Pork with apples - cooking tricks and useful tips
• It is believed that frozen meat dishes are dry and tasteless. But this is a mistaken opinion of those who did not try to cook pork with apples, and incorrectly prepared the pork pulp for use.
• First - frozen meat should be thawed slowly, in a common refrigerator compartment or in air at room temperature. To accelerate the defrosting, it is impossible to fill with water, with such a thawing pulp will release all its juices.
• Second, pre-marinate the pieces of thawed pulp in a light sauce or any other light marinade.
• If you previously cooked flesh in the oven, and it always turned out dry, try cooking pork with apples not on a baking sheet, but in a sleeve or form under the foil. Baked meat with such cooking always turns juicy.
