Dishes fried in a pan are not always healthy, so often this process is replaced by baking in the oven. The technology of baking is known since antiquity. Ancient culinary specialists used burdock leaves to bake meat - they wrapped it in burdock and put it in ash or put it on a skewer.
Today, everything is simpler, because everyone has an oven. There are also many recipes for baking. In this article, I have collected the most popular recipes for baking pork in the oven at home.
Preparation for cooking
To properly and tasty cook baked meat in the oven, you should carefully prepare:
- Decide on the type and quality of pork.
- Choose a convenient dish.
- Master the technological process, including: the choice of ingredients, temperature, cooking time.
Meat selection
For baking, pork is selected from the soft parts of the carcass. Pieces should be voluminous, not flat. They should not have a lot of internal fat. Ham filet is perfect. It is better to choose bacon pork - it has lean and tender meat, which has a thin layer of pink salted pork fat.
Cookware Selection
For baking, it is recommended to choose dishes with good thermal conductivity and uniform heating. Cast iron baking sheets with non-stick coating or other heavy dishes with a thick bottom and sides with a height of 3-5 cm are suitable. The size of the dishes is selected based on the amount of meat. If it is too small, boiling juice will spill over the edge. If large - the juice may burn out.
Pork preparation
Before use, the pork is washed, then dried with a paper towel. Then processed with spices. Some recipes include pickling, but this is a matter of taste.
Temperature and cooking time
To select the cooking temperature, decide on the final result: pork with or without crisp. This will determine the baking mode: high temperature with a short time or low temperature with a large.
