How To Be The Best Cook Around

Do not consider cooking as bothersome. This article will show you how you can do exactly

that.

Many food items leave their odors on cutting boards, which can linger even with vigorous

scrubbing. You should mark your cutting board on the side you will be cutting herbs on.

Unripened fruits should be placed into a plastic bag with holes in it. Ethylene gas is produced

as a by-product of the ripening process. In the perforated plastic bag, the ethylene gas will

stay trapped, allowing the fruit to ripen deliciously.

Don't do all of your seasoning during the cooking process. Some great seasonings to use are

pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt. A lot of people have different preferences in taste

when choosing spices. Instead of putting them on your food let the people eating choose.

This allows each person to make their meal their way.

Use ketchup in batters for fried foods. Not only is ketchup good for dipping food into after

they're cooked, it's also good when you dip food into it before putting them in breadcrumbs.

The tangy flavor of the ketchup adds a nice, unexpected kick to fried foods, and it will leave

your friends begging for the recipe.

Preparing healthy dark green leafy vegetables can be annoying if you don't know how. It can

be tedious work to eliminate the tough stems. A simple way around it is to lengthwise fold the

green in half and try to break the stem at the middle. If not try using a knife to chop out the

stem from the folded leaf. Either of these techniques will result in nice, stem-free leaves.

If your family is complaining about eating the same old corn day in and day out, change it up

a little! Your family will love the Thai flavor when you add coconut flakes to the corn kernels.

Those who like making fish dishes should try taking DIY to the next level and do some fishing

to get their raw ingredients. You will have literally taught yourself to fish and you will feel

great as you prepare a meal that you provided for yourself.

For an easy way to spice up a simple food such as dinner rolls or corn, add in some flavored

butter. Soften your butter by letting it sit at room temperature or popping it in the microwave

for a few seconds. Then you want to add some sauce, herbs or spices to give the butter that

extra kick. Barbeque sauce is good, so is honey or lemon juice.

When you know that the next day will be busy, prepare some components of dinner the night

before. By doing some vegetable chopping, or pre-assembly of dishes the night before, you'll

be a lot less stressed on cooking day.

For better or worse, food is a powerful influence in every life. Implement the things you've

learned to impress people around you.
