MEAT AND CHICKEN

• Steam cooking of products has a lot of advantages, because when cooking, the fat melts from products and drains on the tray. But

before cooking, it is desirable to remove extra fat. Grill meat is perfectly suitable for steam cooking.

• Marinade or pour meat or chicken with sauce before cooking.

• Check the products for readiness, by piercing them.

• Use fresh or dry herbs when cooking products to season them.
