I guess I feel like I paid for something to shine it, and I want my money's worth. Haha!</p> <p>According to this link though, what makes one side shiny is contact with the steel rollers... so basically, nothing shines it and both sides work equally well:<br /> <a href="http://americastestkitchen.tumblr.com/post/5546338699/foil-shiny-side-up-or-down" rel="nofollow">http://americastestkitchen.tumblr.com/post/5546338699/foil-shiny-side-up-or-down</a></p> <p>Imma keep using it shiny side up though!</p> <p>When you use aluminum foil, do you put the shiny side up or down? </p>
