Foil Cooking Activity

Make a tin foil envelope out of foil about 30cm x 60cm.

1. Fold foil in half 30 x 30cm, with silver inside.
2. Fold over sides 3 times about 5mm each time.
3. Place food inside with about 3 tablespoons of water.
4. Fold over end 5mm three times to seal it.

Food could be:

• Chops or other meat
• Potatoes, kumara, pumpkin etc
• Carrots, parsnips etc
• Peas, beans etc
• Onions, tomato or other spicy foods
• 3 or 4 tablespoons water

Cans of baked beans (with ring openers) to place in embers.

Light a fire thet will leave you embers bigger than the area of the envelopes.

When you have a big fire that will leave you plenty of embers let it die down.

Place the foil envelopes of food in the embers.

Light the fire again on top.

Takes 25 mins to cook beautifully, each envelope is like a pressure cooker.

Happy eating have fun.
