Making meals every day can get boring quickly. It’s time for you to learn more about cooking to spice up your life! After all, cooking does not only entail preparing delicious meals, but it could also be an enjoyable activity as well. These are some nice culinary tips to get started.

TIP! Store herbs and spices in an area that is cool and dark. If they get exposed to any light, humidity or heat, their flavor will begin to weaken.

People mainly use plenty of apples in cooking during the winter and fall months, but if not stored properly they quickly go bad. Store them in your fridge or basement, in plastic bags that are loosely tied, as they tend to spoil in dry warm areas. Make sure you watch them, though, because if even one is rotting, it can cause the whole lot to spoil.

One way to make mashed potatoes retain their taste but contain a little less fat and calories is to replace some of them with equal amounts of cauliflower. Cauliflower’s bland taste makes it easier for it to blend with the potatoes, so that you can’t taste it, and it picks up other ingredients. Additionally, cauliflower has the same texture and color as mashed potatoes, so it makes it an easy, healthy addition to your dish.

Fresh Ingredients

Fresh ingredients are better than frozen or dried, regardless of what you cook. Your recipe will be more flavorful if you use fresh ingredients, and the cost can be lower as well.

TIP! Make slicing meat into strips easier by partially freezing it. This is ideal for Asian meals like Chinese or Thai dishes.

If you’ve made a big pot of sauce, freeze the leftovers by pouring the extra sauce into ice cube trays. Then, at a later date, it is a simple process to reheat the cubes on your stove top in a pan. The frozen sauce will keep extremely well until the next time you need it!

When storing baking ingredients, such as flour and sugar, be sure to store them in air-tight food containers. When you transfer these foods to airtight containers, you are not only protecting them from bugs and bacteria, you are also helping them remain fresh longer. These containers are affordable and are available at most grocery stores.

Chicken Stock

Optimize your efforts when making your own chicken stock. Make enough so that you can freeze it and use it in your recipes. You can use your homemade chicken stock for soups, casseroles and stews. First, cool the stock and then stick it in the freezer.

TIP! Do you enjoy flavoring your food with fresh basil? Gather a small bunch of freshly cut basil and place it in a glass. Add some water to cover the stems.

Anytime you are cooking a dish that calls for substantial seasoning, try to add spices gradually throughout the process rather than all at once at the very start. This technique will give you a lot more flavor for the same amount of seasoning, giving you tastier food without wasting ingredients.

By using the advice provided to you, you may find cooking to be an interesting activity. Cooking can be very enjoyable, and you can learn much about food in the process. You may even learn something new about yourself through cooking. As you begin to learn the basics of cooking, start experimenting with different ingredients and spices.
