Did you know that there are some amazing uses for aluminum foil? Some of those uses

don’t even involve food or cooking. Here are just 10 of the ways you can save tons of time with aluminum foil.

1.Sticking a slice of bread or a couple of jumbo marshmallows into the bag will help soften hardened brown sugar over time, but if you need a quick fix, use foil. Just make a foil packet to hold the hardened brown sugar. Pop it in a 300 degree oven for 5 or 6 minutes, and the brown sugar will soften up.

After it sits for 5 minutes, you will see an amazing difference. It’s like magic!
