If you’re looking for ways to improve your game in the kitchen without having to learn a complicated technique or invest in expensive tools, here are some cooking tips that you’ll want to hear about. They’re small but mighty, and they make a big difference.
Learn to Deglaze
Deglazing means adding liquid to a hot pan in order to loosen up the caramelized bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. You can do it with lots of liquids including stock, wine, and vinegar, and it adds so much flavor to your dish.
Things Continue Cooking
It’s important to know that your food will continue to cook on its hot pan even after you turn the heat off, so go ahead and remove your baked goods from the oven or your meat from the stove a couple of minutes early. They’ll cook the rest of the way while they’re resting.
Taste As You Go
Too many of us have a tendency to follow recipes blindly. After all, the recipe creator knows what they’re doing, right? But everybody’s preferences are different, so it’s important to taste your food as you cook and adjust the flavors according to what you like. Ultimately, you’ll be the one eating it.
