- ✓Cook the garlic butter sauce base at 285-300°F (medium-low heat) because garlic burns at 320°F, turning bitter and overpowering the delicate cabbage flavor.technique285-300°F
- ✓Use a 2:1 ratio of chicken broth to heavy cream to prevent the dairy from breaking under the 350°F oven heat while maintaining rich, creamy consistency.ingredient2:1 ratio
