Do you ever think that your kitchen feels boring? But approaching cooking as an art in which you want to gain expertise changes how you feel about it. If you like what you’re doing in the kitchen, then going there will be a pleasure. Below are a few ideas to get your hobby started on the right track.

TIP! Spices should be kept somewhere cool and dark. Your spices will not last as long if they are exposed to light, heat or humidity.

If you put your meat in the freezer to make it a little hard, it will be easier to cut into thin strips. This is ideal for Asian meals like Chinese or Thai dishes. Partially frozen meat is easier to slice as the cold temperature prevents the meat fibers from stretching and tearing. Just remember, though, to let the stripped meat completely thaw out before you start cooking. This keeps the meat from cooking unevenly.

Prolonged boiling of vegetables destroys many of the nutrients contained within them. Quick cooking methods like steaming and sauteing will retail flavor and nutrients better. You can also enjoy vegetables in their raw state to get a boost of natural energy!

TIP! If you are cooking an important meal for a significant person, such as a boss or a date, you should not serve a dish you’ve never attempted to cook before. This is not the time for testing new recipes or new ingredients.

Have you felt guilty for throwing out some moldy fruits? Do not cut the rotten part and eat the rest. Never try to salvage fruit that is past its prime. You need to throw them away, as mold tends to grow deeper than the eye can see, and eating moldy foods can make someone quite ill.

Cooking veggies improves the quality of them. If you slow cook your vegetables, they will lose their nutritional value. Vegetables cooked in these ways make healthier side dishes and ingredients in recipes. Cooking vegetables as quickly as possible is key to preserving their nutrients.

TIP! Would you like to cook with fresh basil? Take a bunch of it and place in a glass. With water you then want to cover the stems.

By completing some food preparation ahead of time you can simplify your cooking process. Check recipes to find out what can be prepared ahead of time without risking spoilage. Many different prep tasks can be finished a day or so before cooking the meal. By doing this, your cooking task will be quick and easy – even for very complex recipes.

Mushrooms will soak up a large amount of water. The right way to clean the mushrooms would be by hand, using a clean, wet cloth.

TIP! Mushrooms soak up water that you don’t want to be added to the recipe. So, in order to clean them, wipe off each mushroom with a clean, wet cloth.

Garlic is a popular ingredient that has one notable downside; its trademark scent transfers easily to your skin. Rub your hands thoroughly on the interior of a stainless steel sink after working with garlic or other odoriferous cooking ingredients. This helps clean your hands and keep you from transferring the smell onto your other foods.

When certain recipes call for milk or water, try adding some other liquids that you would see fit to experiment with flavors. For instance, you can use broth, stock, juice or a bit of wine to replace the water in a recipe. If a recipe calls for milk, try using buttermilk, yogurt or sour cream. Changing up the liquids in your recipes can add nutrition, while livening up a standby dish.

TIP! When you plan on using wooden skewers for cooking, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to cooking. This way, you don’t burn them when you are cooking with them.

Use these tips as-is, or spice them up and make them your own. Create food that your whole family can enjoy together. Cooking as a hobby can enrich not only your diet but your life as well. Make your kitchen the core of your house.
