Foil That’s Learned to Let Go

To put this new nonstick aluminum foil to the test, we shaped it into a foil collar for a souffle we were baking. It worked beautifully, coming away from the souffle cleanly. Try it when cooking or baking anything that’s sticky or messy, such as cheese dishes, gooey candy or grilled items.

35-square-foot roll (11 2/3yards x 1 foot) Reynolds Wrap Release Nonstick Aluminum Foil, $2.49. Widely available.
