tin foil
Shiny kitchen wrap
Tin foil is thin, pliable metallic sheeting used for wrapping food or covering dishes.
Though modern versions are typically aluminum, the older name persists: Cover the pan with tin foil.
In conspiracy culture, a tin foil hat supposedly blocks mind-reading or government signals—so tin foil hat labels someone as paranoid or given to conspiracy theories.
