TIP! When you are cooking food on skewers, there are some basic guidelines to know. Squared or twisted metal skewers secure the food better than rounded ones.

If you keep herbs and spices handy, make sure you are keeping them in a dark, cool area. Exposure to humidity, light and heat all affect the flavor of your spices. A lot of the time, you can expect an herb or a space to retain flavor for about a year. You may retain your spice’s flavor for about 5 years. They’ll remain fresh longer if stored properly.

If your stir fry recipe calls for meat, make sure to slice it very thinly on the bias. This can be quite tricky and time-consuming. Before the meat is frozen (but when it is firm), pull the meat from the freezer, and slice the meat at a forty-five degree angle.

TIP! You should bake crusts for a longer period of time than you think. Rather than pale blonde, they should have a golden caramel color.

Try this quick trick to salvage your efforts. Mix 1 tablespoon of corn starch and 2 tablespoons of water in a bowl. Slowly add this mixture to your simmering sauce to thicken it up. For sauce that is too thick, add liquid until your sauce is at the desired consistency.

Add cauliflower to your mashes potatoes to make this dish healthier and tastier. Cauliflower has a kind of bland taste that mixes well with potatoes and the other ingredients in them. Cauliflower mashes into the same texture and color as potatoes, so no one will notice, and you you will get the benefits.

TIP! One of the best tips that you can follow when you are using oil is to add it to the sides of your pan upon cooking so when it gets to the food, it is already heated. This will give more flavor to what you are cooking.

Do not assume this ingredient is for meat only. Sprinkle it over popcorn for an evening treat, or add a dash to pasta. It is a simple addition, but the burst of flavor it gives will have everyone raving.

Whatever you may be cooking, using fresh foods is always better than canned, dried, or frozen. Try to use as many fresh ingredients as you can, because they will bring out a lot more flavor in your dish, and they can be a lot less expensive in the long run as well.

Save time and money by freezing leftover sauce in ice cube trays in the freezer. When you need sauce for another meal, you already have individual portions, ready to grab and reheat in a pan. No worries, because the sauce is still quite edible after being frozen in ice cube trays.

TIP! Test a small sample of your seasoned meats prior to cooking the full dish. Take care when seasoning foods like hamburgers, meatloaf or meatballs.

So, the next time have control of your kitchen and a potentially fabulous meal, refer to these tips for some inspiration!
