Can You Use Tin Foil on Stoneware? Tips and Precautions

[ChefNic]

Has anyone heard that you aren't supposed to use tin foil on/with stoneware????

Can you cover food in the oven with tin foil?

seems I've heard that it can cause the stone to break becuase the heat goes right to the foil causing hot spots.

thanks

I've heard something similar on here.

I don't know what the "rule" is but I have been using tin foil on my stones for years. Also notice when you touch tin foil (even still in the oven) its not hot enough to burn you.

I did a recipethat called for the food to be wrapped in foil packets. I used a bar pan as the way to hold them. I placed 6 room temp packets on the room temp bar pan. Put it in the oven BEFORE preheating and let the oven warm up. My oven does not use a super heat to preheat. So I figured no problem. I went to check the packets about 10 minutes after the oven as to temp. And "crunch"!!!. Stone broke. You know what I think did it, when I opened the oven the door, the cold air fromt he room swept in and cooled of the foil to fast.
So for me with my experience, NOPE don't use foil. I think it depends on the stone though. Being that they are poured, each stone is so different. The only good thing, they are warrantied and can be replaced!

I do my symphony brownies in my foil covered square baker all the time ~ as soon as it comes out, I lift it out onto the rack to cool (makes cutting them so much easier.

I have also covered stones to make lasagna, and reheat things too.

I've never heard this either.

I have used tin foil with no problem both to cover my food and cooked on it. I do use parchment paper more to cook on but it depends on what I am cooking as to which I use.

Why don't you use parchment?
