Sticky foil packet dinners? Line the foil with parchment paper first.
Foil seals in heat, but sugary glazes and delicate proteins love to “weld” themselves to it (teriyaki salmon, honey-garlic chicken, BBQ tofu). A simple parchment liner creates a nonstick barrier so your sauce stays on dinner—not stuck to the foil—and cleanup is basically lift out, toss liner.
Quick setup for no-mess packets:
1) Foil sheet (12–18”) + a slightly smaller parchment sheet
2) Parchment on top, food + sauce in the center
3) Fold parchment edges up like a little bowl
4) Fold foil over and crimp tight (double-fold the top seam + pinch the sides)
Tip: leave a little headspace so steam can circulate, and keep parchment fully inside the foil if grilling.
When it shines: BBQ/teriyaki/honey sauces, fish, shrimp, cheesy veggies, potatoes, even cinnamon apple dessert packets.
Road trip idea: make a few flavor packets ahead, explore Colorado National Monument or the wineries nearby, then come back to an easy dinner night at Junction West Grand Junction RV Park (spacious full hook-up pull-through sites, splash pad, three fenced dog parks, and spotless private tiled showers).
