Critical Success Points

  • Brown the meat until uniformly colored.
  • Thicken the béchamel correctly without boiling it.
  • Seal the pastries and cigars to prevent filling leaks.
  • Fry the cigars at the correct temperature (180°C) to avoid excessive oil absorption.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil with care; wear kitchen gloves if necessary.
  • Use oven mitts when removing dishes from the oven.
  • Do not leave the béchamel unattended to avoid burning.
