Do any side up and hit it with a little paste car wax so it all comes off later.

Depends on what you are cooking. Most recipies call for the foil to be shiny side towards the food. It keeps the heat in better. For F/G work, we find that shiny side away from F/G works best. Hit it with some spray wax, F/G doesn't stick to it.
