Recently it was posted on LTBBQ forum that cooking with
aluminum foil or pans is not good for you. This is a story that had come up
often over the years. From what I read is cooking with it can release some of
the metal into your food; especially acidic. On the other hand there have been
no real good surveys on whether it is bad for you or causes Alzheimer’s.
I have used foil for making foil packs and cooking on the
grill and use foil when I wrap ribs or pork butts.
I line my drip pan with foil too for easy clean up. A couple
of years ago my friend from the Beer and Wine Depot bought a roll of butcher
paper and gave me some to try on a pork butt. It worked fine but was kind of
messy since the paper absorbs a lot of the grease. His paper was about 3 ft.
wide and would have worked better cut down to size.
I found some of the Pink Butcher paper at Amazon, a 28 inch
roll X 150 feet. You don’t want to use the newer white paper, it is lined with
a coating and will not breath like the old Pink butcher paper; some call it
red. I just did some baby back ribs and used it to wrap for 2 hours on my
smoker. It worked great and I will continue to use it for any wrapping meat to
cook.
I will continue to use foil to line my drip pan and line a
sheet pan when doing sheet pan meals in the oven. You can suite yourself to how
serious you heed not using aluminum for your cooking.
