Cooking really isn’t all that hard. Although there are some types of cooking and technique that take years to master, there are many ways to become a great cook without having to step foot into a culinary school. If you love to cook but want to take your food to the next level, check out these tips.
Heat
One of the most common mistakes people can make is not having the right amount of heat on a food, and not warming up your pan beforehand. The first thing to do is to check the recipe if you’re using one and let your pan heat up for a few minutes. Then, add in your fat and let that heat up as well. Finally, you can cook your ingredients.
Salt
A lot of people are afraid of using salt because they don’t want their food tasting salty. But, salt is essential in extracting flavor from your ingredients so use a bit more than you’re comfortable with, making sure to taste along the way.
Chopping
The best way to ensure that your food tastes good throughout is to think about the size you choose to cut your ingredients. If they are uneven, they won’t cook evenly, so beware of the way you cut your ingredients.
