1. Cooking 101 - Simple Tips And Tricks To Make You A Better
Chef
Cooking skills are a valuable asset to possess. Homemade foods are very yummy and more
healthy than restaurants, and can save you a lot of money.
If you are frying something, try using ketchup in the batter. Ketchup is a tasty condiment
when used for dipping finished foods, but you can also dip chicken, veggies, or other
breaded foods into it before rolling them in breadcrumbs. The ketchup offers a delicious
flavor to foods you fry, and all your friends will want to know your secret.
Always seek out garlic that is fresh and firm. Garlic is normally sweeter when it is fresh.
Fresh garlic is free of bruises and firm to the touch.
You can fix a pie crust. If your dough has developed cracks, you may have overworked it. Try
placing some cold water within the cracks and using your fingers to gently rub the affected
area. For a crack on the top crust of your pie, brush the dough with egg whites or milk and
then sprinkle some sugar on it. When the pie is done baking, the top crust will be beautifully
glazed, concealing all of the cracks.
To truss a turkey means to tie it up with string. Tying the legs and wings together keeps the
turkey compact, ensuring that it cooks evenly. If the legs and wings aren't tied together, the
tips could burn, cooking much more quickly than the main part of the turkey.
If you don't know much about the vegetable or fruit that you are handling, familiarize yourself
with it. You may find that your research leads to many great new ways to use the food.
Taking the time to learn before starting to cook will leave you with a much happier experience
in the kitchen.
For a simple way to add interest and complexity to your corn on the cob or dinner rolls, try
mixing up a flavored butter. Bring the butter to room temperature, or put it in the microwave
for a few seconds to make it soft. Stir in seasonings like herbs and spices or a sauce to add
some zing. Use a flavoring that complements other components of your meal; lemon, honey
and barbecue are all popular summer flavors.
You can cut cinnamon rolls the easy way. Once you have rolled up the dough for cinnamon
rolls, it can be kind of tough to slice into equal sections before cooking it. One way to simplify
the process of cutting the dough is to put a tough thread under the target area. Another great
idea for cutting dough is to refrigerate it long enough to make it stiff. You will get even slices
this way.
Sometimes we may forget to taste our cooking before adding salt, and end up with too much
of it. Not to worry, though, as this can be fixed. Peel, chop and add a few potatoes to the mix.

2. Let it cook for a little bit. Because potatoes are starchy, they will absorb any excess salt.
When cooking tomato-based dishes, simply add a few more tomatoes to the pot to dilute it
down a bit.
