Baking With The Wrap!

This month I had the awesome pleasure of working with Reynolds Wrap products. I have used Reynolds Wrap foil and turkey bags as long back as I can remember. I don't remember my mother ever using anything beside Reynolds Wrap while I was growing up. I think it is a trusted name and a product we know will work. Who wants to buy some knock off brand just to find out it's crap, and have to wait 200 feet before we can get our hands on the stuff we know works, right? I was given a box of Non-Stick foil which I had never used in the past (another one of those things where I am afraid to try something new). Now that I think about it, it's also the same reason I order the same menu item every time I go out to eat! Back to the foil. I made two recipes. The first one was Salted Caramel Nut Brittle from Allrecipes.com. SUPER simple to make (4 ingredients + toppings), and very forgiving. I slightly passed up the 290 degree mark by about 15 degrees and who woulda known? It was super yummy! I only plated it about 15 minutes ago, and my boys have already consumed about half of it! So I will take that as a huge thumbs up.

The next recipe was for Fajitas baked in foil also from allrecipes. I threw the meat and all the marinade ingredients into the foil and topped it with my onions and peppers. I didn't see any reason why the ingredients couldn't share a packet. I let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours then placed it in the oven to bake. I cooked it for the time stated as I love my meat medium rare and it was the perfect doneness. I think the meat could have used a little more flavor, but with all the toppings it was super good! I think it would also be great to throw it in on the bbq and let it cook that way. Maybe in the summer when it's too hot to turn on the oven I will give it a try.
