Does lining and baking sheet, or roasting pan with aluminum foil have any
significant effect on the cooking? Does it reflect heat so food cooks faster, or
does it have an effect like having the heat too high? Thanks.

I've not noticed that it makes a difference other than the clean up time.
Makes clean up a lot easier.

Only thing I've noticed is that stuff can stick to it more than the
regular pan. With roasting pans, I put a little water in it so the
dripping don't burn and then you can make a good gravy. You have to
add water along the way.

For cleanup, I just put some detergent and water and let it soak a
while. Easy to clean afterwards.

I've read something about that somewhere. It seems that it does affect
time/temp; even so much that whether you use the shiny side out or the dull
side out matters. But significant? Not so much, I think. Polly

This I think. Everything affects everything else, but how much a thing
effects everything else is the question and is that effect significant
at all. Like Bryan's justification for the superiority of paper coffee
filters over metal, because the paper filters absorb some of the oils
in coffee that raise cholesterol levels in your blood. Yes they do but
how MUCH does the result lower YOUR cholesterol is the question, and
the answer is by a few INSIGNIFICANT points!

When my mom used to roast chicken, she'd always line
the pan with foil, and I liked the crunchy golden brown
crust that would form on it. Curl the foil toward the
back side sometimes will release pieces of crust from
the front side.

Yes,

You can no longer deglaze the pan.
