How to Cook in Parchment
Recipe
Cooking en papillote, or in parchment paper, is a classic technique for preparing delicious and healthy meals. The parchment packets may be prepared up to a day in advance, and are perfect for a single serving when you are cooking for one.
To ensure vegetables cook through, slice them thinly and evenly. Also, be sure to close, or crimp, the parchment packet completely so that steam does not escape while the food cooks. Never open the parchment packet to check on the food-be sure to follow all the cooking times specified in the recipe!
Parchment paper is impregnated with silicone, which prevents it from catching fire. Parchment is grease-, moisture-, and relatively heat-resistant.
What to Cook in Parchment
