Mastering some basic cooking skills is necessary if you want to successfully prepare your favorite meals, and be safe in the kitchen while you’re doing that. These are some basic skills every food enthusiast should learn.
Sharpening a Knife
You literally cannot do anything in the kitchen if your knives are dull. Learning how to sharpen a knife may sound intimidating at first, but you can do this with a knife steel in only a few minuets, and then the meal prepping will be so much easier.
Cooking the Perfect Pasta
Cooking pasta seems like an easy thing to do—and it really is. However, if you want your pasta to be really flavorful, there are a few tricks you should master. For example, adding salt when the water comes to a boil and before adding pasta—not after—is going to make you pasta more delicious.
Mastering Knife Skills
Learning how to do some basic cuts—such as mincing or dicing—can truly up your cooking game. Once you master how to properly hold your knife and cut the food, your meal prep will be much faster, and you’ll also be safer in the kitchen.
