The art of cooking - the basic rules of cooking
Cooking is the oldest occupation of mankind. The history of cooking is calculated more than one thousand years. As early as the 8th century BC, there were cooking schools in Rome. From ancient times, the skill of cooking was revered as a respected occupation. But the academic foundations of cooking began to emerge only at the end of the 19th century.
Cooking is the science of human nutrition, the ability to cook tasty and healthy food. She studies the varieties of products, caloric value, optimal techniques and methods of cooking. Having mastered this science, you will be able to cook well a full-fledged healthy meal.
The art of cooking is a general name for all kinds of business, limited to the kitchen. Selection of appliances, products, decoration - these are the elements characteristic of the art of cooking. The latter has a place in cuisines around the world, but the most important function is played in restaurants. This practice is becoming more and more accessible to people who are interested in improving their culinary skills and impressing guests by pleasantly surprising them with an unusual dish.
Thus, regarding the choice of products, it is necessary to apply:
This should not be forgotten by any housewife who cares not only about the taste properties, but also about the usefulness of each dish.
Everyone understands that food must be treated with high temperatures so that unhealthy elements and bacteria do not enter the body. In addition, the product becomes softer during heat treatment, it is easier to crush and process it. Certain foods are generally not absorbed by the human body before heat treatment.
By following absolutely all sanitary standards, you can also increase the shelf life of dishes, since as a result of such processing, food is stored much longer. Lovers of good cuisine will be able to appreciate the diversity of tastes of one product during any thermal processing, since frying, boiling, stewing or simply steaming will give, for example, meat completely different taste properties.
However, it must be borne in mind that various vitamins are severely destroyed during cooking or other heat treatment. For this reason, it is necessary to follow a number of practical tips on how not to lose the maximum presence of the necessary substances in the product. Vegetable products should be boiled without draining the broth, or in the peel, under which there is an accumulation of vitamins. Meat products are best steamed. But in order to balance the loss of useful elements, in spite of this, it is necessary to serve greens or fresh vegetable products as a side dish for meat.
In the course of boiling vegetable products, be sure to place them in already boiled water. In the presence of rapid heating, various vitamins are less destroyed.
Be guided by the “borscht principle”: put vegetable products in boiled water in such a way that they are cooked at the same time. This means, follow a certain order. First, vegetables are placed in a saucepan, for example, beets, as it takes a long time to cook. After that, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, because these products need a short time to become ready.
Vitamins are perfectly not destroyed in vegetable products that are grilled or steamed. Frying in oil should not be used - it will only add excess fat. In addition, vitamins in vegetable products and also in fat will be completely destroyed, since it is very hot. Therefore, frying itself, as a cooking method, is not useful and no matter what kind of oil is used.
If you fry quickly, the meat and fish retain their own vitamins. But try to do this by cutting the product into thin slices and in a pan with non-stick coating. In this case, you will not get a lot of fat.
This type of food is still baked in chunks in the oven. If these products are wrapped in foil, then this, of course, will significantly speed up the cooking process and will not allow fats to oxidize, and the necessary elements to leave along with the meat juice.
When boiling peeled vegetable products, it is advised to leave the water where the products were boiled, as some of the vitamins will remain there. This water should then be used for cooking soups and other dishes.
Watch to ensure that vegetable products are not overcooked. Quick cooking helps not to lose their taste, vitamins, and, well, appearance. Use stew vegetables - this is a pretty good way of cooking, making it possible to preserve their value.
Do not reheat the finished dish. If there is a lot of it, then it is best to take the desired part and warm it up. But once again it is not necessary to do this, since all the necessary vitamins and trace elements will die.
The preparation of food products requires impeccable cleanliness, scrupulous observance of sanitary and hygienic recommendations. The cause of gastrointestinal pathologies and food intestinal infections are not only expired products, but also an unhygienic kitchen, kitchen utensils and appliances, uncleanliness and negligence that occur during cooking. Flies, cockroaches, mice, rats are the source of many infectious diseases.
Everyday and neat tidying of the premises for the kitchen and places where there are a lot of people is fundamental both in a separate and especially in a communal apartment.
Pre-treatment of products should be carried out no less carefully than, for example, boiling or frying. All processes of initial processing (crushing products, washing) must be carried out in such a way as to protect the food from the penetration of pathogenic microbes to the maximum.
Raw meat, even quite high quality and fresh, can be contaminated with germs, so it should never be kept in direct contact with the rest, especially cooked foods. In all situations, especially when meat is purchased from the market, it should be thoroughly boiled or fried.
Knife and board used for cutting raw meat should be thoroughly rinsed with hot water. It is forbidden to touch other products until the hands are washed, with which raw meat was processed. It is best to have a separate knife and board for processing raw meat. Even if the meat grinder was completely clean, it must be doused with boiling water before use.
In minced meat and fish, microorganisms are especially easy to start. For this reason, it is advisable to cook minced meat right before cooking.
Unprocessed meat is allowed to be kept in the cellar or in the freezer, but minced meat should not be kept. All minced meat dishes (meatballs, cutlets, zrazy, meatballs, rolls) must be well boiled or fried, so that the juice is clear on the break.
In the process of initial cutting, raw fish must be washed with running water: the first time - before the removal of scales and gutting, the second time, very carefully, after gutting is completed.
Soup or broth, boiled for more than one day, must not only be heated, but be sure to boil every day.
In particular, onions, dill, parsley, green salad and such vegetables and fruits that can be used for raw salads should be washed repeatedly and thoroughly in drinking running water. If the salad is prepared for a child, then vegetables, fruits and herbs must be washed several times and always with boiled water.
For optimal preservation of vitamin C, vegetable products should be cooked in an aluminum or enameled pan, placed in boiling water and cooked at a slight boil until tender, and the pan tightly closed with a lid.
If you are preparing cabbage soup, borscht, soups, first you need to prepare the broth and then add vegetable products, and not all at once, but with the calculation of the required cooking time for each type of vegetable product; in particular, beets - before potatoes.
Peel and cut vegetable products only immediately before use or cooking.
Vitamin C is most in the outer layer of the potato, which is why when peeling it, the peel must be cut thinner, and it is best to boil it in the peel and remove the peel from the finished potato. If raw potatoes are peeled, they should not be stored for a long time, especially cut, because in doing so they lose some of the vitamin C and mineral salts.
Peeled potatoes are placed in water so that they do not darken. Peeled vegetables do not require this.
Remember that baking soda destroys vitamins C and B1, therefore, when cooking vegetables or legumes, it is unnecessary to put soda. Carotene is destroyed by the addition of acids to food; in this regard, the rule is to put vinegar in a salad or vinaigrette only before serving them on the table.
The remaining fat in the pan should be drained into a separate bowl, and the pan should be washed with warm water. Some housewives believe that the frying pan does not need to be washed after use, as it contains residues of fat. This, of course, is erroneous: not only fat remains, but also burnt small parts of food, which at another time can spoil fried foods.
Rags used to remove utensils from the fire should be clean, washed and replaced more often.
You can not put dairy products uncovered, you must cover with clean paper or gauze.
Hot dishes are first covered with a towel or clean gauze, and when they have cooled, they are covered with a lid. In general, it is best to keep food not under a lid, but under a light, clean cloth.
The most hygienic for use in the kitchen are ready-made washcloths from the remnants of parchment paper. Such washcloths are inexpensive and are thrown away after use. Habitual washcloths and brushes for dishes should be boiled more often with baking soda.
It is easier and more hygienic to wash utensils immediately after use.
I continue the topic of diet food with another "fake" of a traditional dish - this time I will fake cabbage soup. I cook diet food for my actively recovering grandmother and my main goal is to make healthy food taste as familiar as possible. Granny herself would have cooked cabbage soup in a strong broth, with vegetables fried in oil, and for a plate of such soup she would have taken a large piece of bread, generously spread with butter and generously sprinkled with salt. It was for this love of tasty-fatty that she paid the price, and now she has to endure my dietary cooking. I will try to cook dietary cabbage soup so that they differ little from the usual version.
To begin with, finely chop the potatoes, and chop the white cabbage as thin as possible.
We send these vegetables to a pot of boiling water. After them, finely chopped onions are sent to the pan; all together, these vegetables will be cooked for fifteen minutes after boiling.
P.S. The cabbage soup was a success, the fake did not cause any complaints, and in the process of cooking, the granny even visited the kitchen with the question: "What does it smell so delicious?")))
