it gets hot, just its not a very good conductor of heat, therefore it cools off basically once the heats removed from it, so when you take it out, its not hot.

It gets basically as warm - yet aluminum is a super conductor the two considered one of warmth and electrical energy. because of the fact of this warmth and electrical energy pass unquestionably by it. THEN it is truly truly skinny - so the warmth is given up in seconds once you're taking it out of the oven - and this makes it appear as if it wasn't warm.

aluminum foil is aluminum. not metal. it doesnt get hot because aluminum is not a good conductor of heat. It is most beneficial to trap heat in.

I guess you have to turn the oven on first. Because my foil gets plenty hot.

It does get hot otherwise it wouldn't transfer the heat. Aluminum naturally cools very quickly, [dissipates heat]...

It DOES get hot in the oven... It just cools quickly.

Yeah all those are right but also they are forgetting the ration of surface area/volume ration is really close to 1. so yeah that would probably help a lot too.

Of course it gets hot. Yes it is a metal. It just cools VERY rapidly, so when you touch it, it is cool. Very unique.
