SUMMARY:
- While making scrambled eggs, add some milk and cornstarch mixture to the eggs and whisk everything until smooth. Cornstarch will protect the eggs from turning rubbery and getting overcooked.
- Try toasting your grains in a pan with oil before cooking them. It’ll make the pasta golden and nutty and add some exquisite flavor.
- If you add a spoonful of peanut butter or sweet mustard to your sauces and stews, they’ll have a richer taste.
- By adding corn flour or nacho chips to chili, you can thicken its texture.
- Add half a teaspoon of baking soda to freshly-brewed iced tea, and it won't taste bitter.
- Instead of wasting your time and nerves trying to peel a boiled egg, just cut it in half and spoon the insides out of the shell.
- To avoid wasting tons of time on peeling garlic, put a bulb on the counter and lightly hit the heel of your hand against the top of the bulb.
- Before making a hot sandwich, warm the cheese and the butter to room temperature. This way, it’ll be easier to spread the butter, and the cheese won't dry out during cooking.
- Add breadcrumbs to your burgers before cooking - and you'll save them from crumbling apart when they're on the grill.
- Use broth instead of water while preparing rice and other hot grains. This way, your dish will have a richer flavor.
- When baking something, add a pinch of salt to the batter. It’ll bring out the flavor of your dish.
- While preparing a cup of coffee, add a dash of salt to the coffeepot – it’ll help you get rid of the bitterness.
- Roast your white chocolate and get some nutty golden goodness with a heavenly smell!
- You can toast white sugar to give it a light caramel flavor before using it in your favorite recipes.
- To make the meat softer, marinate it in a mixture of corn starch and egg whites.
- Toss cumin or black pepper in a medium-heated pan to enhance their taste and extract natural flavor.
- Before cooking vegetable cream soup, fry the vegetables in olive oil. It’ll caramelize the sugar contained in the vegetables, and their flavor will become more prominent.
- If you put a bowl of water into the oven along with your pastry, the resulting steam will take care of this problem, and the crust will be crispy and light.
