Side dishes and dishes
▯
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
pancakes or 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; or 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.
tortillas, are also suitable.
▯
For small portions (for 2-3 people), use an ovenproof
dish and place it on the wire rack. If you use the glass
dish/grill tray, small portions will start to burn or dry
out.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for pre-
cooked and frozen products.
