Top 10 Cooking Tips For A Better Meal Every Time

Here are 10 tips that will help you cook better meals more often.

1. Don’t overcrowd the pan

This is a mistake many people make, especially when cooking meat.

If there is insufficient space between each piece of meat, they’ll all end up steaming instead of searing, and you’ll lose that all-important crust.

So, give each piece a little bit of room to breathe.

When there’s more space in the pan, each piece of meat is exposed to more heat, so it sears better.

And as a bonus, it’s easier to turn and brown all sides evenly.

2. Let red meat sit before cutting into it

This one is significant for steak.

When you cut into a piece of meat that’s just been cooked, all the juices spill out and lose flavor.

Let it sit for 3-5 minutes before cutting into it, so the juices have a chance to redistribute throughout the meat.

This makes for a much tastier steak.

3. Store spices in the correct location

To make better food, you need better spices.

Spices can make or break a dish, so it’s essential to store them properly.

The best way to keep your spices fresh is to store them in a cool, dark place.

A spice rack near the stove is not ideal because heat and light will cause the spices to lose their flavor.

10 Basic Cooking Tricks You Should Know

A few simple cooking tricks can make a boring dish even more delicious or simplify your cooking process altogether. So here are 10 basic cooking tricks you should add to your chef repertoire!

1. Don’t overcrowd the pan.

You might think you have enough room in your skillet for an extra piece of chicken, but if it’s questionable, don’t risk it. There’s a chance the heat won’t distribute properly to the rest of the food in the pan, thus affecting flavor or, worse, creating a health risk. As a preventative measure, leave a few inches between each item to ensure they cook thoroughly.

2. Let red meat sit before cutting into it.

Even a well-done steak should never taste dry. To prevent a steak from losing its juicy interior, place it directly on top of aluminum foil after taking it off the stove or grill. Carefully wrap the steak in the foil and let it sit for approximately five minutes.

This allows the juices to settle before you cut into the meat.

The meat will continue to cook while it is in the foil so if you prefer medium steak, you should take it off when it’s medium rare.

3. Store spices in the right location.

To prolong the life of your spices, keep them in a cool, dark place. Don’t store them on top of the stove, as heat and humidity can alter their flavor.

Vegetable Gardening For Beginners

In the Vegetable Gardening for Beginners Guide, we cover how to start a vegetable garden from scratch, which vegetables to grow, and when to plant what. This year, we’ve added a “starter” garden plan consisting of easy-to-grow vegetables, companion planting techniques, and some lovely.

Pick the Right Location

Sunny spot: Most vegetables need 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. There are a few veggies (mostly the leafy ones) that will tolerate some shade.

Drains well and doesn’t stay wet: If you have poorly drained soil where water pools, plant veggies in a raised bed or raised row for improved drainage. Wet soil means wet roots, which can turn into rotted roots. If you have rocky soil, till and remove the rocks, as they will interfere with root growth and make for weaker must. See how to prepare you soil for vegetable plants.
