The cooking method where food is wrapped in paper or foil and steamed in its own moisture is called what?

• A. En Papullote
• B. En Papillote
• C. Foil Steamed
• D. Parchment Steam

Answer: (A)

En papillote describes wrapping food in parchment paper or foil and cooking it in its own moisture, creating steam inside the packet. The trapped steam cooks the food gently while keeping flavors concentrated and the texture tender. This French term is the standard way cooks refer to this method, and the word papillote is spelled with the i after the p. The other options are generic descriptions and do not use the established culinary term, with the first option also containing a misspelling.
