FAQ
Can I make these in the oven instead of on the grill?
Yes, bake at 400F for 25-30 minutes. Place packets on a baking sheet to catch any leaks.
What if I don't have heavy-duty foil?
Use two layers of regular foil and be extra careful when sealing edges to prevent tearing during cooking.
How long will these keep in the refrigerator?
Cooked foil packs will keep up to 3 days refrigerated. Reheat in oven rather than microwave for best texture.
