

Here's product info for a picture. I know that personally, it's easier for me to find a product if I've got a slight clue of what it looks like.

Next I'm going to try the new easy crockpot clean up stuff. Hope it lives up to my expectations!

I absolutely ADORE the release foil and use it for EVERYTHING--all it is is pregreased foil--and it can be recycled considering what you use it for. Just wrap it up and store it in your freezer to be used at a later date--saw that hint on another website. Great on the grill as well.
