I have always dabbled in cooking up various interesting culinary delights, however they don't always go as planned, and anyone reading this will probably understand fully what I am talking about.
By chance I was introduced to a work colleague's partner at a recent function, and he is a top chef at a famous restaurant in the city. So, naturally I asked for some useful tips and shortcuts to help me. You know, some simple secret touches that make for magical meals.
Chef Knife
He was good enough to divulge a few good kitchen tips and tricks for gourmet cooking with minimal effort, so here goes....
First, too much salt? Use a splash of vinegar to provide a counterbalancing punch of acid and sweetness.
Second tip...Did you know that cold water will rejuvenate limp vegetables? This is a great tip and a potential life-saver if you are cooking a meal and want to impress. Plants wilt due to water loss but dousing in icy water penetrates the membranes and restores crispness.
Pat meat and fish dry before cooking. Surface moisture creates steam when it hits a hot pan or grill, this means the protein sweats rather than browns..hands up who like soggy protein?
Put steaks, chops and fillets in a sealable plastic bag before cooking, and also immerse them in tepid water for thirty minutes. You see, by raising meats temperature, it makes it easier to cook evenly.
I hope you found these few tips very useful and eager to try them out soon. I will try and get some more useful tips for another article later..so watch this space!
