Camping on Bruce loves to cook

Foil packets

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A foil packet is a small, sealed pan that steams on top and fries on the bottom. The food sitting on the foil browns in fat; everything above it cooks in the steam from its own juices, which baste the whole pouch in one shared flavour. The catch is that potatoes, meat, and soft vegetables cook at very different speeds, and once the packet is sealed you can’t add things in stages. So you stage them with the knife instead: cut the slow things small and the fast things big, and they all finish at once.
