Aluminum Foil: does it make a difference whether the shiny side goes on the outside or the inside?

Please be rapid in your response as I would like to bake a potato for dinner...

Answers: Makes absolutely no difference- the shiny side is a manufacturing effect. If you want a potato fast wash it prick with a fork and microwave for about 8-10 minutes until soft. Source(s):
35 years of cooking experience no Shiny side reflects the heat, dull side absorbs the heat....wrap the baker with the shiny side in so it will absorb the heat faster. Yes, shiny side in will hold the heat in. Shiny side OUT will reflect all the heat away from your food. Some say it does but I think that's just some piece of esoteric quasi- scientific information
The key to baking a good baked potato is high heat, try 425 for 1 hour or less Makes no difference whatsoever the dull side is a result of manufacturing process and is not by and design.
