Master the art of cooking with expert tips, techniques and
kitchen wisdom that will elevate your culinary skills.
Keep knives sharp for safer cutting. Use the "claw grip" with your non-cutting hand to protect fingers. Practice the rocking motion for consistent cuts.
Season in layers throughout cooking, not just at the end. Taste frequently and adjust. Salt enhances other flavors.
High heat for searing, medium for pan frying, low for simmering. Let pans preheat before adding food.
Prepare all ingredients before cooking (everything in its place). Keep workspace clean and organized for efficiency.
Wash hands frequently, separate raw and cooked foods, and store at proper temperatures to prevent illness.
Choose fresh, seasonal ingredients when possible. Know how to identify quality produce and proteins.
Quick cooking in a small amount of fat over high heat. Keep food moving for even cooking.
Slow cooking in liquid. Brown first, then add liquid and cook covered at low temperature.
Dry heat cooking in the oven. Perfect for vegetables, meats, and developing deep flavors.
Brief boiling followed by ice bath. Preserves color and texture, perfect for vegetables.
High heat cooking over direct flame or coals. Creates distinctive char marks and smoky flavors.
Gentle cooking with steam heat. Retains nutrients and natural flavors without added fats.
Gentle simmering in flavored liquid. Perfect for delicate items like eggs and fish.
Fast cooking over very high heat with constant stirring. Keeps vegetables crisp and colorful.
Dry heat cooking in enclosed oven. Essential for breads, pastries, and casseroles.
High heat browning to create flavorful crust. Locks in juices and develops rich colors.
