Poultry
▯
For better results, use the core temperature
sensor. Do not place it in the middle (hollow
space), but rather between the belly and upper
thigh. For notes and optimal target temperatures,
see the
Core temperature sensor
chapter.
▯
Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown
if you baste it towards the end of the roasting time
with butter, salted water, drippings or orange
juice.
▯
When cooking duck or goose, pierce the skin on
the underside of the wings to allow the fat to run
out.
▯
Use a roasting dish or another heat-resistant pan
for dishes that generate a lot of liquid for
roasting. The same applies if a lot of fat can run
out of the food, e.g. with roast goose.
