9 EASY TIPS to Improve Your Cooking!
Here are 9 EASY and QUICK cooking tips that will help you focus your inner chef next time you need to cook to impress!
- Use spinach to make anything look green
Since spinach has little flavor it can be added when green color is needed without changing the taste!
- Put Lemon or Lime in Cavity when Roasting a Chicken.
The lemon steams and flavors the chicken from the inside, this provides a great flavor and makes the meat more tender.
- Soak Chicken in Buttermilk to Make it Extra Supple.
Also you can add any seasoning to the buttermilk to flavor the chicken. Let the chicken marinate in this overnight.
- Peal Asparagus then Cure in Salt and Sugar!
Try pealing asparagus, then cure it in salt and sugar, this will draw out moisture, which leads to an extra crunchy texture for the asparagus.
- Preheat Pan or Wok for 10 minutes!
If you are trying to preheat a pan or wok, preheat it for 10 minutes to really make sure it is VERY hot to bring out the bold flavors!
- Don’t Put Oil in Pasta Water!
This is a common mistake, but there is simply no reason to put oil in the water when cooking pasta. Instead add seasoning into the water, you’ll notice the difference. Also, use a really big pot with extra space in the water. This allows the pasta to be moved around by the boiling water and keeps it separated.
- Use plain white plates!
For a professional looking dish, use nice class white plates, do not fill the entire plate. Leave space around the outside of the plate. Height, texture and color of food are the important elements for a great look !
- Crème Fraîche in Your Eggs
Like your eggs fully cooked? Add a bit of crème fraîche for that extra smooth texture!
- Sauces Sell the Look
Sauces are the most important thing on a plate when it comes to presentation! Add really cold butter at end of cooking process when cooking sauces and it makes the sauce more glossy looking and thickens it!
