Many people find slicing meat into thin strips very difficult; however, if you partially freeze the meat, the task is much simpler. This is a good way to cut strips for Asian dishes, such as Chinese and Thai. Uncooked meat is easier to cut when it is partially frozen. However, the meat strips should be thawed to assure even cooking.

TIP! Stir-fry recipes require meat to be sliced very thin and at an angle to the grain. This is not easy to do and could take some time.

Fresh apples can be a delicious ingredient for a wide variety of recipes. Apples are extremely perishable. In a warm, dry environment, they will quickly go bad. Store your apples in an airtight container in a cool, preferably humid place. You’ll want to monitor them, though, because if one goes bad, it can cause the all the others to spoil also.

Mashed Potatoes

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 also maximizes the flavor of whatever you are cooking.

A nutritious way to reduce the calories from your mashed potatoes is to replace some of the potatoes with 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. As a bonus, cauliflower is the same texture and color as potatoes, so no one will be the wiser when you improve the nutritional content and lower the caloric content of your mashed potatoes.

One good way to store extra sauce is to freeze it using ice cube trays. This makes it easier for you to make a quick meal which you can reheat at a later time. Don’t worry; the sauce will taste delicious after being frozen in an ice cube tray!

TIP! However, there is a way that your efforts can be saved and the sauce still used. In a small bowl, combine two tablespoons of water and 3 teaspoons of corn starch.

Always soak skewers in water for 30 minutes before loading them with food and cooking. This will help to prevent burning when they are cooking. To prevent food from falling from the skewers, use two parallel skewers rather than just one.

Sauteing vegetables is an extremely healthy method of cooking them. Consider adding chicken broth for some added flavor. Broth will fill your dish with flavor. This cooking method also allows you to eliminate unhealthy oils. This method of cooking vegetables will be tasty and rich in nutrients.

TIP! If you do any lengthy cooking process like boiling, many of the nutrients will be cooked out. Vegetables are healthiest when eaten raw, and by steaming and sauteing them, less nutrients are removed.

When cooking, less is often more. Stick with simple recipes and you can have a delicious and healthy meal. Using the tips here, you can go forward with a better understanding of cooking and make every meal a little better.
