Roast is one of the oldest ways of cooking. Previously, the coals, tandoor, spotlights and ovens were used for baking. Today, for this purpose, they most often use ovens, sometimes miraculous stoves, air grills, and in campaigns they simply use coal from a hot fire.
You can bake almost any product. For example, fish, meat, vegetables, fruits. In general, the art of baking is a science. Here it is necessary to take into account the temperature necessary for a particular product for complete cooking, a cooking method that makes the product as juicy and tasty as possible.
There are those who recommend that before baking, do not clean or gut the fish, because it will be especially juicy and tasty, and provides a complete seal of the fish's own nature.
As for the meat, it is baked in separate pieces, and not whole; In this case, a simple modern invention comes to the rescue: the culinary sheet, which preserves the juiciness of the products baked in it, and also, very importantly, its natural flavor and aroma.
Aluminum foil can be easily found and sold in rolls. The sheet is baked with meat, vegetables, poultry and fish. The most popular and delicious dishes prepared in foil are potatoes with bacon and cheese, beef with mushrooms, chicken with carrots and many others. Some products are also popular, for example, spiced fish, baked poultry, potatoes, which taste like baked in the fire.
To cook in foil, it is necessary to provide the products with a complete seal, which is obtained in the case of a suitable wrap. To do this, place a piece of aluminum foil on the table, spreading the product in half, while closing the other half. The free edges are folded several times, each time you iron the seam. Then, the sheet is crimped in the shape of the product and the bag is placed in the oven.
If everything is done correctly, the dish after cooking will be juicy and aromatic! Product preparation is determined by carbonizing the edges of the sheet. Some experts allow the sheet to be punctured at the end, to accurately determine the degree of preparation.
Very often, the vegetables in the foil are ready in 10-15 minutes of cooking, the fish in the foil is baked in 25 minutes, the chicken is usually ready to eat in 40 minutes and the meat (1 kg ) Cook for about an hour. Aluminum foil dishes are baked on a baking sheet, wire rack or in a pan under the lid, depending on the recipe.
Each type of product has its own specific baking rules. Then, for example, the fish in this case is gutted, cleaned of scales, washed. After drying, cut into pieces, salt them abundantly, batter them in flour with spices and wrap them in aluminum foil.
The gutted chicken carcass is washed and dried, sprinkled with spices and tied with a thread (so that the blade does not break). Then follow the pattern.
Vegetables are peeled, washed, dried and, if necessary, cut into pieces. Slightly salted, wrapped in foil and placed in the oven.
It must be guided by the rule: the higher, the hotter. Therefore, the most tender vegetables (not root vegetables), for example, cauliflower are placed at the bottom, meat products can be placed on top or in an average position.
