Cooking is an art that can be learned and improved with practice, patience and taste. There are many cooking tips that can help you prepare delicious, healthy and varied dishes. Here are some of them:
- Before you start cooking, wash your hands, utensils and the food you are going to use thoroughly. This way you will avoid contamination and illnesses.
- Read the recipe you are going to follow and make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. It is also a good idea to measure and weigh the quantities in advance.
- Organise your work space and keep it tidy and clean. This will save time and avoid accidents.
- Make the most of seasonal products, which are fresher, cheaper and more nutritious. You can also freeze or preserve leftover food for use on other occasions.
- Use the right heat for each preparation. In general, it is recommended to use high heat for searing, browning or frying, and low or medium heat for cooking, stewing or roasting.
- Respect the cooking times for each food, no more and no less. This will prevent them from burning, drying out or remaining raw.
- Season food with salt, pepper and other spices or aromatic herbs, but do not overdo it. It is better to taste and adjust the flavour than to overdo it and ruin the dish.
- Do not open the oven while something is cooking, as heat can escape and alter the result. If you want to check the doneness, use a thermometer, chopstick or knife.
- Allow food to rest before serving, especially meat, fish and cakes. This will allow the juices, flavours and textures to settle.
- Be creative and experiment with new ingredients, recipes or techniques. This way you can discover new flavours, combinations and possibilities.
Here are some cooking tips that can help you improve your cooking skills.
