How to use baking bags. Baking bags: safety, choice, rules of use, recipes Do I need to pierce a baking sleeve

Roasting bags, having appeared in Russia relatively recently, quickly became kitchen helpers for many women. Manufacturers of baking bags assure that with the help of such bags you can easily and quickly prepare tasty and healthy meals. Is it so? How safe is it to cook food in oven bags?

What is a baking bag and how to use it

Baking bag it is made of special materials that can withstand high temperatures and remain inert (i.e. do not interact with the products inside the package and do not emit harmful substances).

On sale you can find baking bags of various shapes and sizes: large bags for baking whole poultry carcasses, smaller bags for cooking baked vegetables, elongated bags for baking fish, etc.

The way to use the baking bags is very simple:

The package is placed on a baking sheet, pan or other container intended for the oven. The edges of the package must be unscrewed by 2-4 cm for the convenience of loading products. Then the ingredients of the dish are placed inside the bag, after which it is tightly closed and fixed with special heat-resistant clips-clamps (usually such clips are sold complete with bags). If there is no clamp, you can tie the bag with thick threads or a ribbon of film cut off from the bag itself. Coming to the top baking bag you need to make several small holes with a toothpick or scissors - for steam to escape.

The package is placed in a preheated oven in such a way that it does not come into contact with the walls of the oven, dividing grids and open flames. Despite the holes made, when the dish is heated, the bag will increase significantly in size - consider this fact when placing it in the oven.

How safe are baking bags?

The most common material in the manufacture baking bags is polyethylene phthalate (PTEF), the English name is Polyester (PET). This material remains inert, does not emit harmful substances and does not melt at temperatures up to 220-230 degrees Celsius.

The safety of cooking in oven bags requires two conditions to be met:

1. Selection of high-quality bags made of PTEF-based film (or other material whose inertness at high temperatures is confirmed by authoritative international studies).

2. Proper use of the bag when cooking. It is important to ensure that the package does not come into contact with the walls of the oven and open fire, do not heat the oven to more than 200 degrees Celsius, do not use the "Grill" mode.

What signs may indicate unsafe use baking bags?

  • A sharp, unpleasant smell when the package is heated (and any smell that is different from the appetizing smells of the cooked dish);
  • Darkening, turbidity of the package, discoloration or loss of transparency when heated (of course, we are not talking about contamination of the package with the ingredients of the dish);
  • Loss of plasticity by the package when heated: if the package has become brittle, breaks easily, “crumbles”, it means that it does not meet quality standards, or the temperature regime was violated during cooking.

Package or sleeve?

The baking sleeve consists of two layers of heat-resistant film glued along the edges. If the sleeve is made of quality materials, it is as safe as baking bags.

What to choose - a sleeve or baking bag? It depends on the specific purpose, on what kind of dish the hostess is preparing. In most cases, the package is still more convenient, since it only needs to be tied on one side, while the likelihood of liquid leakage is lower: sauce, fat, meat or vegetable juice.

In which cases is the baking sleeve more convenient? For example, if the hostess decided to bake a whole large carcass of fish, but there is no package of this size at hand. The advantage of the baking bag is that you can cut off a fragment of any length from it.

A piece is cut off from the sleeve about twenty centimeters longer than the length of the dish being prepared. One end of the sleeve is fixed with a clip or thread, then the components of the dish are placed inside. Having fixed the sleeve on the other side, holes are made in it and placed in the oven.

Are meals cooked in a roasting bag healthy?

Main advantage baking bag(the same can be said about the sleeve) is that the products are cooked in it "in their own juice", without the addition of fat. Therefore, such dishes are less high-calorie than fried foods.

In addition, the dishes in the bag do not burn, they do not form the same ruddy “crust”. Of course, this "crust" gives the dishes an appetizing look, smell and taste, but it contains carcinogens - harmful substances that accumulate in the body. However, housewives who do not adhere to the principles of a healthy diet know how to get a delicious crust, even when preparing a dish in a baking bag. To do this, 15 minutes before the end of baking, the dish is removed from the oven and the bag is cut.

Another plus baking bag- useful trace elements are preserved in the cooked food, which are “washed out” during cooking and remain in the broth, and when frying they are destroyed due to too high temperatures.
