Pie Crust

Overdo it a little when you bake a pie crust. Let the crust go beyond light tan to a deeper, golden shade. This color means that the sugar has caramelized within the pie crust and will have a crunchy and sweet flavor.

TIP! When preparing stir-fry dishes, slice meat as thinly as possible and on its bias. This technique is somewhat tricky and can take a little time.

Spices should be stored in an area with little light and low temperatures, like a pantry. Storing them out exposes them to light, excessive heat and humidity, which can reduce their shelf life. If you store your spices in dark place with relatively low temperatures like a pantry, the spices will retain their taste and take longer to spoil. Fresh spices can greatly enhance your meals, making this effort well worth your time.

Garlic is one of the best-loved of all the spices. However, that wonderful aroma can really stick to your hands. After cooking with garlic, rub your hands across a stainless steel table or sink to rid them of the smell. This will help get rid of the smell so that it is not transfered to the next food item that you handle.

TIP! 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.

Save time and money by freezing leftover sauce in ice cube trays in the freezer. Just melt the sauce cubes in a sauce pan when you are ready to prepare dinner. The sauce is still good after it is frozen.

Have you ever struggled to determine the time it takes to grill your meat? Use a digital or other high-quality internal thermometer to check whether your meat is cooked enough. Thicker cuts of meat should be cooked with the grill lid shut, in order to reduce the amount of time cooking and maximize juiciness.

TIP! Adding cauliflower to your mashed potatoes is a great way to reduce the amount of fat and calories they contain. You should use equal portions of potatoes and cauliflower when making this delicious side.

When burgers and other foods become stuck to the grill grates, it can be hard to loosen them without damaging the food. To prevent this, brush the grill with a bit of vegetable oil to keep your foods from sticking.

If you choose the wooden versions of cooking skewers, it is a good idea to immerse them in water, and leave them there for about half an hour before using them. This keeps them from burning up while the food is cooking on them. To ensure that your food stays on the skewers, use two skewers instead of one to hold the food firmly in place.

TIP! Are you using fresh basil to cook with? Gather a small bunch of freshly cut basil and place it in a glass. Cover the stems with water.

It can be fun to gain more cooking information. It can sometimes be as exciting as the eating half of the equation. With what you learned from this article you’re hopefully now able to use a lot of new skills you learned in the kitchen and for your meals! Cooking is a never-ending journey.
