What are you baking?
Try a casserole dish, with aluminum foil with itDon't risk or test anything else because all that works are baking sheets, casserole dishes or glass pans in the ovenYou don't want a fire! You could also try those aluminum pans, like the pie plates or there are even trays like that that are good prices at the store or dollar storeLook in the baking area, you'll see themYou should always stick to using butter or flour for bakingOil is too dangerous sometimes.
The way I have always done it is with out foil, on a cookie sheet with a rock salt bed, wash the potatos, rub with oil a sprinkle of salt and pepper and put them in a 350 oven for 45 mins or til fork tenderI like my skin crispy thoughFor a potato packet on the grill, take 2 sheets of your foil fold together lenght wise so they form one big sheet of foil, spray the DULL inside portion of your foil with cooking spray and add your diced potatos, season how you will, add a nob of butter or butter of choice,Fold the foil around the potatos and squeeze the sides shut so they basicly steam insideBake/grill til fork tender, and enjoy
