Never allow any frozen food to be in direct
contact with aluminum. There
is evidence that aluminum has a deleterious affect on the brain. If
you’ve ever wrapped raw or cooked food directly in aluminum foil,
maybe you’ve noticed that after a week or two in the freezer, the
foil is pitted and blackened. The aluminum has dissolved into the
food. If you taste it, health hazards aside, you can taste the
metallic aluminum in the food.
Aluminum foil certainly has its uses, and some
people wrap butter already wrapped in wax paper, in aluminum foil to
prevent any freezer tastes from entering the butter. I sometimes
double wrap something that has already been tightly sealed in plastic
food wrap, in aluminum foil. This is to further protect the food wrap
from being punctured.
