Bay leaf can safely be considered a basic set of spices that are used literally several times a day.

But that doesn't mean everyone uses the spice correctly.

In most cases, we don’t even think about the fact that there should be some special technology regulating the correct introduction of bay leaves.

But there is still one subtlety.

What does it consist of?

It is worth noting that it is best to introduce the leaves whole if possible. Try not to break them during the preparation process.

Before adding the aromatic additive to the pan, you should rub the bay leaf a little with your fingers.

Be careful not to break the fragile bay leaf.

Few people know that due to this subtlety the spice will give much more pleasant aroma than usual. Many experienced cooks use this method. However, after a quarter of an hour of cooking, it is important to remove the spice so that there is no bitterness.

It is worth noting that to obtain an even richer taste, bay leaf can be added in ground form.
