Cooking Tips That Do Not Go Out Of Style

By Monica Clay


You can never know enough about cooking. Some people who enjoy cooking love to share what they know, while others want what they know to be a well guarded secret. Learning from others, however, can make some of the best teachers! This article will share some helpful tips from those with experience.

Being organized is a key step when planning to prepare a meal for family or friends. Ensure that you aren't missing important ingredients before you start cooking. Plan out your cooking the day before. Make sure all the necessary utensils are clean and ready to use. If you have everything ready, you won't be as worried about preparing the meal, and it's more likely to turn out well.

To improve your level of convenience in the kitchen, one of the things that you can do is to freeze the excess sauces that you create in ice cube trays. This will allow you to reheat them when you need sauce again and also to save money on the excess sauce that you kept.

You don't need to go out and buy an expensive gravy for your dish. Instead, save the juices that your meat creates at the bottom of your pan, and use that as the base for a nice gravy. It's a lot cheaper and can taste great. There are many different recipes available that use this juice to make gravy.

A granite surface is great for thawing frozen foods, usually taking less than half of the time necessary for typical counter top thawing because granite absorbs the cold (and heat) of items placed on top of it so granite literally "sucks out" the cold from your frozen foods. Granite is also an amazing surface for pastry preparation when dusted with a little flour. If you can't afford to redo your kitchen in granite, check out a granite dealer for scrap pieces or have a smaller piece cut and polished for a fraction of the cost of remodeling your kitchen.

Layered bar cookies, fudge and chewy brownies often fall apart or get torn up from trying to evenly cut them into squares. A good rotary pizza cutter can be used to accomplish this task without worrying about a sharp knife slipping and causing an injury. Make some light guidelines in your food with the tip of a knife first and follow up with the pizza cutter for perfectly cut bars, brownies and fudge every time.

As expressed in the beginning of the article, you can never know enough about cooking. Hopefully, the information provided has given you some tips that you find helpful while in the kitchen.

Now, it is up to you, will you share it with others, or keep it as your little secret?
