Glad Aluminum Foil, 60 sq ft
Nice box, thin foil; Reynolds Wrap or a store brand held up better in testing.
The short version
- Light kitchen jobs such as covering dishes and wrapping leftovers
- Anyone who prefers Glad's box and cutting edge
- You need foil that holds up on the grill or around heavy, sharp foods
- Cost per square foot matters most
What owners like
- The box design, with an easy opener and a lid that stays shut
- Clean cuts on the box edge when the foil is pulled upward
Common complaints
- A hands-on tester found the foil thin enough to tear above the cutting edge, wasting sheets
- Costs more per square foot than store brands that performed better in the same test
Based on The Amazon listing title, a hardware retailer listing with the maker description, a sponsored Glad post on Baking Bites, and a hands-on ranking of seven foil brands on Tasting Table.

What it does
A 12 inch wide, 60 square foot roll of Glad aluminum foil for grilling, roasting, baking and wrapping leftovers.
- Pull up cutting design meant for a quick, clean tear
- Thumb dot opener and a lid designed to stay closed
- Freezer safe for wrapping leftovers and make ahead meals
- Pitched for grilling, roasting fish and vegetables, baking and lining pans
- The Amazon listing now calls this roll heavy duty, while stores sell the same 60 square foot roll as Glad Standard
A reasonable pick for people who like Glad's box, with its thumb dot opener and pull up cutting edge. The trade-off is strength: Glad says the foil is 30% stronger than the leading brand, but a hands-on comparison of seven foils ranked it last for being too thin and tearing above the cutting edge. For grilling and heavy wrapping, Reynolds Wrap or a store brand did better in that test.
