✦ If broth is cooked from meat that has not been frozen, it is opaque. To achieve transparency, you need to put carefully washed eggshells into the broth when cooking (in a medium-sized saucepan, there are enough shells from 2 eggs). The shells must be removed from the finished broth with a slotted spoon.

✦ It is better to soak dried mushrooms not in water, but in milk, then they will become just like fresh.

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

✦ If you like fluffy, spongy pancakes, do not put the whole eggs in the dough, but beat the whites and yolks separately. First add the whipped yolks, stir well, and then add the whipped whites into a thick foam.

✦ To keep the pancakes warm while you bake them all, place a large plate in a pot of boiling water and place the finished pancakes on top of it.

✦ To "save" dried cheese and restore its freshness and softness, you need to put it in a container with sour milk and hold it for 1 hour.

✦ If you are making a dessert with whipped cream, add some low-fat sour cream. Then they will beat faster and thicker.

✦ The stew will be more juicy if fried on all sides first. The resulting crust will prevent the juice from flowing out during the stewing process.

✦ When you beat meat on a wooden board, it absorbs a lot of meat juice. To prevent this from happening, moisten the board abundantly with water before hitting. Sap will not be absorbed into a wet tree.

✦ To prevent the potatoes in their skins from cracking during cooking, pre-prick the peel in several places with a fork, and salt the water well.

✦ If you add cold milk to mashed potatoes, it will take on an unappetizing grayish color. This will not happen if the milk is preheated without boiling.

✦ To prevent apples sliced \u200b\u200bin salad from darkening, place the slices in salted water during slicing.

✦ If you only need half of an onion, and you have to put off the other until next time, brush the cut with margarine or put the cut on a saucer with salt. Then, during storage, the onion will not lose its taste and aroma properties.

✦ For a tasty, soft and airy mashed potato, add beaten egg white to it.

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

✦ To make the pancakes crispy and acquire an appetizing golden color, add granulated sugar to the dough at the rate of 1 tbsp. l. for 1 liter of dough. ✦ To prevent fresh herbs from drying out longer, they must be washed and wrapped in foil. This will keep it fresh in the refrigerator for 1-2 months.

✦ Salt the food at the end of cooking. The only exceptions are two cases: when you cook fish soup, salt must be added before putting fish and vegetables; when you cook dumplings or pasta, the water is salted before it boils.

✦ If you have oversalted the meat, you can save the situation by adding flour or butter sauce to it, which will quickly take some of the salt from the meat.

✦ The refrigerator is often loaded to capacity, so there is nowhere to put new food. What can and even need to be removed from it in order to free up space and not harm the products:

Improving taste

Oh, what a scent!


Not a minute in vain

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


Let's do an experiment?


At your leisure, browse culinary blogs, explore the cuisines of the peoples of the world, mark what you would like to cook. Look for new flavor combinations. For example, who would have thought that meat and coffee would make a great roast?

In secret

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


Skills and skills in cooking come with experience. Discovering new recipes for yourself, you try and make mistakes, consult with your friends, mothers. By memorizing simple cooking tips and tricks, you can quickly improve your skill level in preparing the perfect dishes.

Be sure to rinse the leek leaves, 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 pot or from the kettle i.e. not into the lid itself, but into the hole where the handle of the lid must be shoved a cork from the wine and then you can take it even if it is 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 your hands with soap and rinse with vinegar water, there will be no vinegar smell.

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

With the help of the pharmacy "Narine" or Bifidolactobacterin, you can easily prepare homemade super-useful kefir! One ampoule (bag) per liter of milk is enough.

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

***
If you crush the garlic slightly by placing the plane of a knife on the clove and pressing on it with your palm, then the garlic:

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

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

***
Lemon also needs to be squeezed a little before squeezing juice out of it. For example, you can twist it in your palms with pressing. It will give more juice.

***
In no case should you boil them when heating borsch and other vegetable soups, you need to heat them 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 sprinkled and beats well!

***
Freeze the cutlets in an egg dish, stick the cloves into the onion so that it is easy to get it out after boiling the broth, the bay leaf can be inserted into the carrot by making an incision with a knife:

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

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

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

So that the protein is whipped well, I first put it in the refrigerator. When working with shortbread dough, I am guided by the same principle: first, for at least half an hour (and at least an hour), put it in the refrigerator, and then you can do whatever your heart desires with it.

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

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

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

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

The meat must not be salted during cooking, because from salt, the protein swells or hardens there, in short, the meat becomes tough, and then no matter what you do, it does not soften. I always cook without salt, I salt only at the very end, before turning off the heat, when everything is ready, the meat always (fried, boiled, stewed, baked) turns out to be 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 feed them to chickens and ducks. It turns out that all the poisons from the earth and air - all kinds of salts of heavy metals and carcinogens - are concentrated on the tops of the arrows of green onions.

It is convenient to keep the ready-made minced meat in the fridge - send it with buckwheat, tomorrow for flotsi, the day after tomorrow for pizza. It turns out more delicious 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 or just in the refrigerator - it keeps the condition for up to a week (so as packed hot), or in the freezer.

Freeze fruit in the freezer. It is very convenient if there is a separate large freezer.
From fruits, I would advise freezing cherries, cherries, persimmons, berries: raspberries. blackberries, etc.
You can defrost it either by simply pulling it out and leaving it on the table overnight, or putting it into the mikruhu in the defrosting mode. Apricots, peaches and apricots turned out to be delicious, but not very beautiful after defrosting. They go well with dried fruits. The strawberries fell apart, or maybe I don't know any tricks for defrosting them.
Previously, the Bulgarian pepper was still frozen, but it is easier to pickle it with cucumbers and roll it up in fries.
***

Advice on packaging: do not throw away ice cream, viola cheesecakes, etc. It is very convenient to freeze berries in them, the volume is just for one defrosting and stored compactly.

The thinnest dough (manti, somsa, etc.) can be easily and quickly rolled out with a long (I have it about 110 cm) rolling pin, look at the bazaars or do it yourself).

Probably everyone knows that tomatoes must be peeled by pouring boiling water over them. And recently I found out that Bulgarian pepper, which is cooked on fire or on coals (you can put it on the fire right above the comfy and turn it until black), you need to wrap it in cling film after that, hold it for 5-10 minutes until it cools, and then the film will go off by itself, and if this pepper is then marinated in lemon juice with vegetable oil, garlic and black pepper, you will get a funky Bulgarian snack.

Pour the pancake dough into an eggplant (it is possible in the evening to come up in the morning, and pour it into the pan. You can't go wrong with a portion.

I put pumpkin (if season) or a teaspoon of sugar in borscht and in almost all soups. The borscht becomes sweet, and all the flavoring qualities are stronger.
