krohdaddi asked: did you ever wonder why they wrap the bread in tinfoil? tinfoil isn't an insulator so it doesn't keep it warm; it's a conductor so it dissipates the heat more rapidly. it's like a square foot of metal. is it just habit like fish and chips in an old newspaper? it seems weird to me like being served a cup of coffee out of a huge veterinary syringe or milkshakes dispensed from a gasoline pump. do these things concern you?
I’m assuming this is about the naan in the Indian delivery meal from my last post. Truthfully I had never thought of this! Is aluminum foil an alloy, though? Or maybe the density of it makes it a superior to other possible insulators (paper towels or wax paper).
