Foil wrapped potatoes are not baked, they're steamed/same as nuked...
WTF did you do that... that's what cheapo restaurants do. Aluminum
foil needs to be banned from all kitchens. I have a 125' roll of
heavy duty Reynolds Wrap in a cupboard that's missing maybe 20', it's
dated 1982 when I first opened the carton. It's been so long since I
used any I can't remember what for but I do know it wasn't for
anything cooking related, likely something artsy craftsy. I stopped
cooking on aluminum many years ago, it leaves a terrible flavor on
foods, especially on seafood or anything salted. Other than several
pieces of Nordicware bakeware (nonstick coated cast aluminum) I don't
own even one piece of aluminum cookware. The only piece of cast iron
I own is a gingerbread house mold (nonstick coated too). I cook/bake
on stainless steel/carbon steel. I own some glass/ceramic covered
caserols, but I never use them for cooking, they're used for food
storage/marinating.
