When cooking or preparing for someone important such as your boss or a new date it is best to cook food that you are good at. Never try to cook a new recipe or use a new ingredient that you have not tried before. This will make cooking less stressful.
To take the metallic taste out of canned pumpkin pie filling, heat the filling with all of your spices first. Simply mixing your filling with the other ingredients and then baking traps the metallic taste in your finished pie. But by heating your pumpkin filling alone with the spices first, you release the metallic taste of the filling and simultaneously imbue it with the richer taste of spices like nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger.
Do all the prep work ahead of time. It is important to have all the prep work done before you start cooking. However, when you are ready to start cooking and have a deadline for when your meal needs to be finished, it can be a bit stressful. Do the prep work as early as you can to avoid stress later.
To get the best sear and the crispiest crust on everything from fish to meats to other pan fried foods, the secret is a hot pan. Getting a nice brown color on your food requires a pan that is as hot as possible before the food hits its surface. Because the exterior of the food cooks first, you get only one chance to create that perfect golden color and crispy texture, so heat your pan and oil for several minutes prior.
Cook your pasta one minute less than the package suggests, then finish cooking it in a pan with sauce. Your pasta will absorb more of the flavor of the sauce without having an over cooked texture. This can be a quick and effective way to prepare a pasta meal.
Indenting the center of a hamburger patty by up to one half inch will prevent bulging during cooking. Just a poke in the middle prior to cooking will allow a more even distribution of heat and will stop your burger from swelling on the top, something most of us are all too familiar with. <a href="http://toasterovenbroilers.com/black-and-decker-toaster-oven-broiler-cto6301/">Black and Decker Toaster Oven Broiler</a>, <a href="http://built-in-bbq.com/">Built in BBQ</a>
If you are looking to reduce the sodium content of the meals you cook, take a careful look at your spice shelf. Many prepared spices are surprisingly high in sodium, whether or not they have a salty taste. And of course, avoid adding regular salt. Look to natural herbs and simpler spices to add flavor without sodium.
