Experienced Cooking Tips

In order not to spoil a festive or large family dinner, it is recommended to take into account several nuances of cooking a goose with apples:

  1. Since the bird is stewed or baked for a long time, it is better to cover it with foil if the carcass is located on a baking sheet. This will protect the crust from burning. But when the bird is made on a spit, it is important to install a baking sheet with water below. Due to this, the released fat will not start to burn, and the meat itself will turn out more tender.
  2. When baking a whole carcass, it is not necessary to make incisions on the surface, which are needed when frying goose brisket in a pan. The fact is that the skin in the oven will stretch very tight, which means it will become soft and will most likely burst. And you should not help her!
  3. If the carcass starts with something, it is recommended to sew up a hole tightly or fix in another way a hole through which then the entire filling can fall onto the baking sheet.
  4. A lot of fat is usually released from the goose. What to do with him? It can be additionally melted in a saucepan, poured into a glass jar and stored on a refrigerator, using as fat for frying other dishes.

These are the tips of experienced culinary experts who will definitely help in creating a very tasty, but not simple dish from a whole or a goose sorted into pieces.
