Is aluminium foil is safe for food wrapping?
whenever we visit doctor, he tells us about the deficiency of minerals in our body.these include iron sodium potassium magnesium manganese copper.but has ever any doctor or health specialist ever recommended that there is deficiency of aluminium in your body.no, because aluminium is not absorbed in our body from our food, neither is it present in our food as plants does not absorb aluminium from our surroundings.the reason being that aluminium is indigestible by our digestive system.it can not be converted from its aluminium nitride or aluminium oxide form into aluminium ion in our body. nor does these compounds dissolve in the digestive fluids nor in the blood. .as per the law of diffusion, every element tries to disperse itself and therefore no matter weather food is hot or cold, boiled or roasted, some percentage of it is diffused into our food when we use aluminium foil. diffusion is however different from dissolution.our body works on the mechanism of dissolving compounds using enzymes but diffused substances have no active role in our body. in fact they interfere with working mechanism of our body and causes cancer.now one may ask that why do sovmany ppl wrap their food in aluminium, there must be some kind of history behind this.yes there is one reason inwill tellyou.in golden era ppl use to wrap and cover food in silver. even till this day sweets are wrapped iand covered with silver.those who were innocent did not know the difference

What are the name of those cookies with red jelly in the middle?
They're called peanut butter jelly cookies. Here's the recipe: 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup granulated white sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups smooth peanut butter 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup honey 2 Tablespoons milk 1/2 cup (about) fruit jelly, jam, or preserves Preparation: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with silpat baking liners or parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed. Add peanut butter and butter. Using a mixer, blend on medium speed until crumbly, about 3 minutes. Add honey and milk. Mix until thoroughly combined. Mixture will be very thick. Roll dough into balls about 1-inch in diameter. Using your thumb or finger, press an indentation into the center of each ball, and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Fill each cookie with jelly, jam, or preserves. (A recycled plastic honey bear squirt bottle works well for this purpose.) Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Let baked cookies cool 10 minutes, and then remove to racks to cool completely. Store peanut butter and jelly cookies in an airtight container. Yield: about 4 dozen cookies
Will this plastic wrap make my cookies taste like plastic?
I remember reading a post about how someone did a bake sale and the 2nd day the wrap she used made them taste different. I got these stirofom holiday plates and the red glad plastic wrap. I am making a mini bread loaf for each plate along with homeage chocolates, cookies and candies and will use the plastic wrap to cover the whole plate
Food Packaging: What is this red line for?
If I understood it correctly the red mark is called as Photo Cell mark or eye mark in technical terms.The photo cell mark or eye mark is there to tell machine where to cut the film. The films are supplied from manufacturer in continuous roll form. This roll are fed into packaging machine called as Form Fill Seal (FFS Machine). Typically there are two types of FFS machines such as Vertical (VFFS) & Horizontal (HFFS). Selection of this machines are based on product to be pack, production efficiency , type of pack format ,customer requirement , etc..This rolls are fed into packaging machine which cut off individual packs, folds them, seals the join(creating the tube) seals one end, fills them with the product and then seals the other end.The eye mark doesn't have to be at the point where cut occurs at the machinery can be set to cut at an offset from the eye mark.The eye mark has no bearing on the seals,it is strictly for cutting.The position, size and colour of eye mark is defined by the factory /packer and all of this info should be included cutter guide and packaging and printing specifications. Generally eye mark needs to be high contrast (dark on a light background or vice versa) and should sit in a clear 'track' that runs in the direction of roll as it is fed into the FFS machine.This means that no variation in colour,logos ,text etc can be in the eye mark track. Some printers will add the eye mark with themselves before making cylinders and may even more elements and adapt the design for best results but some will insist on eye mark being correct and included in the supplied print ready artwork. The position of eye mark will be choosen so that it is hidden or covered on the final assembled pack, usually underneath the seal on the back of the pack.Hope this explanation will help everybody to understand in detail about Photo Cell mark or Eye mark on all printed laminate pouches.Thanks a lot.
What kind of cookie should I make for my school’s Secret Santa gift exchange? I want to make a variety, because I don’t know my person’s preferences.
All of the responses so far are great. Some pointers on how to actually pull this off:Keep in mind this is for ONE PERSON. You don’t need to kill yourself with baking dozens of cookies . Half your batches, or plan on treating other people besides your Secret Santa, too.Think of all the ways you can use the SAME dough to make DIFFERENT cookies. A basic cookie dough can be made into sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, fruit filled cookies, thumbprint cookies. Just separate a batch into 3–4 bits and use different add-ins and/or decorate differently.Avoid multiple strong flavors if packaging together. Peppermint flavor bleeds from one cookie to the next. If you’re putting peppermint and gingerbread together, you might get some funny tastes once the giftee actually cracks open your plate of treats.Great packaging can make a non-variety just as fun. Instead of just throwing some chocolate chip cookies on a paper plate and wrapping in saran wrap, you can make the gift extra special by thinking about its container. A Chinese take-out box, a little tin bucket, a festive holiday tin, a mini basket. You can put your effort in on this one and relax a little bit on the baking.Hope this helps!
Can I keep Biscuits (Cookies) in refrigerator?
How To . . . Keep Cookies FreshNow that you’ve made all of those Christmas cookies, how do you keep them from going hard and dry before delivering them to all of your friends and neighbors?Here are a few tips for keeping large quantities of cookies fresh:Refrigerate or freeze uncooked dough. Uncooked dough can be kept in Ziploc bags or wrapped in plastic wrap (especially logs of dough) in the fridge. Take out dough and bake small batches of cookies. Many types of cookies actually taste better after letting the dough sit in the fridge overnight before cooking. For drop cookies, freezing dough is very helpful. Prepare cookie dough and place scoops of dough on parchment lined baking sheets. Freeze raw dough until solid, then transfer dough balls to Ziploc bags. Pull out just as many cookies as you want to bake.Refrigerate or freeze cooked cookies. Baked cookies will also stay fresh longer if stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Store cookies in Ziploc bags or seal-able containers and freeze or refrigerate until ready to serve. Be sure to keep different kinds of cookies in different containers. Mint and gingerbread cookies do not go well together!To store cookies at room temperature: You can still keep cookies fresh without freezing all of them. Use containers that are as air-tight as you can find. Place a small piece of BREAD in the container with the cookies. The bread will lose its moisture more quickly than the cookies, allowing the cookies to stay soft longer than they normally would. Replace the bread with a fresh piece as it dries out. This will not keep cookies soft indefinitely, but it will extend their shelf life to more than a week.Just a note of warning: if you put bread in your cookie jar, every time your kids open the jar, they will ask, “How come there’s bread in the cookies?” Some may even choose to eat the bread over the cookies, which will prompt you to ask (when you go to sneak another cookie for yourself get a cookie for a starving child), “What happened to the bread I put in the cookie jar?” No one, of course, will admit to eating the mysteriously disappeared stale bread.P.S. This also works to keep your brown sugar soft. The bread will last much longer in your canister of brown sugar than in the cookie containers. Maybe because it doesn’t get opened quite as many times throughout the day!
My dog consumed a box of cookies while I was away. Will he be okay?
A box of cookies may or may not hurt your dog. It all depends on the chocolate and fat content of the cookies as Michelle in her Quora post has correctly pointed out.I have been “owned” by several dogs over time. The following incidents and near-disaster food accidents have occurred:Chicken Skin - leftovers (supposedly safely out of reach) were consumed by our Standard Schnauzer. She rapidly became ill. The emergency vet was barely able to save her.The fat content in a single chicken skin almost gave her a fatal attack of pancreatitis! Only timely vet treatment with IVs saved her!Pizza - we put take-out pizza safely in its box and stowed it away on the dash of our car …well away from our pooch! We went into grocery store for 10 minutes. Came out to discover ….Pizza box was open. Pizza all gone! Embarrassed dog trying to explain how unknown culprits had boldly entered the locked car and brazenly stole the pizza!Of course we immediately called the vet. The fat in pizza is a sure fire way to cause pooch pancreatitis!He advised to get as much vaseline down her throat ASAP. This would grease her stomach and move as much of the pizza as fast as possible out the back end!Worked like a charm! And we never let our dogs provide security for pizza again!Christmas Fruit Cake - we left that nice wrapped cake on the kitchen island. It was a dark fruit cake topped with a generous helping of marzipan! Yum…yum! So we went out to shovel snow. And came back in to witness a true Xmas miracle!The fruit cake had vanished …. nothing to be seen.We interrogated our small black dog. No way she could even reach the top of the island. And then we checked with the Giant Schnauzer.“What, me? I have been here in the living room the whole time with the shrimp dog!”A little further investigation revealed one or two small scraps of that corrugated red paper used to wrap the cake! The small dog was the smarter of the two. Clearly the big guy had been talked into pulling the cake off the island. It was then devoured in the living room by the two culprits! No one the wiser except for the telltale scraps of red wrapping!Both pups were fine but never underestimate the wiles of a hungry dog!And always keep a jar of vaseline on hand as well as the contact number for the 24/7 emergency vet!If your best friend seems to be in distress, don't hope it is going to be OK! Know it is in good hands by calling the vet! Better safe…than sorry!
