Regardless of your cooking ability, you can still learn new techniques and recipes for making delicious meals. You should know a few things before you cook anything on a skewer. If you are using metal skewers, stick to twisted or square designs, as this can grasp food more effectively. Store herbs and spices in an area that is cool and dark. Their flavors are weakened significantly by things like heat, light and humidity. When stored correctly, your spices can stay spicy for up to a year. Whole spices can keep their flavor for up to five years. If you keep them correctly, they will last a lot longer. Doing all of the things you need to in order to prepare a meal is a vital part of the cooking process. Look at your recipe, and ensure that you aren't missing any ingredients. Check the day before you start to cook to make sure that you have everything that you need to cook the dish you have planned. This will allow you to cook without having to worry. There is a way to save your dish and you can use it immediately. You need to mix 2 tablespoons filled with water and 1 tablespoon filled with corn starch in a bowl. Take this mixture and slowly stir it into the thin sauce, and this will make it thicker. The mixture should be added slowly and constantly stirred so that it doesn't get too thick. Sharp knives are a kitchen necessity. The duller the knife, the more difficult your kitchen task will be. You are also in danger of cutting yourself if you choose a dull knife. If you have to work on forcing a dull knife to go through something, you're much more likely to accidentally cut yourself in the process than with the one quick, clean cut of a sharpened knife. Apples are a mainstay of fall and winter cooking, but they will spoil quickly if not stored properly. To avoid rotting, store apples in open-mesh bags or baskets in a cool basement or in the produce drawer of your refrigerator. However, you will still need to keep a watchful eye on your apples. Even properly stored apples can spoil. They're a fickle fruit. To reduce fat and calories in mashed potatoes without sacrificing texture or taste, replace some of your potatoes with an equal amount of cauliflower. You will not taste the blandness of cauliflower, but notice a new interesting flavor instead. It also mimics the texture and color of the potatoes almost perfectly letting you up your vegetable intake, and drop the calories, all the while giving the same delicious potato experience we all know and love. They will act like a sponge and just soak up a lot of that water. Use a clean cloth to wipe them off. Save the delicious taste of summer by drying tomatoes yourself. You can do this by cutting ripe tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices, or by cutting Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise. Next, lightly salt the open sides and place them salt-side up on a wire cooling rack. Next, the tomatoes need to spend about 10 hours in an oven set to 190 degrees. Put a cookie sheet under the rack before it goes in. Put the tomatoes in plastic bags, and store them in the freezer. Alternatively, dried tomatoes can be packed in a jar filled with olive oil and fresh herbs. Put this jar in the fridge and use it up in two weeks time.
