Learning the basics of cooking is the first step you, as a new cook, need to take. Everyone isn’t born with natural talent for preparing food. However, everyone can learn to be a great cook. There a few things you need to know before beginning your journey in cooking. The following article provides you with hints and tips to get you started in developing your new skill.

TIP! When you are cooking a stir-fry, ensure the meat is sliced to be very thin, and cut it on the bias. Some people find it difficult to cut the meat thin, but it is very important.

Keep your spices and herbs in a dark, cool place. Heat, light, and a large amount of humidity can ruin spices and herbs. Herbs and spices generally keep their taste and flavor for about one year. Whole spices have a longer shelf-life and can hold their flavor for about three years. Store your herbs and spices correctly, so that they will stay fresh and keep their full flavor!

Preparation is incredibly important prior to cooking a meal for loved ones. Always have all ingredients before starting to cook. Organize everything so you can start cooking, including the spices and utensils. This means you don’t have to worry when time is short, which means your cooking will be better.

TIP! Do you experience a guilty twinge when you pitch out rotten fruit? Should you cut of the rotten part to save the rest? In truth, half-rotten fruit cannot be salvaged in any safe manner. If you see that fruit is starting to rot, just throw it away because even if some parts look healthy, the mold has most likely already spread throughout.

If your stir fry recipe calls for meat, make sure to slice it very thinly on the bias. It takes a little practice and time to get it right. Remove the meat from the freezer before it is frozen, but when it is solid to touch. Next, position the meat at 45 degrees to the chopping board and slice across the grain with a sharp knife.

Season meat very sparingly to begin with and add more during the cooking process. Burgers, meatloaf and meatballs require proper seasoning to taste their best. Never cook your whole meal without testing the seasoning. Just cook a small piece formed into a patty. You can then either leave as-is, or adjust your seasonings according to your tastes.

TIP! Fresh ingredients are always preferable to dried or frozen ones in all of your recipes. Use fresh foods any time you can, as they bring out the best flavor of the dish, and can be real money-savers too.

Raw potatoes should rest in chilly water for approximately 30 minutes. This will help them to be crispy and delicious. When your potatoes soak up cold fluids, their fibers are reinforced. This means that they will hold up better to the heat necessary for the frying process.

Do you love to cook with fresh basil? If you want to keep it fresh, first place it in a glass. Put enough water into the glass to cover the stems but not the leaves. Put the basil on your counter and it will remain fresh for up to seven days! If you occasionally change its water, it will sprout roots. Trim the basil once in a while so it grows even more and stays fresh.

TIP! If you want the cooking process to be both faster and easier, prepare as much as you can ahead of time. Try looking at recipes and see what can be done in advance without spoiling.

While not everyone is destined to become a great cook, the ability to follow directions is all you need to achieve the status of amateur cook. It’s not as difficult as you might believe. By using the tips that you read in this article, you will soon be on your way to being a whiz in the kitchen!
