Mini Oven Beginner's Cookbook

1. Toasted Sandwich

If you have already made your sandwiches, it's a good idea to warm them up in a mini oven. After being heated in the oven, the various aromas of the ingredients in the sandwich can be mixed more evenly, and the toast can be made more crispy. And it's much easier than toasting the toast first and then making the sandwich.

The production steps are as follows:

1. Take three slices of toast bought from the supermarket, and add cucumber slices, boiled eggs, pork floss and other ingredients in turn;

2. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally;

3. Place the sandwiches on a tray in the preheated oven and bake at 180°C for 5 minutes.

2. Baked buns

Baked steamed buns were also an unexpected discovery for me. One morning, I had steamed buns for breakfast, but there were two left. I was very hungry when I got home from get off work in the evening, so I put the steamed buns back in the oven to heat them up. Unexpectedly, they were so delicious. The heating method is the same as for sandwiches. For specific steps, refer to toasted sandwiches.

So I think the magic of the oven is that it can actually make cooked food even more delicious, which often gives me a lot of surprises.

3. Grilled Chicken Wings & Grilled Chicken Legs

?I’ve tried grilling chicken wings before according to a recipe on the Internet, but for some reason, the taste wasn’t that amazing. Until one day, I suddenly had the urge to fry some chicken legs (sometimes I can't resist eating fried food, what a sin), but there were two chicken legs left over and I just left them there. The next day I didn't know what to do with the chicken legs, and suddenly an idea came to me. Why not try baking them in the oven? What happened next was that my husband and I fought for the last piece of chicken leg for a long time, and we were reluctant to finish even the last bite.

The production steps are as follows:

1. Marinate chicken wings or drumsticks with fried chicken ingredients overnight. Pay attention to the key step. It is difficult to make the food taste good by seasoning it yourself, so just use fried chicken ingredients to marinate it, and the failure rate is almost zero. You can buy fried chicken ingredients at the supermarket. I have tried many kinds and the spicy flavor is the best. Of course, if you are confident in your seasoning skills, you can also season it yourself. There are many recipes for New Zealand grilled wings on the Internet, you can also try them.

2. Brush some oil on the chicken legs or wings before grilling. If you like spicy food, you can sprinkle some chili powder on it.

3.Put it in the preheated oven and bake at 200℃ for 40 minutes. After about ten minutes of baking, you can hear the sound of oil popping in the oven. Let me swallow my saliva.

Generally speaking, oils and fats at temperatures above 200°C are prone to produce carcinogens such as benzopyrene, and proteins are also prone to produce nitrosamines. But it is relatively safe below 200℃. Therefore, using an oven instead of going out for a barbecue can satisfy your appetite and protect your health, killing two birds with one stone.
