So I have a recipe that ended with “tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes.” I never heard this phrase before, so I looked it up. There were multiple lengthy articles (for example) and it all comes down to: cover your food in aluminum foil to keep moisture from evaporating.

😡

That’s 5 minutes I will never get back.

One article went so far as to suggest using broom handles or sticks. That one was kinda funny. 😂

the term usually also implies you don't want the foil to touch the food. i stick toothpicks in there for the foil to rest on if it doesn't wanna work well on its own.
