Side dishes and dishes
▯
The best side dishes from the oven are based on
potatoes, for example potatoes au gratin.
However, other outstanding side dishes can also
be prepared in the oven, which normally are
prepared in the pan (e.g. potato pancakes or fried
potatoes). The advantages of this tye of
preparation: you can prepare larger quantities at
once, the cooking smells are distributed less in
the room, and you can prepare the dishes with
less fat.
▯
Another versatile side dish from the oven is
cheese. Cheese is an especially good addition to
vegetarian dishes, or you can prepare the cheese
as an appetizer or finger food.
▯
Dishes that are suited for preparation in the oven
are especially dishes that are gratinated, such as
casseroles and gratins. Suitable also are dishes
with a dough base, e.g. pizza or tarte flambée,
and egg dishes such as tortillas.
▯
For small portions (for 2-3 people), use an
ovenproof dish and place it on the wire rack.
Otherwise the food will burn or dry out in the
glass/wire tray.
▯
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for
pre-cooked and frozen products.
