Devonious, when i make my secret UFO hat, i always put the shinny side out.
I find this stop the chatter much better then leaving the shinny side in. One time i did shinny side in and i really thought more clearly. But every time after that its been shinny side out. Remeber when making a tinfoil hat to keep the aliens from reading your mind that if you make a spike on the top be sure if you are tall to make it under 6 foot 6 or it will get bent everytime you walk thru a doorway.

So the better question to ask is;
Why does tinfoil really have 2 different colored sides?

While many believe that the different properties keep heat out when wrapped with the matte finish facing out, and keep heat in with the matte finish facing inwards, the actual difference is imperceptible without instrumentation. Quote:
"The shiny side is produced when the aluminium is rolled during the final pass"

IMO, yes, aluminum does go into our food when in contact with it. Especially acidic foods like tomatoes. Aluminum cookware, aluminum foil, aluminum in your cake mixes, aluminum in your deoderant. I do believe some studies have shown that aluminum can lead to Alzheimer's. But if one thing doesn't get you, another certainly will...muhahahaha.
 sorry, evil laugh.

actualy there is a difference weather it is shinny side in or out, but it is not enough of a differance for us to worry about.
3 types of heat transfer conduction, convection, and radiation, the shinny vs non shinny side of the foil will only affect the radiation method of heat transfer. but not by mush as itis shinny but not as shinny as we thing. talk a look at the oilwell firefighting suits., very shinny and very very reflective. aluminum foil is shinny but not very reflective due to the nature of aluminum. so don't worry about it. what ever way your potatoes get wraped up is ok. as for lasagnia tent the aluminum don't seal it so the moisture can escape during the whole cooking time.
