Foil Cooking

Foil Cooking Hints

Use two layers of light-weight, or one layer of heavy duty aluminum foil. Foil should be large

enough to go around food and allow for crimping the edges in a tight seal. This will keep the juices

and steam in. This wrap is known as the "drugstore" wrap.

Drugstore Wrap

Use heavy foil three times the width of the food. Fold over and roll up the leading edges. Then

roll sides for a steamproof seal.
