Foil & fries-- shiny side up or down in oven????
Answers:
Actually, it makes no difference which side of the aluminum foil you use―both sides do the same fine job of cooking, freezing and storing food. The difference in appearance between dull and shiny is due to the foil manufacturing process. In the final rolling step, two layers of foil are passed through the rolling mill at the same time. The side coming in contact with the mill's highly polished steel rollers becomes shiny. The other side, not coming in contact with the heavy rollers, comes out with a dull or matte finish.
The exception is when using Reynolds Wrap? Release? Non-Stick Aluminum Foil. The non-stick coating is applied during manufacturing to the dull side of the foil. Always place the non-stick (dull) side toward the food.

I would say shiny side up to make this crisper.
Shiny side up... Don't ask me why, it just works better. Doesn't stick as much.
Shiny side up. And drizzle a little olive oil over them and toss. Also some seasoned salt is good too. YUMMY!
Makes no difference, the foil is for easy cleanup.
shiny side up for all tin foil in oven cooking
