When using oil, one of the most effective tips to apply is to add the oil onto your pan’s sides so that it’s heated once it arrives to the food. Doing this will give you maximum flavor when your meal is finished cooking.

Mashed Potatoes

To reduce the calories and fat of mashed potatoes, and to avoid sacrificing taste or texture, replace some potatoes with the same amount of cauliflower. Since cauliflower is bland, it will mix right in with the potatoes along with the other ingredients. You’ll still be able to enjoy mashed potatoes, but with less fat and calories!

TIP! When adding oil to cooking food, pour it on the sides of the pan. This way, it will already be heated by the time it reaches the food.

When cooking vegetables, cook them as quickly as possible to keep their nutritional value. If you slow cook your vegetables, they will lose their nutritional value. Speed cooking vegetables also retains the best texture and nutrition. Learning to cook them for the minimum necessary time is the key to better vegetables.

Have you had trouble trying to figure out exactly how long to grill your meats? A meat thermometer can give you a precise temperature, reassuring you that the meat is fully cooked. Think about closing your grill’s lid to cut down on grill time any time you grill meat thicker than an inch and a half.

TIP! Boiling vegetables is a cooking process that decreases valuable nutrients in them. The healthier way to prepare vegetables is by cooking them quickly, such as steaming or sauteing them; the most nutritious way of all is by serving them raw.

When you are planning to use skewers for your cooking, always soak wooden skewers for at least thirty minutes in water prior to use. If you do not do this, your food may cook faster than you want, causing it to burn. You can keep your food on the skewers if you use two sticks parallel instead of just one.

Baking Sheets

TIP! In order to have plenty of fresh fall apples for cooking, store them properly to keep them from spoiling. Heat and oxygen spoil apples, so place them in plastic bags in a cool spot.

When cooking pumpkins, stand the pumpkin so that it is upright. Next, cut it down the middle. On different baking sheets, place a half face down on each one. Sprinkle a small amount of water on the baking sheets, and then bake the pumpkin at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for around an hour.
