COOKING IN ALUMINUM FOIL

WANTTO LEAVE

the pots and pans at home? Then give aluminum foil cooking a try. Simply wrap food in a piece of heavy-duty foil and fold over the edges so the steam can't escape. Place the foil package on a bed of coals and turn it several times during the cooking. When you unwrap your dinner, you can eat right out of the foil.

Since most ingredients are fresh, foil meals are most appropriate for Scout cookouts or the first meal of a campout.
