As the new university term begins, many students are going to be cooking for the first time. This can be a baffling experience. Not only can it be difficult to know how or what to cook, but it is also important for a healthy lifestyle that food is cooked properly. Here are 5 simple cooking tips that can help students get started on their culinary journey.
Microwave Garlic for Peeling
For easy garlic peeling, microwave the cloves for 10 seconds. Afterwardת the skin will just fall off, saving you time and improving the quality of your cooking.
Salt in Boiling Water
When you’re boiling pasta, add a few pinches of salt to the water. This will make the pasta taste much nicer.
Use Salt when Cutting Herbs
If you’re cutting herbs on a chopping board, throw some salt onto the surface. This will cause the herbs to stick and prevent them from flying everywhere.
Don’t Overcook Eggs
The trick to cooking perfect eggs is to not overdo it. Fry and scramble eggs over low heat and be patient. As the eggs become firm, remove the heat and serve professional style eggs.
Season Your Food
One of the most important things for tasty food is to make sure you season properly. This means adding enough salt, pepper, and herbs. If your food is bland and tasteless, it probably just needs some more seasoning.
