Did you know that
Other flavors can be used to flavor the tuna, such as thyme and marjoram.- Place the jar in a tall, narrow saucepan, then cover with cold water.
- Bring to the heat and cook for 10 minutes from the moment of boiling.
Attention!
It is recommended to insert the jar into cold water and bring it to a boil only afterwards. In fact, if the vase were immersed in boiling water, the glass would tend to break and burst due to the thermal shock.- Remove the jar from the water, taking care to use protective gloves or tongs to avoid burns.
- Bring the jar to the table and open at the moment, releasing all the aromas.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
Did you like the recipe? Clearly you can replicate the cooking pot with other foods as long as they do not require cooking too long. An even more innovative method consists in cooking in the dishwasher, in which the energy of the appliance is used to cook the food in a bain-marie: for this purpose I suggest the soft-boiled egg in the dishwasher.Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
