Ya, I've had this happen with piquant sauce on meatloaf. It must be the vinegar and tomato products. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Ryan Grant Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 2:35 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] NTC aluminum foil eating barbecue sauce Hi Technetters, I have a question for the chemist gurus out there. My wife and I were surprised to find the aluminum foil that was covering our spare ribs had holes eaten away wherever the foil had sagged and touched the barbecue sauce. Now I'm wondering what chemical reacted with the aluminum foil to dissolve it? It took about 24 hours to get 7 mm diameter holes all over the foil. The ingredients of the sauce are as follows: High fructose corn syrup, water, concentrated tomato juice, vinegar, food starch-modified, salt, honey, contains less than 2% of paprika, molasses, hickory smoke flavor, spice, mustard flour, guar gum, natural flavor, red 40. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
