I like rice in my foil dinners. But it requires some moisture. Usually I make up the foil packet, leaving one end open, and then pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water in open end and then seal that end up. Unfortunately, it seems like my foil packet is never quite air (or water) tight and the water starts to leak out.
I found a solution. Ice cubes.
Instead of putting water in, put some ice cubes in. It worked great. Now the water doesn't run out, and the cubes eventually melt to provide the moisture for the rice. Not only that, but the other vegetables cooked better too.
