It's called tin foil, but it's an old term. It's the same as aluminum foil.

It's NOT "ten foil" - it's tin foil...
It's actually aluminum foil and is used in pans under the food to catch the drippings, or as a cover over something you are baking.

Tin Foil. This is actually a reference to aluminum foil. The recipe is saying that you need to cover the top of the dish with aluminum foil before you cook it in the oven. (Leave the aluminum foil on while cooking the item.)

Tin foil is actually aluminum foil. Very thin sheets of aluminum sold in rolls used to cover food dishes while baking or kept in the refrigerator.

Do you mean tin foil? also known as aluminum foil is used to wrap food in and to cook food in. This helps retain moisture, and defuse direct heat so that food doesn't burn and cooks more evenly.
Hope that helps

Do you mean tin foil? It's made of aluminium [aluminum if you're American], and is used for wrapping meat prior to roasting. It, reputedly, helps to reflect heat back into the meat thereby giving a more consistent/thoroughly heated roast.

I think it is a typing error, and they meant tin foil.
Like aluminum foil, reynolds wrap etc.
Thin sheet of aluminum used for food storage and crafts.
