We all want to make our lives easier one way or another, and the same can be said for the kitchen. We all want to speed up the process for a little while without compromising the quality of our food, which is why we’re here to present to you some of the easiest but best things you could ever do in the kitchen that would make your life a bit easier.
Making Cooking A Bit Easier With These Simple Hacks
Slicing Multiple Tomatoes At Once
It takes a while to cut grape or cherry tomatoes in half. Alternatively, try sandwiching a few of them between two lids of tiny plastic containers and cutting through the opening horizontally. An extremely sharp knife and ripe (unmushy) tomatoes are obviously necessary for this procedure.
An Easier Way To Wash/Dry Herbs
Culinary Scientist Bridget Lancaster advises washing the entire bunch of parsley in a salad spinner rather than washing a few sprigs at a time. Spin the entire lot once more to dry them after the water has drained.
Other Uses For An Apple Slicer
How many more things except slicing apples can an apple slicer perform? Also useful for cutting other fruits, such as pears. Even mozzarella may be divided up neatly. But potatoes are the object we prefer to cut using one of these tiny devices. For some hefty steak fries, the triangle sections are the ideal size! Simply slice it, fry it, and serve it with a glass of whiskey and a nice steak. Yum.
How To Redeem A Soup With Too Much Salt
Although this trick has been known for a long, many people are still unaware of it. Everybody has been there: in a fit of culinary elation, we oversalted our soup to the point where it now resembles the habitat of a tropical fish. Do not fret. Put a potato, uncooked and peeled, into the salty stew, and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. The potato’s starchiness will help it to absorb the extra salt, returning your dish to deliciousness in a matter of minutes.
You Can Never Go Wrong With Butter
Butter is the solution to virtually all culinary problems. Actually, it’s just a miraculous gift from the gods, and we are completely unworthy of receiving it. Hence, butter is the reason restaurant soups and sauces taste so much richer and velvety than those you create at home. Always add a few tablespoons of cold butter at the very end of creating any thickened sauce or soup. The silky texture and depth of taste that results from swirling it into its salty bath as it melts away will elevate your dish to the next level.
A Different Way To Thicken Soup
There are other methods for thickening a sauce or soup, but this one is unquestionably our favorite. We don’t always have time to make a roux, and if slurries aren’t tempered exactly right, they can be problematic. bring on the quick mashed potatoes. With a scoop of our enchanted potato powder, your underwhelming gravy will instantly improve. Once you’ve reached the consistency you want, add a teaspoon at a time.
