5 Basic Cooking Tips For Beginners I used to spend hours in the kitchen watching and helping my mother cook for the family. As I got older my love and passion for cooking never seemed to waiver and the influence from her has helped me tremendously over the years.

This Goan Crab Curry Recipe is really a very tasty and delicious recipe everyone in my family really loves it and if you too want to try this recipe you can get it from the Quichentell website they have really given the steps and method of the recipe so well there. I don't regard myself has an expert and have always been willing to learn and pick up advice, tips and techniques from people who have more knowledge than me about different aspects of cooking. However much of the early advice, tips and techniques about cooking was passed on to me from my mother and this is where I learnt the basics about cooking, which is as relevant today as it was when I was younger. The list below includes much of that advice given to me which I would like to share with you. 1. Keep Things Simple Keep things simple, don't attempt complicated recipes without first trying very basic cooking recipes. In other words don't run before you can walk! 2. Read the Recipe Always read the recipe first and I don't mean just skim read it. Read it properly from start to finish, several times over so you know exactly what is required with regards to ingredients and using correct utensils such as pots, pans and dishes.


3. Use the Correct Amount of Ingredients Don't guess the amount of ingredients you require for a recipe, make sure you use measuring scales for dry ingredients and a measuring jug for liquids. More than often using incorrect amounts of ingredients in a recipe can have a disastrous effect on the outcome of your cooking. It's fair to say that most recipes contents are flexible and most experienced cooks will know whether a recipe will work or not with a variation on the amount of ingredients, however I would suggest if you are a novice or beginner cook, don't deviate from the recipes instructions. 4. Don't Try To Be Perfect Never be hard on yourself when attempting new recipes, always do the best you can and don't try to be perfect, because I'm afraid nothing and nobody is perfect, even those celebrity chef's we all see on TV. Believe it or not they mess up recipes just like the rest of us.

Quichentell provides very easy methods of all recipes on their sites so well. I was browsing the internet for Keema Pulao Recipe and came across their site. I could make this delicious recipe all because of the easy methods they provided on their website. If you too wish to make this recipe for your family do visit their sites. 5. Pre-heat Pots and Pans I was always taught that before beginning the process of cooking any food, was to make sure that the pots and pans were heated properly first. The reason being is that it saves time whilst cooking and also reduces the risk of food sticking to the pots or pans. Having said that there many varied opinions on this subject and what I would say is that it's really trial and error if you decide to use a cold pan.
