The price of vegetables is rising due to bad weather this summer, and tomatoes, which are summer vegetables, are also greatly affected. In order to eat the precious ingredients as deliciously as possible, I tried a slightly unusual aluminum foil.


"Grilled Tomato Black Foil" released by Toyo Aluminum Echo Products in August is an aluminum foil with improved heat absorption by applying a special black treatment to the outside. According to the official website, the absorption rate of "lycopene" contained in tomatoes increases by cooking, and it is possible to cook more efficiently using the same foil.


The site also has recipes supervised by Kagome, and I made some.

First of all, pizza gratin using whole tomatoes. By heating, the green odor of tomatoes disappears, and the sweet and melty tomatoes and pizza-taste ingredients go well together.




Bacon and eggs tomatoes for breakfast. Wrap the ingredients in black foil and heat them with a toaster for about 15 minutes to complete. It seems that the ingredients are hard to stick even if they touch the foil, and it looks beautiful.

There is also for baking

Speaking of delicious snacks in the coming season, grilled rice is also available. The company also sells a product called "Ishiyaki Imo Black Foil" for cooking sweet potatoes.


Wrap the sweet potatoes tightly and bake in an oven toaster for about 17 minutes (for 1000W). The core was cooked and the chewy and moist texture was completed. I always put it in a toaster and bake it for about 30 minutes, so this is a lot of time!



Both of them looked like the same foil, so when I inquired about them, they seemed to have slightly different thicknesses. Since it is developed according to each ingredient, I basically wanted you to use it for the purposes described. The mysterious black foil series costs around 200 yen per box. You can purchase it from the company's official mail order.
