When you want to learn to cook, you have to find a starting point. Not all of us have the natural capability to cook. Once you start feeling more confident in your abilities, try recipes that are more complex and include unfamiliar ingredients. There are important things to know that will help you to become a good cook. There are tips below that can help you start.

TIP! Sharp knives will make cooking so much more efficient. A dull knife will not only make it more difficult to slice and chop your ingredients, but it will also be a hazard to use.

If you are learning to cook for yourself or your family, pick up a cookbook from your bookstore or library. Look for one that has basic, easy recipes that will be fun to cook. Try different recipes until you come up with something that works for you.

Here’s a way to turn that thin sauce around. Put some corn starch into water and mix it in your sauce. Add this mixture to the sauce while it simmers in order to thicken it up. Add the starch slowly and stir the sauce constantly to avoid making it too thick.

TIP! Try to cook the foods that you are talented at when you are cooking for a special event. Don’t attempt cooking experiments or recipes you’ve never tried before.

If you want crispier and crunchier French fries, then soak the potatoes in a bowl of cold water for a period of at least half an hour before use. The potatoes need to soak because the fibers will be reinforced through the cold fluids which in turn makes them fry better. They can handle the heat and not break apart completely.

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 a kind of bland taste that mixes well with potatoes and the other ingredients in them. In addition, cauliflowers can blend into the same texture and color as potatoes, which makes cauliflower an excellent method of adding vegetables and decreasing calories from a mashed potato dish.

TIP! Have you ever had feelings of guilt when you have thrown away rotten fruit? Do you think it’s a good policy to cut off any moldy, rotten parts and save the rest of the fruit? You can’t save a piece of fruit that has begun to rot. Get rid of them quickly, as mold can develop and cause health problems.

If you have sauce left over after a meal, store the remainder in one or more ice cube trays and let it freeze. When you’d like to make a quick and easy meal later on, you just have to pop out a few cubes of sauce and reheat them in a pan. The sauce will be very edible after it comes out of the trays.

Have you wondered if you are overgrilling your meat? Try using a digital meat thermometer to judge when your meat is cooked thoroughly. If you have a thick slice of meat, one that is more than 1.5 inches in thickness, you may want to close the lid of the grill to have the meat cook faster.

TIP! Soaking raw potatoes for 30 minutes prior to frying will produce the crispiest French fries. Doing this increases the strength of the fiber in the potatoes, which means that they don’t break down as quickly during the deep frying phase.

Not everyone can cook but if you follow these suggestions, you can become a better chef. It really is not that complicated. Just keep these tips in handy and you will soon be preparing delicious meals for your family and friends.
