- 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.
