Theoretically it would feed in the machine the same way. I don't think it would advance through the feeder, though, without bunching up. Which, by the way, is a glitch with the paper towels. They get bunched up on occasion and won't pass through the feed. Also, I don't feel as though the cutting mechanism would be strong enough to cut through the aluminum foil. I haven't tried it, however, but my assumption would be that it wouldn't handle the feeding of the foil without tearing it up.

The manual says NOT to cover the crumb tray with foil as this may cause over heating.

Maybe aluminum foil. Once. But this an awful, awful cheap product. Look elsewhere.

I wouldn't. I've rinsed the foil out many times, but the body isn't water tight around the switch and seams.

I used a product called Goo off. You can use alittle gasoline on a paper towel.

Hello Troy, This is Sandy with Georgia Pacific. You will want to use a Multi-Fold paper towel. C-Fold and Multi-Fold towels differ in the way they are folded. A C-Fold paper towel simply lie on top of each other, is folded in the shape of a "C" and are not interfolded. A multifold paper towel has a "Z" type fold to it and are interfolded so that when one towel is pulled out, the tail of the next towel will show. Thank you.

We put food directly on it, but it gets really messed up (as in dirty) that way, so we started using foil to save the washing up while camping.

The "foil" is a very specially hardened stainless steel. Aluminum would be far too soft to function as a cutting edge! There's an incredible amount of thinking that goes into that very special material.

I don't believe so. Although I've never tried to use foil in it. But for the clear wrap it works great. I've been using it for years. Try www.stretchtite.com.

No. But, if you're worried, you can always toss a paper towel over it, like the instructions suggest.

The purpose of using a silicone mat is one of health. Aluminum, when heated, leaches into the food. Metals like Al have been strongly linked to Alzheimers and other diseases. One should not use Al cookware, Al foil, etc. unless there is a barrier between the Al and the food. Even when cooking in Al foil 'wraps', one should put a layer of parchment paper on top of the Al foil, folding the parchment around the food and then folding the foil. Not a stupid question; hopefully you don't think it's a stupid answer (coming from a biochemist).

No, this is not transfer paper and the foil cannot be removed from the paper backing. It is very similar to wrapping paper.

I don't know if it will work. I would cut it if I needed it smaller but I think I would use foil in a toaster oven. Remember there is a maximum heat.

You have to use it with parchment paper or plastic wrap anyways. I seasoned mine just so it won't rust when I wash it.

No it won't! It is pretty, and works very well but only for the less bulky rolls of Saran wrap/paper towels, and aluminum foil ...RO
