How to wrap your foil dinner:
You want to leave enough space in your foil pack that there is room for steam to travel around and cook your food.
You also want to fold the ends of the foil together to seal in the heat and moisture, rather than just scrunching the foil together at the ends.
Be sure to use high quality aluminum foil so your foil pack is sturdy enough to transport.
