Food is a vital element to life. Food should be way more than just a form of sustenance. Even better than eating something wonderful is cooking something wonderful. Here are a couple tips to help take your cooking expertise to a whole new level.

TIP! Cool, dark and dry places are ideal for keeping herbs and spices. They will not taste as fresh if they are exposed to light or warmth.

When baking crust for pie or tarts, leave them in the oven to bake a little longer than you planned. They should be golden caramel in color instead of pale blonde. This golden color means that the sugar has caramelized, leaving a sweet flavor.

Meat can easily be sliced into thin strips if it is partially frozen. This is great to do when you need to slice meat thinly for Chinese or Thai meals. Partially freezing meat keep the fibers in meat from stretching and tearing resulting in perfectly sliced strips. Allow the meat to thaw prior to cooking though, so that it can cook evenly.

TIP! Invest in a knife sharpener to make cutting any ingredient simple. The duller the knife, the more difficult your kitchen task will be.

Always taste test what you are cooking to check the seasoning. Meats such as meatballs, hamburgers and meatloaf need to be seasoned carefully. You should not cook the dish entirely after seasoning it. Take a small portion and cook it so you can give it a taste before your final seasoning. The aroma of the food as it cooks will also give you a clue to the amount of seasoning you need to add.

Much like a sponge, the mushrooms will absorb the water. Get a soft, clean and wet cloth to wipe the dirt off each individual mushroom for better results.

TIP! Making a meal for someone important, such as a romantic partner or a boss, is not the time to experiment with new dishes. You don’t ever want to try new ingredients or recipes that you don’t have experience with.

Use airtight containers for storing flour, sugar, and baking mixes in the kitchen. Putting your food in these kinds of containers will prevent insects from getting into the food and prevent them from going bad from air exposure. You can get them at a number of places and are well worth the small amount of money.

Beans and tofu contain a lot of proteins. Both can be purchased at just about any grocery store. You can fry tofu or add it to soups, seasoned well, for a yummy protein alternative. Boil the beans with herbs to make a tasty protein-filled dish.

TIP! Do you love to cook with fresh basil? Keep a fresh-cut bunch of basil inside a glass. Pour enough water in to cover up the stems.

Going over labels on ingredients for what you’re going to make to eat is important to do. Lots of the time, cooking supplies have hidden ingredients that may be bad for your health. You need to know how much sugars and sodium are in the ingredients because they can cause health problems if you consume too much of them.

Learn to have fun when you cook; you may find that you enjoy it even more than eating. Use these tips and have them be a part of your stock, adding little touches here and there as you go on. Your skills will get better and people will bug you to cook for them!
