Tips for Successful Foil Packet Cooking

Be sure to use heavy duty aluminum foil when making your foil packets. It's sturdier and less likely to tear. Or if that isn't what you have on hand, double up on your foil layers when assembling your foil packets.
Spray your foil with cooking spray prior to assembling your ingredients.
Use thin cuts of meat and place them on the bottom of the packet since they will take the longest to cook.
Add cheese after your packet is fully cooked and off the fire to ensure it doesn't stick to the foil.
Open packets slowly when they are done cooking to let the steam vent out carefully.
