The heat-reflective property is, again, most dramatically demonstrated by the foil. It is used by housewives to line broiler pans and reflect heat upward to broil the underside of a steak (and to save on pan scouring). At campfires, reflective ovens are constructed of Reynolds Wrap—to bake bread, biscuits, and even small pies.
Wrapping an object in pure aluminum foil is a unique experience. No strings, rubber bands, or other fastenings are required ... the wrap molds to any shape, and holds it. By crimping edges, the package is sealed against moisture, air, light, and odor. Little wonder it is so widely used to keep certain foods fresh and moist. On a day’s outing or overnight hike, campers prepare several meals before they start out, wrap each in Reynolds Wrap, toss them into their pockets ... and all that remains is to build a fire and drop the “packaged meal” in the coals.
Reynolds Wrap cuts down “camp chores” and makes outdoor life more fun.... See the menus and recipes on the following pages for dozens of ideas, every one proved at the campfire.
CAUTION:—Obviously, foods and sandwich spreads that normally require refrigeration must be kept iced to assure positive protection.
Have you ever...?
After a hard day of whipping the stream or tramping the woods, have you ever returned to your base camp to find a pile of greasy, smoky-black pots and kettles waiting to be scoured? Or have you ever awakened in the morning to meet the mess of the night before?
Ah, now you remember ... you were in a hurry to get away at break of day, or the evening darkness fell too soon. You left the cooking utensils unwashed. So now, before the meal can be prepared, the oatmeal pot must be scrubbed out and the frying pan scoured clean. It’s unpleasant work and it takes time. Even the most moderate tempers sometimes flare up when hunger bites and there is no prospect of immediate food.
But Reynolds Wrap has solved this problem once and for all. Pots, pans, and dishes are no longer necessary on a camping trip.
