Cooking Tip

Using Foil Packets

• The foil packet technique provides lots of flavor with little fat since foods cook in their own juices.
• Foods prepared in foil packets retain a majority of their vitamins and minerals.
• It makes no difference whether the shiny or the dull side of the foil is on the outside of the packet.
• When cooking foods such as potatoes or other items that might stick, first spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut dense foods into smaller pieces than delicate foods when they're cooking in a packet together. this way, the items will be done at the same time.
• Open cooked packets carefully because the steam will be hot.
