Browning agents

After more than 15 minutes cooking time food acquires a brownness, although this is not comparable to the deep brownness and crispness obtained through conventional cooking. In order to obtain an appetising brown colour you can use browning agents. For the most part they simultaneously act as seasoning agents. In the following table you will find some suggestions for substances you might use for browning and some of the uses to which you might put them.

Using a food thermometer to determine cooking times

Once cooked, every drink and every foodstuff has a certain internal temperature at which the cooking process can be switched off and the food will be cooked. The internal temperature can be ascertained with a food thermometer. The most important temperatures are specified in the temperature table.
