KEY POINTS
When Baking In the Oven, Keep the Following in Mind.

The fact that the top of the food is cooked does not mean that the inside is cooked. Foods cooked at high temperatures in a short time will dry out. Food must be cooked longer at low temperatures for the inside of the food to be properly cooked.
When cakes and pastries are baked-heating the oven is necessary. Do not open the oven door during the bakery rising for at least 20 minutes. To check if the pastry is done, insert a toothpick and test; if the toothpick comes out clean, the pastry is done. This check should be done after 3/4 of the baking time has elapsed.

• Especially when cooking red meat salt is not added beforehand, but halfway through the cooking time. Red meat is cooked at high heat at the beginning and the heat is reduced towards the end.
• For white meat, keep the heat low throughout the cooking process.
• To check if the meat is cooked, press into the meat with a fork. When the fork sinks into the meat, the meat is cooked.

Tips Related to Cooking

• Fire risk due to food not suitable for the grill Only grill the food that can be cooked in intense grill fire. Do not place the food too far back on the grill. This is the hottest location and f food containing fat may catch fire.
