Can I bake chicken in a pyrex without tinfoil?

I’m not sure why you’d need foil in the first place, I never use it for that. Is it lining the pan, or covering it? If the former, just use butter or oil or non-stick spray to keep it from sticking. If the latter, well, I don’t know. How are you planning to prepare it?

Of course you can. Just rub oil or butter on the pan to keep it from sticking.

Oh ok. I use it to line it, because I just thought I had to lol.

Nah, don’t waste the foil…

Yeah that is a big waste. Oops :/

Thanks a lot!

Yes, but you would not be able to foil Aliens from reading your thoughts without a tinfoil hat while chicken baking. : )

With regards to foil lining a Pyrex…I denno but it seems it’s easier to clean it foiled. Heh.

“Curses – foiled again,” said the Pyrex.

Lol.

While I’m here: what and when is the purpose of making that tinfoil hut around the meat to bake it. I’ve seen people do it with fish.

Keeps it from drying out.

Being the breast, so there’s not alot of fat, I’d cover it with a strip of bacon and check it ½ way through baking to make sure it’s not drying out, if it shows signs of drying, flip it over for the rest of the bake time.

Cool, thanks everyone :)

Certainly!

Would you guys like some chicken breast, marinated in spicy ginger sauce with rice and vegetables?

Yes and if you have ovenproof dishes you can also cook your chicken breast in a bowl with a plate over the top as a lid and make a “crock” cooked dish if you want to add some vegies and stuff to cook up in the chicken juices or to add flavor as they roast to the chicken.

@Neizvestnaya Whoa….....

You could use a cookie sheet on top if you need to.

I’d just like to note that the question immediately about this one is What is the cutest thing a child has ever said/done to you?, and when I read this question, I saw it as:

“Can I bake children in a pyrex without tinfoil?”

@SmashTheState : Well, you can, but unless they’re really plump they’ll dry out and get tough and stringy. A crock pot is a good option. ;-)

Hahahah! I cringed…....

Not only can you, you should! Aluminum is a neuro-toxin, after all.

Of course, I sometimes use foil to cover it, trapping in heat and steam. I probably shouldn’t, but it does make it come out really juicy. I should probably just get a lid that is oven safe.

If you had tin foil you could put it on your head and it would act as an antennae and you could cook your chicken without the use of an oven.
