Notes
- To bake in an electric skillet, heat to 400°F. Use a cooking rack in the bottom of the skillet and pour in about 1⁄2-inch of water. Place the packets on the rack. Cover and close the steam vent. (If you do not have a rack, make your own with aluminum foil. Form foil into a long snake about 1-inch thick. Form into a coil to fit in the skillet. Place the packets on top of the coil.)
- For grilling, heat grill to medium-high or about 400-450°F. Place packets on grates. To test for proper temperature, place your hand, palm side down, 4 to 5 inches above the cooking grates. Count the seconds until you cannot keep your hand there any longer. At a medium-high cooking temperature, you can keep your hand in place 4 to 5 seconds. Do not place your hand too close to the grates to avoid serious burns.
- For campfire cooking, use the same method to test cooking temperature. Place packets on cooking grates. Due to uneven heat, cooking times may vary.
