Have you ever froze Lasagna in aluminum foil?

[Ruth n Jersey]

My daughter and family are coming for Easter as well as the day before. I would like to make lasagna for dinner the day before because they all love it and I know I can make it ahead and it freezes well. My question is this, I make mine in a 9"X 13" glass pan. I am going to make two of them, but would like to free up the pan for uses from the time I make it and freeze it until the day I serve it. I was thinking of lining the pan with aluminium foil and put the lasagna in it. When it is frozen, take it out of the pan and wrap it again in its frozen state. Then on the day I want to use it I'd put it back in the original pan, let it thaw and bake it. I've read that aluminium foil reacts to the acid in the tomatoes and might fall apart or leave a funny taste in the food. Has anyone done this? Do you think plastic wrap would work better as a liner? Maybe I should buy foil pans but then I would be using aluminium again. Any suggestions?

line the aluminin pan with parchment paper and freze it and then you can just lift it out

I wouldn't use aluminum foil, I've seen bits of it sticking in the past to dishes like lasagna and ingesting aluminum isn't healthy for the body or mind. Plastic wrap is better than foil, and an aluminum pan is better than foil too, at least that won't flake off into the food.

I had the foil problem from baking in the oven, not freezing.

I would like the pan with saran wrap and freeze in the glass pan. Take it out when frozen enough to handle and wrap the saran around the top and sides. Use another layer to wrap tightly.
Take out, unwrap and bake in your glass pan.

I've done this many times uisng parchment paper instead of plastic wrap. I avoid using aluminum around food any time I can.
