Advice in using the oven

Traditional cooking

The heat comes from the top like the bottom. It is therefore preferable to use the central slide. If cooking
requires more heat from the top or the bottom, use the upper or lower guide.

Baking cakes

Preheat the oven, unless indicated otherwise, for at least 10 minutes before use. Do not open the oven door
when cooking dishes which must "rise" (eg the soufflés) The jet of cold air would block the "rise" process. To
check if the cake is ready, insert a toothpick into the mixture, if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Wait at
least until ¾ of the cooking time has passed before checking.
As a general rule, remember that a dish that is cooked on the outside but not sufficiently on the inside would
have required a lower temperature and a longer cooking time. If, however, the texture is "dry" it should have
less time to cook at a higher temperature.

Meat cooking

If you want a roast with a nice color, use very little oil.
If the piece is lean, use oil or butter or a little of both. Butter or oil are not necessary if the piece has a layer of
fat.
If the room has a layer of fat on one side only, put it in the oven with this side up, when the fat will melt, it will
melt the down side sufficiently.
Red meat should be removed from the fridge an hour before cooking. Otherwise, the sudden temperature
change would cause that it becomes hard.
Roast (especially if it is composed of red meat) must not be salted at the beginning of cooking as salt causes
the fact that the juice and the blood do not escape from the meat and therefore prevents the formation of a
well-browned crust. It is advisable to salt the outside of the meat just after half of the cooking. Place the roast
in the oven in a deep dish, a deep dish protects from dryness and gives a more progressive cooking.
The meat must be placed in a resistant dish in the oven or directly on the grill, below which the dripping pan
will be inserted to collect the juice, an ingredient for the sauce should only be placed on the flat directly if
cooking time is brief, otherwise it should be added during the last half hour.
Start cooking raw meat at a high temperature, reducing it, finish cooking in depth. The cooking temperature for
the white meat should be moderate throughout cooking. The degree of cooking can be checked by pressing
the meat with a fork. At the end of cooking, it is advisable to wait for at least 15 minutes before cutting the meat
not to lose the flavor.
Before serving, plates can be kept warm in the oven at a minimum temperature.
