Mary,
I'd be curious why your friend feels foil is a fire hazard. Obviously you
don't want to be touching the heating element with the foil. But, my granny,
my mother, and I have always used foil in the oven to cover pans. Many pie
recipes will tell you to make a collar of foil to protect the edges of a pie
crust to prevent burning. Many other recipes will tell you to bake covered
with foil for a specified time. And, other recipes will instruct you to line
a baking dish or roasting pan with foil for easy clean up or easy removal of
baked goods for example from the pan. I would recommend covering your pan
before you put it in the oven for example so you are not waving this piece
of foil around near the heating element, but other than that, you are safe.
Also, once upon a time, all tv dinners as they were called came in foil pans
covered with foil.
I hope this helps you feel more safe.
Greg

Subject: [CnD] Foil in oven
Hi,
I'm curious, have any of you had problems when using a baking pan with foil
to bake things in the conventional oven? I have never had any problems with
it, though I have a friend who says that nobody should bake things in the
oven using foil because it can be a fire hazard. I don't know what to
believe, because I've never had issues. Please share your feedback.
Mary
