Side dishes and meals
▯
The best known oven-cooked side dishes are
potato-based, such as potato gratin. However, you
can also obtain excellent results when oven-cooking
side dishes that are normally pan-fried, e.g. potato
fritters and fried potatoes. The advantages of this
preparation method: You can prepare relatively
large quantities of food at the same time, the
cooking smells do not spread so far in the room,
and the food can be prepared using less fat.
▯
Another highly versatile oven-cooked side dish is
cheese. It is a very good addition to vegetarian
dishes in particular; depending on the preparation
method, you can also serve cheese as a starter or
finger food.
▯
Grilled dishes such as bakes and gratins are
particularly well suited to being prepared in the
oven. Dishes with a dough or pastry base, e.g. pizza
and savoury flan, and egg dishes with a filling, e.g.
tortilla, are also suitable.
▯
Use a heat-resistant baking dish or tin for small
portions (2 - 3 people) and place it on the wire rack.
If you use the glass dish/grill tray, small portions
will start to burn or dry out.

In addition, always follow the manufacturer's
instructions for pre-cooked and frozen products.
