Do you want to cook a dish that your family will eat only in one case: if you present an ultimatum, they either eat, or are enemies for life?
Follow these simple tips.
Hammer on the correct cut
The rules were invented by not very smart chefs. All these cubes with a side of one centimeter, or even more, thin and thicker straws, rhombuses, round shapes and the like are nonsense. You're in the kitchen, not a geometry class
Cut like a knife on your soul (you are not in a restaurant to bother, and indeed, if home want food according to the rules, let them hire a personal chef), and also smaller and thinner, so that faster prepared.
The fact that vegetables, cut into thin slices, turn into porridge in a frying pan, and mashed potatoes in soup, is only for the best. No need to chew. And it doesn't spoil the taste, what's the problem?
Hammer on tips for cooking times and reaching the consistency of the finished product
It is necessary to extinguish and cook longer, and if you fry, be sure to cover the product with a lid so that any hard crust does not work out.
In a ruddy crust - carcinogens, and our noble ancestors loved everything "softer" and knew what they were doing - they took care of their teeth. Now they make artificial teeth, but they are too expensive. There is nothing to use them for chewing, you can save money.
Aldente, in general, the enemies-capitalists came up with, and if the family says that porridge and stew are different things, they want meat juicy and in taste, and not cooked to the state of vata, it's just that the household misunderstands the concept of food - a person eats to live, and does not live to there is.
Never steam with salt and spices
All sorts of troubles with the addition of spices heated at the beginning of the dish, or, conversely, at the end, cold, with salt, which in one case it is necessary to put in the beginning of cooking, and in the other - at the end or even before the start of cooking, the parasites came up with, they have too much time for cooking. Busy people do not sweat such nonsense, they will still be in one pot, so why unnecessary difficulties?
The main thing is to always save
Making a "candy" out of feces is the main principle of a prudent owner. Sour cream or ancient mayonnaise is an excellent base for sauces, and curdled milk will go into baked goods.
If sour cream or mayonnaise curdled, and spoiled (not sour, but spoiled!) Milk gave the dough new flavors, it's worth reminding the pickers that this is just food!
In light of this, never drain used oil from pans. The most that can be done is to scrape out pieces of food that you cooked earlier. First, save on water and dishwashing liquid, and secondly, the aromas of the already used oils are saturated with the aromas of those products that were fried in it earlier, and will make a bouquet of a new dish richer!
If you follow these tips, the savings on food will become more than noticeable - after all, there will be less food for your family!
You read it - you laughed, and how many people cook according to these rules (I didn't take them from the ceiling) ...
