Cool, ta everyone... I got it right then

Although I reckon that this subject may need some further investigation, and would be very worthy of a National Lottery grant.

Write up a plan.
You have a defined objective, a research plan, well defined costs. (Rolls of Tinfoil, quantity of chickens to roast etc.

Should be easier to document than some of the rubbishy schemes that did win funding.

I think that shiny side out to reflect heat on 'delicate' foods such as fish.Shiny side in to promote long slow roasting...

But as most folk use microwaves these days cling film is your friend..Not that I'm keen on the stuff.It's a machination of the devil is clingfilm.
