Tenting with foil is the practice of loosely covering food with aluminum foil while it is cooking to prevent it from becoming too dark or dry. This creates a tent-like shape that allows heat to circulate around the food while protecting it from direct heat. The foil should not be tightly pressed against the food, as this can cause it to steam and become soggy. Tenting with foil is commonly used when roasting meat, such as a turkey or ham, but can also be used for baked goods like pies or bread.
