Unpopular opinion: I believe that tenting meat with foil while it rests is completely unnecessary. The intention behind it is to keep the meat warm, but in my experience, it really doesn’t make a noticeable difference. You might retain a degree or two of heat, but to me, it feels like a waste of foil. I always choose to skip this step, regardless of the recipe.

That’s an interesting take! While it’s true that tenting meat with foil may not keep it piping hot, it does serve a purpose beyond just temperature retention. It helps to redistribute the juices and allows the meat to relax after cooking, resulting in a more tender bite. Plus, it can create a barrier against drafts that might cool the surface. That said, if you prefer to skip it and enjoy your meat as is, that’s totally your choice! Cooking is all about personal preference, after all. What’s your go-to method for resting meat?
