Maybe the oven didn't have a baking sheet so he didn't think of it. Like for BBQ you cook directly on the grill

[–] tyler@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yeah but even with barbecue you very often wrap it in something. I guess it’s possible to get to that point without learning about aluminum foil, but unlikely. In any case, a valuable lesson for him and we’ve all done dumb stuff and only realized after stopping to think about it for ten minutes so it’s not really that big a deal. Very funny though!

Kinda like that guy on Reddit who hated showers all his life until he moved in with his partner & observed them waiting for the water to get hot before getting in

You wrap your food before putting on the BBQ?

[–] tyler@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It completely depends on the food, my point was that foil exists.

For example if you’re smoking a brisket you wrap it half way through.

Edit: to be clear I’m usually wrapping brisket in peach paper, but the knowledge still applies

peach paper

You'd probably call it "butcher paper".

[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

Peach paper is a special kind of butcher paper, peach. Idk. Holds up better than butcher paper imo, but could be me imagining things.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Special kind of butcher paper.

I wrap vegetables when I grill them.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Vegetables, baked potatoes, sometimes entire meals like chicken and shrimp you want to steam rather than fully cook on the grill

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

Yeah uh idk where you think these things are taught

I tried wrapping did in foil. The foil melted and then set fire.

Edit: I was on grill

[–] 666dollarfootlong@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

The foil melted and then set fire.

The fuck?

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Are you sure you didn't confuse wax paper for parchment paper? Because it sounds like you tried to bake with wax paper.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Uhhh, pretty sure that aluminum isn't flammable

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Everything is flammable if you put enough heat in it.

Maybe they were baking in a fusion reactor and accidentally made plasma brownies

[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

The ignition point (flammable point) of aluminum dust is 750°C, so yeah it’s flammable, but at that temp you literally can forge titanium so yeah there’s zero chance what they said is true.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Pretty much everything is flammable if you can get it hot enough.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

The minimum ignition temperature of aluminum DUST is 750°C. That means your grill was at almost 1400°F. That’s enough to literally forge titanium.

Sorry, but I do not believe you.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Uh... Bro? I've used Tin Foil in 650 degree BBQs. I doubt you used foil.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Aluminum has a melting point of 1,220°F (660°C). What brand oven were you using to achieve these temperatures?

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rooster is full of cockamamie, or it was parchment paper.

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe they were those foil-coated sandwich wrapping papers?
