Useful tips for roast pork, porcini mushrooms and potatoes
- To make the pork lose less meat juice, it is advisable to cut it with a sharp knife. The easiest way to cut meat is slightly frozen.
- Pork should not be soaked in water, it is only passed through a stream of flowing water.
- Salt the meat before stewing, not during frying. Salt draws juice out of it, making it less juicy.
- The frozen pork is washed with cold water, and left in a container under a closed lid before thawing.
- The meat is washed in one large piece so that the nutrients are not washed out of it with water. And only then cut it across the fibers in portions.
Note: if dried porcini mushrooms seem too expensive, then they can be replaced with any other types or ordinary champignons.
