Foil-wrapped recipes are easy, require few cooking utensils, and leave little to cleanup. They can easily be adjusted to feed one person or a crowd. If you're cooking outdoors, all you need is some foil and a charcoal grill or campfire. If you're cooking at home, just pop the foil pack in the oven. Below are numerous foil-wrapped recipes using various primary ingredients.
1. Beef
Use heavy duty foil and spray with cooking spray before wrapping ingredients. Turn foil pack occasionally to avoid burning.2. Chicken
Place foil away from direct flames to avoid burning. Marinated chicken comes out very moist when cooked in foil.

3. Fish
Fish cooks quickly, be careful not to overcook. You probably won't need to turn the foil pack while cooking. Sliced lemon on top of any fish will keep it moist while cooking.4. Ground Beef
Rotate foil pack occasionally for even cooking. Recipes using ground beef will become juicy as they cook, so be sure to seal your foil packs well.5. Pork
For tender pork, use low heat to slow cook it. Avoid sugary marinades and sauces, because this will cause burning. Try using a dry rub instead.6. Potatoes
Before cooking, soak potatoes in water to remove the starch and towel dry. Cooking potatoes with oil or butter keeps them from sticking and helps them to brown.
