Cooking tips
Don't skimp on the sauce when coating; the skins need to be thoroughly and completely covered with sauce.
When coating, you don't have to place the skins in a mold; instead, place them on plastic wrap. After coating all the skins, you'll need to pull the wrap tightly and then press it down with something. This will require more plastic wrap, but you can avoid using a pan and shape the briquette into any shape you like.
