Leave more place into a packet

Try to have free place into a packet, because ingredients should be cooked evenly. Crevettes, for example, will look like one big rissole. And this food won’t be ready. Please, put ingredients to different packets and cook them carefully. Yes, portion will be small, but you can cook 2, 3 or 4 at a time. And don’t put ingredients on top of each other, put them nearby.

Pressing of meat products

If you want to cook the perfect dish then press meat during chilling. Put ingredient (beef, for example) to form and cover by ice cubes. Put another form on top and replace it into a fridge. Finally you receive excellent appearance of your dish.
