The thickness of household aluminum foil rolls determines its physical properties and the application scenarios. If you use aluminum foil from HTMM Aluminum Foil Factory, you will be working with 11-18 micron aluminum foil rolls designed with precision (with different microns of thickness) and serve differing user needs from everyday household to commercial kitchens.
11-13 microns:
These are lightweight and flexible options, making them a great daily preservation option. Kitchen aluminum foil rolls with this thickness range is light and flexible. It is particularly suited for daily food wrap/ preservation. Whether it's wrapping fresh fruits and vegetables to help prevent oxidation or covering leftovers in the refrigerator, the foil can be fitted to the container with ease and is extremely difficult for bacteria to invade.
Furthermore, 11-13 micron kitchen aluminum foil rolls can also serve as a "light weight" grease barrier when grilling, meaning that laying it on the grill will prevent food from sticking with good heat conduction so that ingredients heat evenly, and at the same time, make your grill easier to clean, which are all lovely options for family picnics or outdoor barbecues.
14-16 micron:
balanced and durable, which makes them good partners for baking or steaming. Catering aluminum foil rolls of medium thickness is a great balance for strength and flexibility perfect for baking or steaming situations. For baking, it can be a baking sheet if you don't want to scorch cake or cookie bottoms, or even help release a mold; while wrapping meats and fish for roasting can retain juices while protecting surfaces from dehydrating; while speeding cooking and retaining flavor when wrapping items for steaming by creating an airtight area with 14-16 micron aluminum foil will accelerate heat transfer to turn down the cook time as well retaining the original flavor, and it's a preferred method for sea-salt-baked chicken, paper-wrapped fish and other originals.
17-18 micron:
Tough and tough, the commercial kitchen workhorse. Thicker foil gives you more weight and more tear resistance which is why it is a great choice for high use environments like commercial kitchens. You can use to wrap large quantities of ingredient for batch roasting, for example whole turkeys and large roasts. Aluminum foil in fast food packaging can account for the heat and weight of the high heat of fried foods and prevent leakage. In addition catering aluminum foil rolls of 17-18 micron thickness is suitable for food transportation at an industrial grade, providing a barrier of protection for food that is shipped large distances and ensuring food quality and food safety in challenging environments.
In the home kitchen, HTMM household aluminum foils are a multi-purpose tool with lots of potential as a functional improvement to cooking efficiency and quality of life.
