How to Grill with Foil
Foil pouch grilling is a simple way to make great meals. Preparation is easy, no special equipment is necessary and cleanup is a breeze. It is also a healthy way to cook, because the food is cooked in its own juices over high heat, allowing the meal to caramelize slightly, making it remarkably flavorful without the use of butter or oil. Food cooked in foil remains very moist and its natural sweetness is enhanced. But, you can always give food an extra boost of flavor with bold spices, herbs, mustard, vinegar and more!
Here are some simple tips and recipes to get you started.
Don’t forget to use nonstick cooking spray on the grill rack. There is nothing worse than having to pry a hot foil pouch off an even hotter grill.
Leave a little space in the packet to allow for steam and food expansion. This extra room also helps to maximize the flavors.
Because each person gets their own individual mini-packet, it’s easy to customize your meals to suit individual tastes or dietary needs. For example, if you know one of your guests doesn’t like peppers or beans, just leave these out of their packet and add ingredients they do like.
