Even if you weren't born with a talent for cooking, you can use proven tricks to learn how to cook like a chef.
Today we will talk about rice, which is considered one of the most important cereals by many people.
If you are planning to cook only a side dish, you can use either long-grain or round-grain rice. However, do not forget that porridge from the latter is stored in the refrigerator for a much shorter time.
By the way, if you find that there is only one handful of cereal left in the bag, which is definitely not enough to prepare the intended dish, try mixing those that are in the kitchen cupboard.
Important: this can only be done with those types that take the same amount of time to cook.
If the cooking time differs, soak the beans or grains in advance - thanks to this life hack, you can even out the cooking time.
And for those who have heard about the benefits of lentils, but can't stand their taste, try soaking them too - overnight. Alternatively, you can try cooking without salt.
A particularly clever housewife's method is to hide lentils in other food. To do this, they should be boiled thoroughly, then mashed with a fork and used as a thickener for sauce or filling for pasta.
