ARRANGING FOOD The best results are obtained if the food is evenly distributed on the dish. When cooking foods of uneven shapes and thickness (pieces of chicken) place the thinnest or smallest towards the centre of the dish, where they will be heated last. Uneven foods (fish) should be arranged with the tails to the centre of the dish. Protect the tail with small pieces of aluminium foil to prevent over-cooking. [. . . ]
