Food is an important element, especially for a family. It’s even better when there’s a skilled chef in the kitchen. This article is filled with useful advice on preparing great meals.

When cooking with skewers, be aware of some important facts. Metal skewers will work better if they are twisted or squared.

Keep your spices and herbs in a dark, cool place. Warmth, humidity and light will make them stale and unflavorful. You can plan on ground herbs and spices retaining their potency for a year. Whole spices can keep their flavor for up to five years. If you keep them correctly, they will last a lot longer.

Pie Crust

A pie crust should be baked a little bit longer than you would think. They should not be a pale blond color, they need to be golden brown. The caramelizing of the sugar in pie crust gives it crispness and extra sweetness.

TIP! Getting thin strips of meat is a lot easier if you partially freeze the meat first. This technique is especially useful for the meat slicing styles typically used in Asian cuisine.

Freezing meat will make it more solid, and easier to cut into thin strips. This technique is suited for meats used in many Asian dishes. If you freeze meat partially, you get a cleaner slice, without the stretching or tearing of fibers. Then don’t forget to let the meat strips completely thaw, so it will cook evenly.

It is a good practice to place cut potatoes in a bath of cold water for about half and hour, before frying in order to get crispy fries. Soaking the sliced potatoes in cold water strengthens the potato fibers so they will not break down so much when you fry them in the hot oil.

Cook Vegetables

When you cook vegetables quickly over high heat, their quality is best. The longer you cook vegetables, the less flavor and nutrition they have. If you do this, it will provide you a vegetable that is higher in nutritious value. Cooking better vegetables is all about cooking them for the least amount of time possible.

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.

This can be applied on many other foods other than just meat. Seasoned salt can be added to a variety of dishes and snacks, from popcorn and pumpkin seeds to scrambled eggs and vegetables. Simply sprinkling on these kinds of seasonings can turn your dish into an instant hit.

Head to the store and replace your unused spices every six months. Spices do not last forever. They will eventually lose their flavor. If you buy too much of a spice, give it to someone you love!

TIP! When you are planning to make a meal that needs garlic, buy garlic that is fresh. By having fresh garlic, it will taste sweeter.

Make certain all your utensils are cleaned prior to cooking. If your utensils are not completely clean, you run the risk of introducing old food residue into whatever you are cooking. Bacteria will develop and spread on unclean utensils.

All good cooks began by creating easy dishes from simple recipes. The fact is that you do not need a culinary degree to create memorable meals. Anyone in the world can become a good cook. After reading this, you are well equipped to enjoy your first culinary adventure.
