INTRODUCTION One of the best things about camping is sitting around the pit and creating delicious campfire food. Between the overall feel of the outdoors and the flavor elements of fire, wood, and coal, the taste of campfire cooking is unparalleled and can leave you craving those rustic flavors all year long. There may be times, however, when you want to branch out from your typical grill and skewer campfire foods, only without the extra pots and pans that make cleanup such a hassle. This is a great time to explore the wonderful (and tasty!) options of campfire foil packet cooking. Foil packet cooking is a food preparation method that involves placing all of the ingredients inside a piece of aluminum foil that has been reconstructed into a sealed packet or envelope. The benefits of foil packet cooking are many and include less prep and cleanup than ever before, as well as an ability to bring new dishes to the campsite. Foil packet cooking allows for the unique melding of flavors that occurs when different food items and spices are prepared in close quarters—like in a foil packet! Foil packet cooking maintains the integrity of your ingredients and gives you great options for breakfast, entrees, sides, and even desserts. This third volume of the Foil Packet Recipes was written not only to show you the techniques of foil packet cooking but to introduce you to endless new creative possibilities. Foil packet cooking is easy and stress-free, allowing you to produce tasty, elegant, and rustic culinary masterpieces. In this book, you will learn all that you need to know about foil packet cooking, as well as tips that’ll make your time at the campfire cooking site that much easier. From now on, you can sit back and savor the experiences with friends and family. Have many wonderful camping trips and great foil packet cooking!

FOIL PACKET HOW TO There is nothing complicated about foil packet cooking. The tools you need are minimal, and the techniques are easy to master. The following are some of the basics you’ll need to prepare your foil packet meals.

Equipment To make the most delicious foil packet meal, all you need is aluminum foil, cooking spray, a heat source, and some food. That’s it. When you choose your foil, it is best to choose a heavy-weight aluminum foil. A heavier foil will hold up better when you fold it —plus it’ll help when you transfer your ingredients to the heat source. Heavyweight aluminum foil will maintain any folds and crimps. It’ll provide for a more consistent cooking temperature and will hold in all juices and steam.

Heat You can use any available heat source at the campsite, including a fire pit, grill, or propane heat source. The one thing you’ll want to avoid is setting your foil packet directly onto the flame. If you are using a grill or fire pit, prepare by setting fire to some wood or coals—ideally a stack that’s about two inches thick. Let your fire burn until the wood or coals are smoldering hot but are no longer producing flames. Placing your foil packets directly onto the flame will cause inconsistency in cooking, and possibly burning.

Cooking Sprays and Fats It is absolutely essential that you apply oil to your foil packets. That’ll prevent sticking, charring, and unpleasant alterations in flavor. Always plan on spraying the inside of your aluminum foil as part of the preparation process. If the meal you are preparing already contains a decent about of oil, that may be sufficient protective coating between the food and the foil. Only

then should you choose to skip the cooking spray. And if you prefer not to use cooking spray, a light brushing of cooking oil or melted butter is just as effective.

Consider Your Ingredients Once you see all the possibilities foil packet cooking has to offer, you’ll be tempted to experiment and create your own packets—and you definitely should! However, take into consideration the type and size of ingredients that you are combining. For example, hard vegetables require longer cooking times and should not be combined with thin pieces of meat unless they’ve been chopped thinly, too. You wouldn’t want the meat to overcook or undercook the vegetable, just because they’re in the same foil packet. Always make sure that you adjust the size of your ingredients to facilitate the cooking process. Finally, make sure that you add an ingredient that contains moisture, especially for recipes that are rather dry on their own. When it comes to foil packet cooking, it’s hard to add ingredients halfway through the cooking process, so make sure you have what you need at the beginning. Add moisture with ingredients like tomatoes, butter, and marinades.

Assembly When you assemble your foil packets, you ’ ll need to keep your ingredients ’ variable cooking times in mind. Place the ingredients with the longest cooking times at the bottom of the packet, as that will give them the greatest initial exposure to the heat source. For example, if your foil packets include both meats and vegetables, you will want to add the meats to the bottom of the packet and keep the vegetables on top. Also, take into consideration the texture and blending of your ingredients. If you have something that is going to melt, such as cheese, make sure the ingredients nearest to that ingredient are the ones that you want to mix with it.

Styles of Packets Not all foil packets are created equal. There are two different styles of foil packets that you can use, each one suitable for cooking different ingredients.

The Flat Packet The flat packet is a tighter fitting packet that holds the ingredients close and produces less steam. This packet is ideal for dishes that you want seared or charred. Because of the lack of moisture in flat packets, you’ll want to make sure you’ve added enough moisture to your dry ingredients before you start cooking. Even something as simple as herb butter is enough to make a steak juicy and tender instead of tough and dry. In order to make a flat packet, tear off a sheet of aluminum foil and liberally spray the inside. Then lay the foil out on a flat surface and place your ingredients directly in the center, layering as needed. You will need to make sure that you avoid spreading out the ingredients too much. They should be compact, giving you a decent amount of free surface area around the outside edges. Take the two longer edges of the foil and fold them up, meeting in the middle. Then make large downward folds toward your ingredients. Bring the short ends of the packet in toward the center and crimp the foil to create a secure packet. Place the packet onto the heat source with the folded side up. The Tent Packet Tent packets are to be used when you need more circulation and steaming. Any recipe that involves produce, or grains such as rice, will do better in a tent-type packet. The space left between the food and the top of the packet is really the only difference between the two styles. With tent-style packets, you do not want the top of the packet to touch your food. Instead, there should be anywhere from one to three inches of air flow space above your ingredients. To create a tent packet, tear off a piece of aluminum foil that is large enough to accommodate your ingredients. For tent-style packets, you’ll want to allow yourself a little more foil around the sides in order to leave enough space for air—although you’ll still need enough foil to create a secure crimp. Spray the inside of the foil liberally with cooking spray.

Next, place your ingredients in the center of the foil. Take the long ends of the foil and fold them up over the food, meeting in the middle several inches about the ingredients. Using small folds, crease the foil until the peak is approximately three inches away from the food. Crimp the top of the packet tightly. Next, bring in the sides just enough to produce a strong seal on the sides. Place the packet onto the heat source with the folded side up.

Don ’ t Forget That You Are Not in Your Own Kitchen Even with all the preparation, there is a level of uncertainty when it comes to cooking at a campsite. Cooking outdoors is not the same as cooking in your own kitchen, and cooking temperatures and conditions are never as predictable. Be prepared to adjust individual cooking times based on your situation and expect that the next time you prepare the dish, the cooking times may be different. For this reason, it is a good idea to invest in a reliable meat thermometer to check the temperature of the ingredients inside the packets. You can read more about this when we discuss food safety at the campsite.

At Home Preparation One of the best things about foil packet cooking is that it brings simplicity to preparing meals at a campsite. Not only is cleanup extremely easy, but with proper preparation at home, you can eliminate the need to waste time prepping your food at the site. Each recipe in this book contains an ingredient list and assembly directions, but also tips on how to get started on the meal at home before you wrap things up at the campsite. Some people choose to assemble the ingredients on site, but others would have their entire packets ready to go before they arrive. Here are a few tips to get you started. If you choose to prepare your packets ahead of time: Choose ingredients that will hold up structurally. Choose firm fruits and vegetables to reduce the risk of sogginess when they’re exposed to oils, juices, or marinades.

Get a head start on marinades and seasoning. Since you will be filling the packets ahead of time, you’ll want to make sure that you marinate your ingredients ahead of time. You can place marinade and liquid seasonings in the packet as long as the crimps and folds are strong enough to hold them. However, full marinades should be done in a separate container before you transfer them to the foil. Remember food safety and consider how you will be storing the packets before use. Keep any packets that contain meat, fish, or dairy well chilled. And after assembling your packets, add an extra layer of protection by slipping them into food storage bags. These bags should be clearly labeled with the contents. This will help prevent any cross contamination that might occur from leaking foil packets. To partially assemble your packets at home: Spice jars and food storage bags are your friends. Many of the recipes in this book call for a variety of spices. This does not mean that you need to pack every spice jar you find in your cupboard. Instead, you can prepare a couple of spice blends ahead of time and store them in jars or plastic food bags. Long-term storage of spices in plastic bags is not recommended but may suit your needs for a weekend. Pre-cut and portion your ingredients. You’ll want to have separate storage containers or food bags for each ingredient. For example, if you know you’ll be using a lot of sliced onions, you can prepare an entire bag to add to your dishes. Or you can prepare entire sets of ingredients. A chicken and vegetable foil packet might involve the prep of one bag of cut vegetables, another bag of cubed chicken in a marinade, and spices from a pre-made spice blend. Always label your bags, even if it seems obvious what’s inside, and include which recipe(s) you intend to use them in. Use proper food safety techniques with regard to temperature control. For the sake of simplicity, use quality premade ingredients when possible. There is nothing as delicious as a smoky campfire barbecue but creating your own sauce from scratch can involve many ingredients and be time-

consuming. Instead, choose a quality sauce and add a few choice ingredients to enrich the flavor and make it unique. In certain dishes, canned options will work just as well as fresh and eliminate the need to be cautious about maintaining a certain temperature for safety. Precooked and quick cook items will also make campfire cooking more stress-free. Pack a couple of extra meals. This will cover your bases in case a recipe doesn’t go as planned. Or maybe you’ll decide to extend your stay, or you’ll invite extra people to join you for a meal.

Food Safety and Cooking Guidelines When you prepare food away from home, you’ll need to take extra safety precautions. A fun camping trip can quickly turn unpleasant when you fail to follow proper food handling procedures. The first thing to pay attention to is temperature. Perishable foods need to be stored at a temperature of 40°F (4.5ºC) or cooler. Make sure you have the equipment to maintain such temperatures, and routinely check the temperature of your food with a thermometer. If the temperature ever rises above 40°F (4.5ºC), throw your food out. Do not try to salvage any food that has been sitting outside of safe temperature zones. Anything containing raw meat should be double wrapped in a plastic bag and closed securely. Store items containing raw meat and poultry in a separate container from other items. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your meat prior to consumption. All poultry and ground meat mixtures should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74ºC). Beef, however, has a wider range of acceptable temperatures. It should be cooked to at least 145°F (63ºC) (from rare to medium rare) up to 170°F (77ºC) (well done). You’ll have to follow these guidelines for any ingredients that have come into contact with raw meat in the foil packets, too. You can consult the chart in the appendix at the end of this cookbook.

Know how hot your heat source is. Camp cooking heat sources can be unpredictable, and you may need to adjust your cooking times from what’s listed in a recipe. Most of the recipes here assume you’re cooking on a medium-temperature heat source of approximately 400°F (204ºC). Always wrap and refrigerate any leftovers you want to save. You only have so much time to refrigerate your food before it could become contaminated. Another important thing with foil packet cooking: Take precautions to avoid burning yourself. The steam that is released when you open a foil packet is hot, and it rises upwards when opened. Use tongs to remove the packet from the heat source and cut a small slit or x formation into the packet to allow some of the steam to escape.

Tips For Successful and Safe Barbecuing To make sure that harmful bacteria, sometimes present in uncooked meat and poultry, are destroyed during the cooking process, you must make sure that the internal temperature is high enough for safe consumption. Always use a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part without touching any bones. Research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that the color of the meat is not a dependable indicator that meat or poultry has reached a temperature high enough to destroy harmful bacteria that may be present. Follow this chart for approximate cooking times, Outdoor grills can vary in heat. Use barbecue sauce during the last 15 to 30 minutes of grilling to prevent excess browning or burning resulting from the sugars of the sauce. USDA recommends cooking pork, beef, veal, lamb chops, ribs, and steaks until it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145ºF and then let rest at least 3 minutes before slicing or consuming. Although it is safe to eat poultry with an internal temperature of 165°F, the flavors, and the texture are best when the internal temperature reaches 170°F to 180°F Source: Food Safety and Inspection Service, USDA
