Tips for cooking

The amount of lasagna or sauce may vary depending on the size and shape of the heat-resistant container. Please adjust accordingly. Please use tomato puree, diced tomatoes, or whole tomatoes for canned tomatoes. Remove bay leaf when adding meat sauce. The heat varies depending on your oven, so please adjust the baking time when the surface starts to burn. Be sure to preheat the oven before baking. If the oven does not have a preheating function, set the temperature and cook for 10 minutes before baking. The heat may vary depending on the type of oven you are using and the age of use. Be sure to adjust the baking time as a guide. If it browns too much, cover it with aluminum foil.
