General Tips for Cooking

By Wodumbu Man

Cooking for some people is an enjoyable hobby while for others it is a tedious task that they do not want to do but have to do. It is advisable for one to arm themselves with cooking tips to make the process easier. Prior to starting the cooking process one should prepare everything they need as it will help to make things simpler. For people who want to cook the best mashed potatoes, the potato ricer is a very handy tool they should always have in their kitchen.

It is advisable for one to use a salad spinner if they do not want their salad to get soggy. Varity can be introduced to the salad by the use of green or red leaves. Ovens should be heated way before the cooking starts so that they are hot enough to sear the meats surface and keep the juice within. Spatulas and tongs are the best tools to use as one turns the steaks. Forks should not be used at all.

Steamed veggies are best handled by steamer platforms with ability to sit in pot works and ones that fold. The cook should note that over cooked broccoli is not the best; it should be tender and crisp. Wine that the cook would never touch should not be included among the ingredients. A table spoon of fresh Rosemary leaves can be replaced by a teaspoon of dried Rosemary leaves.

The bulb of the garlic should be sprinkled with pepper, salt, olives and white wine and it should then be wrapped using tin foil and roasted for one hour. The oven used for roasting should three hundred and fifty degrees hot. As they puree the soup one should use a blender (hand) as it is simpler than taking it to the processor. Brine- cured black olives can substitute Kalmata.

Mushrooms should under no circumstances be washed under running water as they tend to take in water. A wiping them using cloth will suffice in cleaning them. Pan juices should only be kept for the gravy when one is roasting. The pan should sit in the middle of the rack and it should have the correct size. Instead of using sugar to sweeten the food one can use carrots.
