Like I understand it’s reflecting heat, cool. But like with the direct heat when you put it in the oven, how does it not just get hotter?
In: Physics
It does get hot. But since it is so thin, it has very little mass and a very high surface area compared to that mass. So by the time you’ve pulled it out of the oven, it’s already cooled down quite a bit. That very low mass also means there is not much actual heat energy stored there to burn you.
