no more burnt foil packs

[gems90]

I have seen to many people having toasted dinners. When my son was in scouts they had a simple and easy fix for this. Make your foil pack like always, then soak newspaper in water, wrap the paper around the pack, wrap this again with foil. Cooking time is about the same. The food is now steamed, with no burning. Be very careful when opening the foil, it is VERY hot. We find this makes cooking a lot easer, one less thing to worry about.

Actually I have never tried Foil-pack cooking, I've heard of it, but don't really know much about it. Any good recipes for me to try? Using the wet newspaper makes sense to me, "steaming" instead of "burning".
