Expert Kitchen Hacks
Always Weigh Ingredients
For baking and precise cooking, using a kitchen scale for your flour and liquids ensures consistency and perfect results every time.
The Hot Pan Rule
Always start your searing on a hot pan with hot oil. This prevents sticking, ensures even browning, and builds better flavor development.
Season in Layers
Don't wait until the end to season. Add small amounts of salt and pepper at every stage of cooking to build depth of flavor.
Mise en Place
Prepare all your ingredients (chop, measure, etc.) before you start cooking. It simplifies the process and prevents burning.
