Are you full and cannot eat another bite of your pizza but you think it would be a waste to throw it away? Well, just wrap the remaining slices in aluminum foil and store in the fridge. When you have the desire to eat pizza again, place the slices on a baking sheet and bake without removing the foil. Bake at 200°C for 10 -15 minutes and your pizza will be crispy and delicious!

Do you have an old picture frame and want to give it a new look? Equip yourself with aluminum foil, metallic paint, and glue. Apply the glue to the edges of the frame. Turn it upside down on a sheet of aluminum foil, pressing hard to make the aluminum foil stick. Wait for it to dry and cut off the extra aluminum foil. Then paint it with any color that you prefer. Et voila! An original picture frame for your most cherished memories.

I think you will all agree that ironing is the most unpleasant household task. But with a sheet of aluminum between the ironing board and the ironing board cover, ironing will be much faster.  In fact, aluminum foil allows the heat from the iron to spread more rapidly, making the clothes less wrinkled and ironing much faster.
