Can I use foil to cover individual Christmas puddings during cooking?!
Answers:
I wouldn't recommend cooking and storing the puddings in aluminium foil as the fruit reacts with the foil!. It is far preferable to use greaseproof paper topped with a layer of foil!. Take two sheets of greaseproof paper and top with one of foil, make a pleat in the middle to allow for expansion during cooking and cover the puddings, foil side uppermost, and tie securely with string!.

Yes but you should cover with greased greaseproof paper first then loosely wrap over with foil to allow the mixture to expand(which it will do)
The best way to cook individual puddings is in the microwave if you have plastic moulds because then you have a very short cooking time & do not have the problem of the mixture drying out or burning!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes though you are best using a little greaseproof paper underneath!. I have also used cling film, but only when steaming, not if using microwave!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
