A primary function of the leafâs waxy cuticle is to reduce water loss through the leaves, which is particularly important in arid deserts with little rainfall or Mediterranean climates with seasonal rainfall.
The first plant designed for rolling aluminum foil was opened in 1910. Aluminum foil replaced tin foil, when the Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie., Emmishofen aluminum foil rolling plant in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, was opened by J.G. Neher & Sons.
Join Date: May 2001. Anecdotally, I've used aluminum foil on my drip pans for years and have never had an incident of fire. It would seem to me that if you didn't change the foil when the gunk started to collect, then you may ignite the gunk but that doesn't have anything to do with using foil.I've also used foil in an oven under pans, over turkeys, and as a baking sheet for cookies and have never had an incident of failure of the aluminum.hey tell not to be this because the foil in conjunction with oil or fat can catch fire more easily. Fats and oils that collect in the bottom of the bowl is less likely to vaporize and flame than it is if it is spread over a convoluted, multiple layered surface of the foil.
