Cooking Tips of the Week

  As every week, we provide you with a list of tips that can help you cook better, with more confidence and with greater nutritional benefits for you and your family. - Before starting to prepare a recipe, we should get into the habit of reading the entire recipe beforehand to get an idea of what we need to do. This will help us save time and energy. - Before we start cooking, we must ensure that we have all the ingredients and utensils on hand that we will use to prepare our recipe. - To accurately measure the ingredients in recipes, we should use measuring cups and spoons, a scale, and cooking thermometers. - If we are going to cook something in a large amount of oil or fat, we should use a deep container. - We should not bring wet utensils close to fat or oil, as they will cause the grease to splatter and can lead to burns. - We must be careful when frying meats and poultry, as the fat tends to splatter during frying, so we should not get too close. - It is recommended to cook lean pork chops in a skillet, as the chops are fatty and supply their own fat. - To ensure that fried fish is pleasant, it should be seasoned with salt and fried in well-heated fat or oil without moving it. After it is browned, lower the heat to allow it to cook slowly. - To prevent baked fish from sticking to the pan, it is advised to cover the bottom of the pan with thin slices of fresh tomato and place the fish on top. - To melt cheese, we should do it over low heat, stirring constantly, and we must remove it as soon as it has melted.
