non-stick or easy release foil - anyone use it?

[ML8000]

Anyone ever use non-stick or easy release foil from Reynolds? Does it actually work, or how does it work? Oil or chemicals? Is it worth it? I've done a little cooking in the oven and just wondered since some stuff stuck and it wasn't fun.

I love the Reynolds product Release!! I live in suburbia of Toronto and cannot find this product anywhere and am forced to buy Alcan's Slide instead..I don't like it as much, I find it's not as strong. Recently I emailed Reynolds and they told me they are going to try for more shelf space in 2008 but can be found at Giant Tiger stores in Ontario.
I use Release for lining my sheet pans when I do my pork ribs, makes clean up a breeze...One of the many ways I use this product.

This is the best thing ever invented. Ok, I'm exaggerating, but still. I love this. I have totally discarded the old version although I still have the heavy duty in the house for certain applications where I need a heavier product.

The only thing which I found it isn't so great for is when I reheat leftover pizza. The bottom of the pie tends to be a bit too moist, but this isn't so bad that I'd go back to the other.

Besides lasagna, fish, and so on, I have found it to be great for keeping my grills clean when I get ready to glaze on the sauces. Move the meat to one side or to a plate, then lay a sheet with the non-stick side facing up on my grill. No more burnt on bbq sauces to burn and scrub off of my grates and burner guards.

I use both; the Quick Release is so handy. Buy it - you'll be glad you did.

Great stuff! I use it to line my jelly roll pans for my notoriously sticky pecan pie bars. It's worked the best of anything I've tried.

ML8000 - I agree with everything that has been posted above mine. It does not have a greasy, chemical surface, although it does feel different from the regular foil. A gentle warning, however, to be sure to place the proper side up; it is rather counterintuitive, I think. Although it is stamped on the foil itself ("Non-Stick Side"), it is the DULL side that should be placed up, instead of the shiny side. It will probably be obvious to you when you use it.

I am also a huge user of Reynold's EXTRA-heavy duty foil. It is a little difficult to find, but it, too, is a very good product.

I'm a big fan, I use it to line my pyrex pans when I make fudge, it keeps me from having to butter the pans.

Caramels, too! I forgot I had used it for that a couple of years ago.

It's a great product! Perfect for covering your lasagne or any other dish that's likely to stick to regular foil. Also great for lining a baking pan when you don't want things to stick. It's a little more expensive than regular foil, so I keep both kinds on hand.

I keep both the Quick Release and regular foil. I use the Quick Release for lining a small sheet to bake up 4 cookies (when I just want a snack) or to line a pan where I don't want it to stick but want it to get crisper than if using a silpat. It's also thicker than regular foil, so it makes sturdier packets to throw on the grill.

The regular foil I use to cover dishes, wrap up random leftovers for the fridge, etc since it's pretty cheap and I don't mind using so much of it.

I was suspicious, but it does indeed work. :)

My favorite too. i do keep the latge roll of Reynold's Heavy Duty on hand too.

Ditto for me. I use Reynold's Quick Release, and it works.

[ChowFun_derek]

It is the only foil I now buy...it works very well in whatever application I use it.

I use it to cover lasagna for initial period of baking; cheese does not stick to it! One box has lasted us a loooong time, though, because I can't think of any other reason to use it!

Personally, I love this product. Check the link out for more info.
