tin-foil
Shiny kitchen wrap
Tin-foil is thin metal sheeting used for wrapping food or covering dishes.
Originally made of tin, it's now typically aluminum, though the older name persists: Cover the pan with tin-foil.
The material's association with blocking radio signals spawned tin-foil hat, describing paranoid conspiracy theorists who believe such headgear prevents mind control or surveillance.
