Rules for preparing dietary food in the oven
There are 3 main ways to bake dietary dishes in the oven: grilled, open and closed. In the latter case, you can use foil, a special sleeve or dish, as well as baking paper. Each of these types has its own characteristics.
Meat
Meat is most often cooked closed, so it turns out juicier and more flavorful. Special types of cookware are often used: containers with lids or heat-resistant pots.
Features of baking the product:
- The best choice would be boneless meat weighing up to 2 kg (if we are talking about a large piece).
- For 1 kilogram of product, an average of 1 hour in the oven is required. However, a lot depends on the type of meat (beef takes longer to bake than pork).
- To soften the fibers and improve the taste, you can use a marinade.
Important! When roasting a bird open, it is necessary to remove or wrap the phalanges (wing tips) in foil so that they do not burn.
Fish
Most professional chefs recommend not gutting fish before baking, arguing that this will allow it to lose a minimum of its natural juices. However, you can preserve the taste and softness of the meat by simply wrapping it in foil or special paper.
Features of baking the product:
- It is better to cook fish whole, choosing species with large, easily removed bones.
- The marinade will add a piquant taste to the dish and at the same time reduce the cooking time of the product.
- Only fatty varieties (trout, mackerel, sardines) should be baked openly.
The process of marinating fish should not be less than 30-40 minutes.
Vegetables
Baked vegetables are often chosen as a side dish when losing weight.
Features of baking the product:
- All vegetables should be cut into pieces of equal size, this is the only way they will cook evenly.
