What is the difference between cling wrap and Aluminium foil?
The difference between plastic wrap and tin foil is that plastic wrap is an insulator (nonconductive material) and tinfoil is a conductive material as well as reflective. Reflective materials are the best at reflecting the heat waves back, but a lot of heat will be lost due to the conductive qualities.
Foil can withstand high temperatures and is often used for cooking and grilling. Plastic wrap, on the other hand, can melt or warp under high heat. Environmentally friendly: Neither foil nor plastic is particularly environmentally friendly, but foil can be recycled more easily than most plastics.
