You can not only dip foods in ketchup, but you can also use it to dip foods in before you coat them with breadcrumbs. The ketchup adds a whole new dimension of flavor to fried foods. Organization while cooking is necessary in order to avoid disasters, like under done or burnt food. An organized cooking station is a productive cooking station. If you are unorganized, it is easy to lose track of things and waste your money and delicious food that you could have been eating!
