Product Review: Reynolds Wrap Release

When you make things on a cookie sheet or cake pan, do you ever find yourself growling at all the food that is left stuck on the pan? Does it irk you to waste all that food? Does using vegetable and cooking sprays leave your food greasier than you'd like? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might want to give Reynolds Wrap Release a try. Reynolds released this version of their foil a little while back, and it has earned a permanent spot in my cabinet ever since.

The rectangular shaped box is blue and silver. I always buy the box with thirty-five square feet of foil in it, actually, I'm not sure if they make any other size. The top of the box has a small yellow banner that boasts the words "non-stick," and claims to be heavy duty, aluminum foil. The side that opens has a yellow box with a thin red border and thick top banner. The yellow box offers you the advise of how to use it. Stating: the non-stick side of Release foil is the dull side. Of course, the first time I used this foil, I did not read that little box.

I pulled my sheet of foil out, cut it with the serrated edge provided on the box, and proceeded to place it on my cookie sheet. I had to pause and really look at the foil. That's when I realized the shiny side was supposed to go against the pan, with the dull side up. Another easy to tell non-stick side from the regular side, is just by reading the foil. You will be able to read the words "Reynolds Wrap Release Non-Stick Side" correctly on the dull side, while the shiny side will have the words printed backwards.

On the back side of the box, there is another yellow and red box, with more how to use tips. There are also examples of the perfect situations to use the non-stick foil in. Such as, cooking-line pans with the foil and food will lift right off, covering-cover your sticky foods with the foil and they won't stick, freezing-protect your food from freezer burn without sticking by wrapping in foil, and grilling-you can line your grill to keep food from sticking and falling through the grates.

From the very first time I used the foil, I was amazed by it. It truly is non-stick. I use it to bake perfect cookies, cover barbecue chicken, make fish sticks and tater tots, the list goes on and on. It is one of my favorite items in my kitchen. If you are tired of leaving half of your food stuck to the pan, then you might want to try this product.
