SWMO - what is the purpose of the baking soda ? Never heard of using that for a foil pack - just wondering what it does for the food.
Thanks for asking that! I was wondering what the baking soda did also!
.
Since it has peaked some curiosity, I'm going to guess and see if I'm even in the ball park. Since it is specifically the meat marinade, I'm going to say that it helps breakdown the muscle tissue of the meat or works as a tenderizer. Similiar t adding vinegar to a marinade?
Oops, beat me by 1 minute! drat!
