Among the proper steps to correctly prepare our favorite recipes, maximizing the use of the oven will be very important.

First, we must know that the top part of the oven concentrates the most heat. To gratin or brown just one surface, we should place the rack at the top. When we only want to heat or warm up food, the rack should be moved to the bottom. To cook any dish, especially if we are baking a single item, the dish should be placed on the rack that is right in the middle. This height is generally suitable for any food that requires even cooking in a timely manner.

Regardless of the oven you are using, you should never open the oven door before 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time, unless you are gratin. It is well known that air shocks damage and affect all cooking: meats bleed out, pies flatten, and the temperature inside the oven changes.

Using high-quality ingredients is a key point for turning a simple dish into an excellent delicacy. Good quality not only lies in acquiring the best cuts of meat or a certain exotic fruit or vegetable but also in the freshness, texture, color, and presentation of the product being a clear indicator for its purchase.

Let's also remember that the wine we sometimes include in the preparation of a dish must be of very good quality; we should not use a wine that would not be suitable for drinking.
