How to cook in foil?
Aluminum, baking paper, cling film, brick sheets or baking paper are perfect for cooking in foil. The ingredients to be cooked are placed inside these sealed envelopes. They allow a stewing.
Whether in a traditional oven or microwave, heat forms steam to cook food very gently, without drying them out. Be careful not to overfill your foils to ensure hot air circulation.
They must remain well closed and the garnish cut very finely for a fairly quick cooking. The objective remains to retain most of the nutrients in food. With boiling or simmering, for example, the vitamins evaporate in the water. The longer the cooking time, the more the mineral salts will be destroyed.
