Weck Tulip Jar With Glass Lid Cl 58

Weck's line of jars with lids is a line designed primarily for cooking directly in them, thanks to the recipes for potting (read below to learn more).

So not only for those who need to store food but also for those who want to display their delicacies on shelves, counters or shelves.
The latest trend in the city is to serve mousses, mayonnaise or sauces to accompany the dish rather than cream on the side in delicious desserts.

As for the bartending world, it is interesting to use it to display and contain the seeds that are used for cocktails rather than going so far as to serve a homemade cocktail inside!

Vasocottura, or "cooking in jars" as it is called, consists precisely of cooking and serving food directly in glass jars on the table.

2) What can be cooked in Vasocottura?

Virtually anything can be placed inside the jars, seasoned as desired, and put into cooking. however, it must be kept in mind that the ingredients inserted must have the same cooking time, since it is NOT possible to open the jars to insert other ingredients once you are up to temperature. if, for example, you want to combine clams with potatoes, it is necessary that the latter are already pre-cooked, otherwise you will find an inedible dish.

3) What are the advantages of Vasocottura?

• Based on the principle that all the ingredients are cooked in a hermetically sealed jar, you will keep all the flavors inside, without dispersion. In fact, it is like cooking in a "super foil."
• By cooking in an airtight environment and with quick cooking, the colors of the ingredients, especially the vegetables, will be kept vivid.
• For those who like super-fast cooking, jar+microwave can work wonders.
• Serving dishes inside jars (of course if they are pretty and not post-war remnants) has an undoubtedly scenic effect.

4) What cooking do I use for the jars?

Depending on the recipe you want to prepare, you can microwave the jars for very fast cooking. Alternatively, you can use the regular oven, at medium or low temperature. it is also possible to bake in a bain-marie, soaking the jars in 2/3 of the water.

5) how to consume or store food cooked in glass jars?

The ideal is obviously to consume immediately. However, it is necessary that the jar has warmed up, otherwise it is impossible to open it without the pressure inside doing great damage.
If you want to preserve food, be aware that once the jar has cooled, the classic "vacuum" is formed, which helps in no small way in preservation. Therefore, your jar can safely stay in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

6) How can I start with my first jar?

To start with something very simple, you can try cooking vegetables.
For example, try artichokes or asparagus, both of which should be hulled in acidulated water, placed in the jar and seasoned properly with oil and herbs. Cooking will take place in the microwave for 5-6 minutes at a power of 700/800 W
