The Purpose of Baking
There are many reasons why you should chose baking to cook your meat:  
• To make foods crisp and coloured. Image showing baked meat pie
• To add variety to the menu.
• To reduce the percentage of fat or oil used in the cooking process.
• To render food attractive by colour and texture derived from the glazing and baking process.
• To achieve the correct formulation of ingredient balance in complex recipes. For example quiches, pies, tartes, en- papiotte dishes.
