Why does the stove top look like it's wrapped in plastic?

[–] fizix 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think it's foil

[–] MrJameGumb 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I could see that. Still not sure what the point is though lol

Wrap surface in foil then replace foil for easy clean

Seems like they would end up spending a fortune on tinfoil that way. That stuff tears pretty easily too I don't know how clean it's actually going to keep anything

I guess it comes down to what you can get cheaper, foil wrap or degreaser. There's also the labor hours needed to do the cleaning, so the tin foil saves money there. But you're right, it would definitely tear all the time and ultimately seems like more trouble than it's worth.

Tin foil comes in different grades and thicknesses.

I’ve worked in kitchens before, this is what we did.

I work in kitchens now, we don't do this. But I can definitely see it for a sauté-heavy menu, which is a lot of finer dining places. We're all flattop and fryer with a few burners in back for prep. Those burners don't see enough action to warrant heavy-duty foil wrap.
