The foil is also imprinted with the words "NON-STICK Side" on one side to indicate the side that provides the best non-stick surface.

What is the coating on Release Non-Stick Foil?
It is a proprietary food-safe coating that is both effective as a non-stick surface and safe for food contact.

How can you tell which side is the non-stick side?
The non-stick side is the side with the flat or dull finish. To help indicate which side is non-stick the foil has been imprinted with the words "Reynolds Wrap® Release® NON-STICK Side."

Do you need to grease or use a non-stick spray when cooking with Release Foil?
No, Release Foil will resist sticking to your favorite recipes and it can be used in all of your cooking, covering or freezing situations.

Can Release Non-Stick Foil be used on a grill?
Yes, Release Non-Stick Foil can take the high heat of the grill as well as the low temperatures of the freezer. It is safe at any temperature ranging from -40°F to 650°F.

Release Foil is a versatile tool for grilling. Always use medium to medium-high heat on the grill. Always preheat the grill first. Then, place Release Non-Stick Foil on the grill with the non-stick (dull) side toward food and add food immediately.

Here are some everyday grilling uses for Release Non-Stick Foil:
Grill Rack Liner:
Place sheet of Release Non-Stick Foil with drainage holes on grill rack with non-stick (dull) side facing up toward food. Drainage holes allow fats to gradually drain away from the food, preventing excessive flare-ups. The easy way to make drainage holes in the non-stick foil is to lay a sheet of foil over a cold grill rack, a broiler pan, or a cooling rack. Using a grilling fork or carving fork, make several holes in the foil wherever the food will be placed. Place the sheet of foil with drainage holes on a preheated grill. See Safety Tips for Grilling for other grilling tips.
 
Wrapping Foods:
Center sheet of Release Non-Stick Foil with non-stick (dull) side toward food. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
 
Foil Grill Pan:
To make a Foil Grill Pan, stack two sheets of Release Non-Stick Foil with non-stick (dull) side facing up. Use a baking pan to form the desired shape. Flip the pan upside down. Press the stacked sheets of foil around pan with non-stick (dull) side down. Remove foil, flip the shaped Foil Grill Pan upright; crimp ends to make handles. The non-stick side should be facing up. Place Foil Grill Pan on a tray to transport to and from grill.
 
Follow all Safety Tips for Grilling for grilling.
