✦ If the meat broth is cooked from unfrozen meat, it turns opaque. To achieve transparency, you need to put carefully washed egg shells into the broth during cooking (an average shell shell of 2 eggs is enough for a medium-sized pot).

✦ To prevent the mustard from drying out longer, add a little milk to it.

✦ To make mashed potato from the old potato tasty, soft and airy, add beaten egg white to it.

✦ In order for the chops to fry faster and form a golden crust, chunks of the chopped meat should be thoroughly rinsed in cold water.

Ah, what a scent!


Not a minute in vain

After a working day, there is so little time before bedtime, but I want to enjoy our vacation properly, have time to devote time to my family, take up a hobby or just watch a movie. At the same time, I do not want to give an hour to constant cooking. Save valuable time with helpful cooking tips.


Let's do an experiment?


At leisure, browse culinary blogs, study the cuisines of the peoples of the world, mark what you would like to cook. Look for new flavors. For example, who would have thought that meat and coffee would make an excellent roast?

In secret

The housewife in the kitchen will be helped not only by culinary tips, but also by small technical tricks that make the work more comfortable.


Cooking skills come with experience. Discovering new recipes for yourself, you try and make mistakes, consult with your friends, mothers. If you remember the simple culinary tips and tricks, you can quickly increase your level of skill in preparing the perfect dishes.

Be sure to rinse the leaves of leek, as dirt is often clogged between them, if you cut it, it will be difficult to wash it all out.

In the lid from the pan or from the kettle i.e. not in the lid itself, but in the hole where the lid handle must be put in the cork from the wine and then you can take it even if it’s boiling in the pan, you can open it and check, because the cork does not heat up !!!

The smell of fish (smoked, fried, etc. - I love it) is removed with a light solution of vinegar. Wash hands with soap and rinse with vinegar water, there will be no smell of vinegar.

Vegetables for salads (olivier, vinaigrette, etc.) are best steamed, so all the vitamins are preserved.

Using the pharmacy Narine or Bifidolactobacterin, you can easily cook home-made super-healthy kefir! One ampoule (sachet) per liter of milk is enough.

When added to fried foods, cut the garlic into large pieces, lightly fry in oil, remove, continue cooking. This is for those who do not like the strong smell of garlic.

***
If the garlic is slightly crushed by putting the knife plane on the clove and pressing it with the palm of your hand, then the garlic:

  • easy to clean
  • very easy to cut yourself
  • will give more flavor to food

***
  If you cool the onions, then you can safely peel and cut and it will not be so angry :) Just do not overcool, otherwise it will freeze

***
  Lemon also needs to be squeezed out before squeezing juice out of it. For example, you can twist it in the palms with a tap. Will give more juice.

***
  In no case, when warming up borsch and other vegetable soups, you can boil them, you need to warm over low heat or even just add hot water.

***
  Do you buy ice-cream buckets? In these buckets it is very convenient to beat several eggs with a mixer (from 4 to 10) - and nothing is sprayed and beat well!

***
Freeze cutlets in an egg mold, stick cloves in onions so that it is easy to get after cooking the broth, bay leaf can be in a carrot, making an incision with a knife:

To open the lid on the jar from the refrigerator (with cucumbers or tomato paste) you need to lightly douse it with boiling water, it will expand and easily unscrew!

So that the hot oil does not splatter, add a pinch of salt to it.

When I cook pies, especially on shortcrust pastry, before covering the form with parchment, foil or not covering it at all, I grate the dry gingerbread. I hardly trust the oven, so if the dough starts to burn out from below and the raw gingerbread from above will solve this problem. Below it does not burn, and everything is perfectly baked.

To beat the protein well, I first put it in the refrigerator. When working with shortcrust pastries, I follow the same principle: first, at least for half an hour (and at least for an hour), in the refrigerator, and then you can do whatever you like with your soul.

To whisk the protein well, you need to separate it from the yolk in a dry, clean dish (greasy dishes are especially critical in this regard). The walls of the dishes can be wiped with a slice of lemon. When whipping protein, you can throw a small pinch of salt. And yes, cool (but not very cold) protein whips better.

Old-old advice: if you need to mix whipped protein in some mass, then mix from bottom to top.

When frying fish, I throw salt in oil (the main thing is not to salt), and I do not salt each piece separately.

Who uses a manual meat grinder and makes minced meat at home - keep in mind that it turns out the meat needs to be twisted a little unfrozen to the end, then all the veins of the film, if any, are twisted with a bang!

Meat cannot be salted during cooking, as from salt, the protein swells or hardens there, in short, the meat becomes stiff, and then no matter what you do, it does not soften. I always cook without salt, salt only at the very end, before turning off the fire, when everything is ready, the meat always (fried, boiled, stewed, baked) is soft and tender!

In green onions, it is not advisable to eat green tops (3-4 centimeters). I always cut them off before washing and give them to chickens and ducks for food. It turns out that all the poisons from the earth and air are concentrated on the tops of the green onion arrows - all kinds of salts of heavy metals and carcinogens.

It is convenient to keep ready-made minced meat in the refrigerator - gravy with its buckwheat, tomorrow on the breadboard, the day after tomorrow in pizza. It tastes better if you first fry the meat, then with onions, add spices, close the lid and simmer over low heat for about 40 minutes. After that, I put it hot in plastic molds with lids, put it in it or just keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week (so as hot packed), or in the freezer.

Freeze fruit in the freezer. It is very convenient if there is a separate large freezer.
  Of the fruits, I would advise freezing cherries, cherries, persimmons, berries: raspberries. blackberry and so on.
  You can defrost either simply by pulling it out and leaving it on the table for the night, or shove it into mikruhu in the defrost mode. After defrosting, apricots, peaches and apricot turned out to be tasty, but not very beautiful. They also go well with dried fruits. Strawberries fell apart, or maybe I do not know some tricks for defrosting it.
  Earlier, Bulgarian pepper was still freezing, but it is easier to pickle with cucumbers and roll it in the fries.
***

Council on the account of the container: do not throw away molds from ice cream, processed cheese, viola, etc. It is very convenient to freeze berries in them, the volume is just one defrost and stored compactly.

The finest dough (manty, soms, etc.) can be rolled out easily and quickly with a long rolling pin (I have about 110 cm), look at the bazaars or make it yourself).

Probably everyone knows that tomatoes need to be peeled by dousing with boiling water. And recently I learned that Bulgarian pepper, which is cooked on a fire or on charcoal (you can put it on a fire right above comfort and turn it to black until it burns), you need to wrap it in cling film afterwards, hold there for 5-10 minutes until it cools, and then the film itself will go away, and if this pepper is then pickled in lemon juice with vegetable oil, garlic and black pepper, you will get a funky Bulgarian snack.

Pour the pancake dough into the eggplant (you can come up the next morning and pour it into the pan. You won’t be mistaken with the portion.

I put pumpkin (if the season) or a teaspoon of sugar in borsch and generally in almost all soups. Borsch becomes sweet, and all tastes are stronger.
