Cooking is an art that requires not only talent and inspiration, but also certain knowledge and skills.
People who have dedicated themselves to this occupation always have a multitude of secrets and techniques that make their dishes special and unique. These are the tricks that chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, shared with us.
How to refresh vegetables and herbs
If you notice that vegetables and greens have wilted while in the refrigerator, try soaking them in ice water for a few minutes - very cold liquid will make them "perky" and crispy.
The Secret to a Juicy Breast
If you don't want the fried breast to be very dry, cook it like this: make cuts in the skin, fry the meat in a frying pan, and then put it in the oven, placing the breast on the side with the skin. When there are 5-7 minutes left until it's ready, turn the breast over - the fat and juice under the skin will be absorbed into the meat.
How to raise the filling
We are talking about frozen berries, raisins, nuts and other heavy additives that often sink to the bottom of the baked goods. To prevent this from happening, mix the filling with cinnamon, flour or cocoa and only then add it to the dough.
Where to put the lid
Instead of placing the lid on the table, try placing it between the handle and the edge of the pan - although the stability of the resulting structure depends on the model of the pan and lid. In some cases, this advice works like a charm.
The Secret of Fresh Guacamole
Guacamole is not only a cold appetizer, but also a sauce made from mashed avocado pulp with cilantro, tomatoes, lime juice and other vegetables. When exposed to air, guacamole often loses its aroma and changes color. To keep guacamole fresh, transfer it to a container, add a little water on top and cover with a lid. Drain the water before use.
