What is the carbon footprint of me covering my roast chicken in fucking aluminum foil and then throwing the foil away because it has grease on it and can no longer be recycled

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Of course it's possible recycle aluminum covered in grease. It has to be cleaned before recycling though. Incineration is often used for getting rid of the plastic layer in soda cans and it's possible to use the same method for fat too.

Apparently just don't cover it in foil.

EDIT: just realised that's for turkey, so YMMV with chicken I dunno, I usually do a rack of lamb anyway lel

I don’t do it but it does make it a little bit crispier without drying it out

Ok fine, I roast the chicken on 350 for 45 minutes then 425 for 45 minutes then if I am feeling fancy put tin foil on the roasting pot and cover for 15 minutes, but usually I skip the tin foil and throw in already cooked potatoes carrots garlic onions etc
