Beginner-friendly tips

Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.

Before filling, check the stuffing is properly prepared or pre-cooked as the recipe requires. Mix it in a bowl, not inside the vegetable.
Leave a little space if the stuffing will absorb liquid during baking. Nestle stuffed vegetables closely so they stay upright.
Pierce the thickest part with a fork at the end. The filling should be hot throughout and the vegetable shell tender.
