Tips for beginners in the kitchen

  If you are a beginner in the kitchen, before you start cooking you should consider certain aspects to avoid failing in your first attempts. Here are some basic tips: - Choose recipes that are not complicated and do not require much dedication and time, but at the same time are nutritious and healthy, for example salads, which are necessary both for lunch and dinner, provide vitamins and minerals, and can be made in multiple combinations. - Before starting the recipe, make sure you have all the ingredients for its preparation and try to maintain order and cleanliness in the kitchen while you are preparing them; keep cleaning utensils as you use them to avoid having a pile of dirty dishes to wash later. - If you are making a stew and notice that it has burned, to save it, if the burning is not too extensive, transfer it to another container without scraping what has stuck or burned at the bottom, and add a whole raw potato to the stew to continue cooking; it will absorb most of the burnt flavor. - Making a pasta dish is easy, but you need to pay attention to the cooking time, as well as stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together and to the bottom; also, add a splash of oil to the cooking water, which will help keep it looser. - Be careful with salt in meals; besides its excess being harmful to the body, if you overdo it with salt, it cannot be corrected in the meals. It is better to use less, as you can always adjust it at the last minute.
