Tips
- For mashed potatoes, mix with hot milk to make them more tender, creamy, and lump-free.
- For steak, dry with a paper towel before putting it in the pan to achieve a golden, delicious crust.
- For onions, add a pinch of baking soda to the dressing to caramelize and turn them golden in a few minutes.
- For pasta, add salt to the water only when it boils so it can absorb the seasoning better.
- For cookies, sprinkle with a pinch of salt when taking them out of the oven to bring out the chocolate flavor.
- For vegetables, dip them in ice water after cooking to stop the cooking process and retain their bright color.
- For rice, use boiling water to cook it evenly and make it fluffy.
- For popcorn, soak in water for 10 minutes before frying to make it puff up and become huge.
- For garlic, bake it whole with the skin on and olive oil in the oven to turn it into a sweet and delicious paste for bread.
- For chicken, marinate in plain yogurt before frying to make it very tender and juicy.
