Secrets of delicious dishes: about baking in foil

Baking is one of the most ancient, simple and healthy ways of cooking.

Since all the beneficial properties of products are "sealed" when baked, dishes cooked in the oven can be considered dietary. And the absence or small amount of oil reduces their fat content.

When baking fruits such as apples, pears, quinces, the core and seeds are removed. It is important not to pierce the fruit all the way through. As a result of manipulations with a knife, "cavities" should form, which are filled with syrup or honey.

If you are preparing a dessert for adults, the syrup can be based on wine or liqueur. In this case, foil is used, lining the baking sheet with it.

This way, the fruit is not unrolled into it, but simply laid out on top.

Tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini are baked in a similar manner. The latter are logically cut into pieces and soaked in cold water to remove bitterness.

Tomatoes and peppers are pierced with a toothpick in some places. Vegetables prepared in this way are an excellent basis for a stew.

Just cool them down, cut them into pieces and sprinkle with olive oil.

Potatoes, carrots and onions are recommended to be baked wrapped in foil. Wrapping should be done so that there are no holes left. Moreover, the wrapper should "sit" quite freely. Otherwise, there will be no opportunity for steam circulation.

You can bake fish in foil in a wonderful way. River fish can be baked whole, after thoroughly washing it and cleaning off the scales.

If you dream of a juicy, not over-dried fish, use the following recipe.

Sprinkle a centimeter-thick layer of regular table salt onto the foil, place the fish pieces on top, lemon slices on top, and then cover the fish with a layer of salt.

The seafood in such a “fur coat” is carefully wrapped in foil and placed in the oven for about 40 minutes.

Foil will also save stale bread. Just sprinkle it with a little water, wrap it in foil and put it in a preheated oven for 5-7 minutes. And to prevent pies from burning, their surface can also be covered with foil.

Foil has another wonderful feature - it keeps food fresh. You can wrap cooked meat, sausage, cheese in it to keep it airtight.
