Hello everyone! When it comes to the kitchen, there are still little tips that even those who have been cooking for many years don't know yet. Knowing the recipe alone isn't enough to prepare delicious dishes.
So this time, MyFood Myanmar will share with our dear readers, housewives, and everyone who steps into the kitchen, some little kitchen secrets used by chefs around the world.
1. Flipping meat frequently while grilling can cause the natural juices to drain out before the crispy edges form, leaving it dry and flavorless. If you want to know when to flip, gently shake the pan a little — if the meat moves easily, it's time to flip it to the other side.
2. To check if an egg is good, place it in a glass filled with cold water. If it's fresh, it will sink to the bottom. If it floats on the surface of the water instead, the egg is no longer good.
3. Eating meat immediately after cooking is a common mistake. Letting it rest for a little while after cooking instead of eating right away enhances the meat's flavor and makes it easier to chew.
4. If you're grilling fish on a grill, placing half a lemon underneath beforehand will help prevent it from sticking and also improve the flavor.
5. To melt butter quickly, pour hot water into a heated glass, then pour it out and place the glass over the butter. After a few minutes, the butter will gradually melt and become easy to use.
6. When frying food, putting too much into the pan at once is a mistake many people make without realizing it. If you want tender, juicy meat, make sure to leave some space between each piece.
7. When cutting something, place a cloth underneath the chopping board to prevent it from slipping.
8. When mashing potatoes for mashed potatoes, use warm milk only. Using cold milk can make the potatoes turn grayish.
9. If you run out of mayonnaise while preparing food, there's no need to go buy it separately. Mix one egg with 150 milliliters of olive oil and blend well.
