You want to make certain you have the prep work done ahead of time. This will simplify matters when you are cooking your meals.

When cooking a large meal for a family gathering or dinner party, preparation is key. Gather all the ingredients beforehand. Check the day before you start to cook to make sure that you have everything that you need to cook the dish you have planned. This will allay some of your fears and anxiety when it is time to cook the meal.

TIP! Spices should be stored in an area with little light and low temperatures, like a pantry. Exposing spices to heat, humidity, and light will shorten their lifespan.

If your stir fry recipe calls for meat, make sure to slice it very thinly on the bias. This can take up much time and is also somewhat tricky. When the meat is firm, not frozen, slice it across the grain at an angle of 45 degrees.

If you are cooking with oil, do not pour it directly into the middle of the pan. Instead, pour it on the side of the pan, so it will heat before it reaches the food. This will give your food the flavor you crave.

TIP! When you need to add oil and your food is already cooking, add it on the sides of the pan so that it will heat as it rolls towards the food. This will enhance the flavors of the food when you’re done cooking.

When you season meats, try cooking a little piece prior to the entire piece. The meats like meatballs, meatloaf, and hamburgers need careful seasoning. Never prepare the entire amount immediately after seasoning it. Cook a small piece of it first. Then, you can cook the rest of it, or adjust your seasonings as needed.

People often use more apples in fall and winter, but they will spoil if not stored properly. Place apples in plastic bags and keep them in a cool place. Make sure to keep an eye out for rotting apples, because if you have one rotten apple, it will turn all the other apples rotten in no time.

If you have sauce left over after a meal, store the remainder in one or more ice cube trays and let it freeze. Then, at a later date, it is a simple process to reheat the cubes on your stove top in a pan. Nothing to worry about as the sauce will be fine even after it’s been sitting in ice cube trays.

TIP! 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 has little taste of its own, so it will blend right into your potatoes and pick up flavors from whatever other ingredients you use.

For the neophyte cook, every little bit of information helps cultivate those fledgling cooking skills. Try out the tips you’ve just read and see if you can’t make your kitchen endeavors a little more enjoyable and a little more rewarding.
