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.
