One of the great things about cooking is that there is always a little room for improvement. Even an experienced cook can learn new tips and tricks to make their time in the kitchen more enjoyable. Amateur cooks have to learn tips that make the cooking process more simple. Here, we will give you some great advice to make your cooking adventures more satisfying.
When you are baking pastry crusts, try increasing the cooking time a bit. They should be golden caramel in color instead of pale blonde. The golden color is a sign that the sugars in the crust have finally caramelized.
When you are cooking a stir-fry, ensure the meat is sliced to be very thin, and cut it on the bias. This can take up much time and is also somewhat tricky. Use meat that is firm, but unfrozen, and slice the meat across the grain, at 45 degrees.
If your recipe calls for slicing meat very thin, you can do this most easily by partly freezing the meat first. This technique is especially important if you are making Oriental dishes. The meat holds a tighter form when the it is partially frozen making the strips clean cut with out any stretching of the meat. After you have sliced the meat, allow it to thaw out before cooking. This keeps the meat cooking evenly.
As you are seasoning the meats, break off a tiny piece before you continue to season the rest of it. Many foods such as hamburgers, meatloaf and meatballs need careful and specific seasoning. You do not want to cook the whole thing immediately after seasoning it. Cook a tiny portion of it in the shape of a patty first. This will give you the ability to adjust the seasoning in the rest of the meat if needed.
You can reduce the fat and calorie content of regular mashed potatoes by substituting part of the potatoes with mashed cauliflower. This won’t affect the taste but it adds a handful of nutrition. Cauliflower’s neutral taste means that it blends easily with the flavor of the potatoes, butter and milk. Cauliflowers look very similar to potatoes in texture and color when they are mashed. It will allow you to have a delicious side dish that is healthier and still flavorful.
Fresh Basil
Are you using fresh basil to cook with? Try placing clumps of fresh basil into a clear, glass container. Add water until the stems are covered. Keep it on your counter and it will stay fresh for weeks. Refresh the water quite often, and you will notice that the basil starts to grow roots. If you maintain the basil by trimming the outgrowth, you can get quite a lot of free basil using this method.
Even people who have been cooking for a while can learn tricks that will make cooking simpler and more fun. Inexperienced cooks need a wealth of information when they’re learning how to cook. Cook a nice dish using the preceding tips and notice how your cooking experience has changed now that you have a little more knowledge.
