The simplest culinary tricks will take your dishes to the next level!
1. You can easily reduce the severity of onions and garlic by dipping them into a soda solution - 1 tsp. for 200 ml of water. Just be sure to rinse the vegetables before adding to the rest of the ingredients.
2. In many recipes we are asked to remove the pulp from the tomatoes. If this is not said, feel free to leave it, because it is she who gives the vital aroma and taste!
3. To preserve the flavor of the butter, store it in the freezer, carefully wrapped in foil. You can keep vegetable oil from going rancid by placing it in a cool cabinet.
4. Fry vegetables? Then put them on the most preheated frying pan, otherwise you risk getting not an appetizing, slightly crispy side dish, but a sprawling mass.
5. Don't forget about sugar! Especially if you cook dishes with the addition of tomatoes - it will help balance and beat the taste!
6. Before adding dried herbs and spices to the dish, soak them in oil for a couple of minutes. This will greatly enhance their taste.
7. Leftover frying in the pan can go well with your soup or stew. To do this, put a baking sheet or pan on a hot burner, add broth or wine to it and scrape off the leftovers.
8. The crust of cake, rolls or bread should be golden brown. Until it reaches the desired degree of blush, you should not remove it from the oven. So watch!
9. Soy sauce will enhance the flavor of your dishes due to the presence of a large amount of glutomate. Just add a couple of teaspoons to your favorite dressing! For the same purpose, you can use anchovies.
10. Add mild herbs such as parsley at the end of cooking. But, for example, it is better to add rosemary or oregano at the beginning.
