Notes

Note: If you are concerned about cooking your food in aluminum place a piece of parchment paper on your foil, then place the food on the parchment paper. Now when you fold up your foil packet the parchment paper will make a barrier between the aluminum and your food but the aluminum on the outside will make it safe to cook over an open flame. Note: This is not required it is just an option.
