Cooking like a pro can be difficult, especially if you don’t have a lot of time on your hands. But with these 5 simple food hacks, your cooking can be transformed over night. If you don’t already do these, start today and see what happens…
Add Salt
If your food tastes bland, it probably just needs salt. The key to flavorful food is to season with salt at every stage of the cooking process and at the end.
Add Cold Butter to Sauces
To make rich, creamy restaurant quality sauces—mix in cubes of cold butter before serving them.
Deglaze Pans
Rather than scrubbing off the burnt food on the base of pans, deglaze them with wine or stock. This washes the pans but keeps all the flavors in there. Anything you cook in the future will then keep tasting better and better.
Let Meats Dry
The trick to crispy and succulent meat is to dry them completely out before cooking them. You can do this by patting them with paper towels or letting them air dry.
Cook Eggs on a Low Heat
The best way to cook eggs so they’re not dry, rubbery or brown is to make sure the pan is not too hot when you’re cooking them. For perfect eggs, cook over a low heat.
