Cooking Is As Simple As Following Directions Having a fantastic meal at a restaurant can leave you marveling at the chef’s skill and pondering just how that chef prepared it. Maybe you’ve already tried to repeat the dish in your own kitchen. You can use these tips to educate yourself on how to prepare the best meals, and make new ones. Many people find cooking to be a fun, relaxing hobby. There are different kinds of potatoes, and recipes are usually designed for one particular type. Types of potatoes include waxy, mealy and all-purpose. With their crumbly, dry texture, mealy potatoes are great for mashing. Russet potatoes are a common kind of mealy potato. For a popular all-purpose potato, there is Yukon gold. Potatoes that are waxy hold their shape nicely, and are good for boiling and steaming. Waxy potatoes include regular white or red potatoes. Have you ever had feelings of guilt when you have thrown away rotten fruit? Is it alright to cut out the rotten part and save them? Half-rotten fruit is not save worthy. There is no way to use this food without compromising your health. Mold and other potentially dangerous contaminants can be found even in portions of the fruit that look healthy, so you should pitch the whole thing. A quick way to make your food more flavorful is to use beef stock or chicken stock in place of water. You can use bouillon cubes if you do not have any stock handy as a substitute. The dishes you prepare this way have ample moisture, but also receive an additional layer of taste. Start with a fat-free or low-fat soup stock to create a low-fat soup. Also use lean meat and lots of vegetables; this will keep your soup low-fat. When your soup is done cooking, put it in the refrigerator to chill. This will cause the fat to congeal and rise to the top. Once this happens you can easily remove the fat that has hardened and discard. The calorie savings is around 100 per tablespoon you remove. Add winter greens for hearty cold weather meals. Following the first winter frost, greens like collards, broccoli rabe and kale become much sweeter in taste. When choosing the greens, pick the ones with bright, deep color and don’t buy anything that’s yellow or limping. Be careful as you wash these. They can hold a lot of bacteria. Submerge the greens in a bowl of cool water, shake off, and rinse until the water runs clear. Take out the extra fat in your soup/stew. If your stew or soup contains too much fat, allowing it to cool rises the fat to the surface, where it can be removed. Place a cube of ice in a spoon and rub it across the liquid’s surface. You may be surprised to see that the excess fat will accumulate on the surface of the ice cube. You can also blot up the fat with a paper towel. Growing into an exquisite home cook is now in your future. When you begin to realize how different ingredients affect the taste of your food, start experimenting with new recipes. Considering all the various foods that the world’s many cultures provide, there is no end to the combinations you can cook up.
