Default How many layers is your lasagna?

I use foil because it is oven-safe, and it seals in the moisture when
I'm reheating the dish at the church. The foil doesn't react with the
food if it doesn't come in contact with the food. The initial baking
is done uncovered so the top can dry out a little.

That's a valid concern; thanks for bringing it up. Should be OK if
the dish is assembled with room-temperature ingredients and goes
straight into the fridge. Maybe even the freezer for the first 20
minutes.
