Five tricks to cook your dishes better

Many times when we cook, we start to get angry because our food isn't turning out well, whether it's too salty, tasteless, bitter, or just missing that special touch to make it perfect. Anger doesn't lead us anywhere, and it's better to stay calm and review the recipe to see if we missed any ingredients or added something extra. Think, breathe, and enjoy cooking. Remember that cooking is an art, and those who enjoy your dishes will be the most pleased, with the best gift being their smiles and thanks. Here are some small but very functional tricks to make your kitchen practice better. - To prevent your rice from becoming mushy, add a few drops of cooking oil or a teaspoon of margarine while cooking. - If when tasting your dish you notice it's a bit salty, add some pieces of raw, peeled potato; it will absorb the excess salt. - If you want your potatoes to remain whole after cooking, add a splash of cooking oil to the boiling water and salt them a few minutes before removing them from the heat. - To make your soup tastier and more nutritious, you can add some pieces of meat, cheese, or vegetables you have left over and refrigerated; you can do the same with leftover chicken or red meat broth. - If you cook chickpeas, beans, lentils, broad beans, etc., and want them to be very soft, add three tablespoons of cooking oil to the boiling water. - To prevent eggs from cracking while boiling, add a tablespoon of vinegar and another of salt to the water.
