The oven is an excellent way to prepare roasts of meat, fish, pizzas ... in an easy and healthy way. These are just some small tips and practical tricks that, with the help of Fagor appliances, we offer you to get the most out of it :

• When making a  pizza it  is very easy for tomato sauce to come out of the oven tray, staining it. You can avoid it by placing some aluminum foil, which does not stick. That way you'll have the oven clean.

• If you are preparing a piece of chicken , turkey or other roasted poultry, put half an onion inside before putting it in the oven. It will be more juicy.

• To make the baked fish more tasty and not dry, use a bit of mayonnaise instead of oil, as is usually the case. In addition, with this simple trick you will enhance its flavor.
• The fish will be more crunchy if you sprinkle it with a bit of bread crumbs and pour over it a splash of melted butter . Then you can bake as you usually do.

• To prevent any dish you cook in the oven from drying too much, put a container with water in the oven, which will provide a greater degree of moisture inside. This is especially interesting in the case of cooking of poultry and fish meat .

• So that a cake does not deform and rise all the same, stick a macaroni in the center of the dough before putting it to cook. It has to be a macaroni and not another type of pasta because it has a large central hole.

• To know if a sponge cake is made stick a long needle into it . If it comes out dry, it will be ready.

• Try preparing a paella in the oven. While you prepare the sofrito and put the water to boil, heat the oven. When you have everything ready, put the water, the sofrito and the rice in the paellera and put everything in the oven. Look from time to time how it goes (without opening the oven door) and in 20 minutes it will be as rich or more than if you had done it in the fire.

• After roasting the meat , you must rest to relax your muscle fibers, rehydrate the pieces and standardize the color. The meat will be salted when it is already golden, otherwise the juices will be exuded and it will dry out.

• The vegetables (peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, onions or leeks) are very tasty baked. They can be chopped so that the roasting time is less. You can also cook wrapped in a paper that resists the temperature and smeared with a little oil (technique ' papillote ').
