Easy Outdoor Cooking
For easy fixing and good eating, feature
a meal-ma-package the next time you cook
outdoors A complete, balanced meal of
meat, vegetable and sometimes fruit can be
cooked together in an aluminum foil pack
age Individual foil packages are a clean,
convenient way in which to prepare food at
home, carry it, cook it and eat it all in a
single container which is easily disposed of.
The packages also allow for individual taste
preferences.
Here is a good idea for those lazy days
at the beach when you plan to cook out. The
foods can be arranged m their foil packets
hours earlier and stored in the refrigerator

around food in an airtight
package, it becomes a small
scale waterless cooker. A
single thickness of the heavy
duty aluminum foil is suffi

weight household foil, use a
double thickness. For each A foil-baked hamburger

of foil will' be needed for
each serving, depending -on
the particular foods .being
wrapped.
The packets may be cooked
on the coals themselves or on
a grill above the coals. The
coals should b hot, but nev

might burn a hole through
the foil. If the packets are
cooked on the grill, allow 10

turn the packets. Do not poke
holes in the foil. When the
food is done, do not make a
hole in the wrap, but tear off
the crimped edges, zipper
fashion. The contents can
then be eaten directly from
the wrap.
A slice of pre-cooked ham
makes a delicious combina

two tablespoons chili sauce
and two teaspoons flour in
each package as a sauce. Cook
for an hour on a grill, turn
ing once or twice.
Chicken is a barbecue stand
by; make it the easy meal
in-a-padkage way. Place a
chicken piece or two just off
center on the foil; add a
small pared potato, a small
ripe iomato t onion slices, two
mushroom caps and two green
pepper rings. Sprinkle with
two tablespoons packaged
