[Cooking Tips of All Time]

Cooking Tips of All Time

Foodnetwork.com has compiled cooking guidelines from the best chefs in the United States. Each of them deserves all the attention of a novice cook.

1. If you are going to cook for someone important to you, be it your boss or someone you are dating, never try a new recipe or new ingredient.

2. Boil the pasta for a minute less than the instructions on the package say. You will bring it to readiness in a pan along with the sauce.

3. Need more oil in the pan? Add it around the edges to keep it warm when it comes in contact with food.

4.When cutting greens, add a little salt to a cutting board. This will prevent the greens from scattering.

5. For best results, leave the butter and eggs at room temperature overnight.

6. Recipes are just a guide, not a bible. Be bold and replace the ingredients of the recipe with the ones you like.

7. Buy quality olive oil. Just one drop of it can reveal all the aromas of dishes and products such as pizza, mozzarella, pasta, meat and fish.

8. Add spices from the start of cooking until the dish is ready. The gradual addition of seasonings best brings out all the aromas of the dish.

9. Always measure what you bake. There are no detours in the preparation of confectionery. This is art.

10. Salt the chicken well outside and inside an hour before cooking. Then dry it with a towel - then it will turn out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

11. Want to know if the oil is hot enough? Dip a wooden spoon into it. If bubbles appear around the spoon, you can start cooking.

12. Use the best oil for cooking. Taste its smell and taste. If it tastes bad, it won't get better in food.

How to close an opened bag of bulk products

You begin to fold the bag from above, folding it in several layers (like a flattened tube or something). Then tuck the corners from the edges to the center too.

[How to choose and break a coconut]

How to choose and break a coconut

1. When choosing a coconut, go for large and heavy coconuts.

2. Examine the shell.It should be intact without cracks or mold.

3. Examine the eyes of the coconut, the place where the coconut is attached to the branch. They must also be intact, closed and free of mold.

4. Bring the coconut to your ear and shake it. The more liquid splashes inside, the better. This speaks to the freshness of the coconut.

5. Pierce the eyes (peephole) of the coconut with a knife, screwdriver or scissors.

6. Drain the liquid into a mug, glass or bowl. In this case, we pay attention to the liquid. As a rule, it should be at least 1/3 cup. The juice should have a pleasant aroma and a delicate sweetish fresh taste. Otherwise, the coconut is considered spoiled and it is not recommended to eat it.

7. We take a coconut in one hand, a hammer in the other. Divide the coconut into 3 parts visually. We begin to tap the coconut with a hammer, stepping back from the edge with 1/3 eyes. Rotate the coconut in a circle and tap until the shell gives mother-in-law. This process can take 10 to 30 seconds. You don't have to pound the coconut with all your might. You just need to beat it.

8. After the crack has gone, it is recommended to beat off the whole coconut, so that it would be easier to separate the pulp.

And here is a visual video

... And here are the devices for processing coconut

I also saw an Indian video. They have a nozzle in their food processors, like our citrus juicer, only instead of plastic edges there are metal strips with teeth, and the principle is the same. Half a coconut instead of half an orange. The nozzle rotates, the cake (shavings) remains in the nozzle sieve, and the juice flows into the bowl. To get coconut milk and chips, you can also use soy cow https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=343945.0 and a blender soup cooker https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=374405.0

[How to bake nikumanchiki]

How to bake nikumanchiki

I bake Nikumanchiki regularly with different fillings - they are pies and pies in Japan. Only from the lining of the paper she gave up soon, although she cut a bunch of squares. Experience has shown that the best paper for me was this thick-white paper from the packages of cookies there all by weight - well, the box is cardboard, and the cookies are not packed with it. By the way, I used them many times - I'll take off the Nikumans, and the pieces of paper in a pile in a bag and in the freezer until next time. Well, okay, it's not about her. As a super grounded person - so that everything will last for years - I came up with the idea of ​​putting nikumanchiki in silicone molds for cupcakes. God, how convenient! oil - any - smear silicones - not much - and put Nikumans in them, well, so that they don't climb out raw, otherwise the boiled ones will hang around the edges of the molds - it's not beautiful. Here you can choose the size of raw Nikumans to the size of your forms. I have cheap Chinese ones - not too dense, but they still keep their shape. Then it was so cool that their sides were either corrugated with a wave. At first, as a maker with 30 years of experience, I took out nikumans from the molds when ready, and then - since I don’t do a little - I just leave them in the molds - the sides don’t wind up. But this is if you load a full mantle pot - = 28 pieces. By the way, I began to shove manti into silicones and steam cutlets - I just pour breadcrumbs without butter under the cutlets - silicones after crackers are better washed.

IF THE OVEN IS GAS AND DOES NOT GIVE A HIGH TEMPERATURE - puff pastry for baking requires a high t - above 240 * - so that the layers open. Gas ovens of the Soviet model, due to their old age, are almost not capable of this - but I want to open, baked puffs, and so I came up with the idea of ​​cutting a layer of ready-made dough into strips, narrow triangles - 1-2 cm wide, I don't roll out a layer of ready-made store dough at all thinner. The strips bake well, rise high, dry. Not everyone has powerful electric ovens - maybe my advice will come in handy.

So it is true to the clamps, although there are special ones (in the form of carrots and some other ones), but I don't use them - it's inconvenient to open in comparison with the clamp.

Black bread for odor control

I removed the smell in the fridge with black bread. She cut Borodino bread into pieces and laid it out on the shelves and in the freezer, all the smell was gone, but before that, the electricians reconnected something in the control room last year at the entrance and forgot to connect our apartment back (and this is in the summer, in the very heat), when we arrived a week later, the smell was such that the neighbors in the stairwell asked if we were hiding a corpse in the apartment. I washed the refrigerator and laid out the bread, after 2 days there was no smell left. Now, if there are pieces of brown bread, I periodically put them on the shelf of the refrigerator or in the freezer and there are no foreign smells.
