Getting down to cooking a foil-baked dish, consider the features of your oven and be guided by the cooking time according to it, and not by what is written in the recipe. If you are preparing a dish for the first time, follow a few useful tips:
- divide the total cooking time by 4
- open the oven every quarter of the total time and check the degree of readiness of the dish
- don't be afraid to unwrap the foil for a more accurate check
- to make it more convenient to unfold the foil, always leave a "seam" on top of it
- if you wish, you can determine the degree of readiness without unfolding the foil by making one or two punctures in it with a toothpick
Remember that the quality of the foil also matters.
