      Some things need to be cooked for more time and on a low flame,
      Increasing the flame and cooking it fast doesn't give the same results as slow cooking

    My first tip is: Always read the recipe all the way through - not just the ingredients. Sometimes there are hidden instructions like - marinate over night, or let rest in the refrigerator (make sure you have room in there) etc.

    Related to mise en place, I clean up as much as I can *before* I cook. It's a much more pleasant cooking experience if I'm not washing vegetables or straining pasta over a sink fully of dirty dishes. And with a clean counter space, I never feel bad about getting out the proper tools or as many bowls or pots and pans as I need.

    A cooking skill I picked up over the last year was labelling and dating everything I make. I use old containers to store leftover food and ingredients in the fridge and I always forget what I have in there or when I made it. Just using cheap masking tape I can label my stuff along with the date that I made it on, and it helps me remember what’s in the fridge and what’s not, and it helps me reduce waste as well as come up with creative dishes with something that’s gonna go bad soon. It helped me save soo much money and time in the long run. The other day I made ice cream from leftover chocolate frosting and it was so good, helped me make my cooking skills more versatile

    Often I would eat my meals and think about what I could of added to make the meal better, or ways I could of cooked the meal better or something I forgot to add to the meal. The best tip I was given to stop this happening was to take your time while cooking, step back and think before rushing into the next step. By slowing down I find that I can really think about what I’m doing and when I step back I often have sparks of inspiration of what would be good to add to the meal. It also helps me not forget about ingredients. Plus makes the experience much more enjoyable AND it somehow results in a less chaotic kitchen at the end, I seem to have time to clean up as I go when I don’t frantically rush cooking my meals

      @@teresamoscatelli239 If you're working with gluten, it's because over mixing it will result in something a lot more dense that will be more chewy and won't rise as well. The other issue, but less important if you're making recipes that do require a lot of gluten formation, is that some ingredients might not get incorporated evenly, thereby altering the flavour or the rise of the final product for example (think bits of cacao powder, or a flatter cake).

      @coolkumquats 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@teresamoscatelli239 If you don't want to mix the wet ingredients ahead of time, that's not a huge problem because dumping them all into the bowl with the dry ingredients will mix them anyway. (Add all liquids before you start stirring!) But mixing dry ingredients before you add the wet ones can really help! It makes sure all dry ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout the batter/dough, which is really important for leavening agents or spices.

    @annafantasia 3 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    Ahh I love this video idea, thank you for the insights! My "I wish I had known sooner" is how to use my stainless steel pans correctly. First they have to be hot enough for drops of water to roll around on them, then you add oil and wait till it barely starts to smoke, and then you put the ingredients in, and it's often best to let the ingredients sit to cook because they'll naturally detach from the pan when they get browned enough. I could have saved myself so much broken-up food and scrubbing if I only knew!

    Great video!
    My gamechanger tips are:
    -add garlic later, if not in the very end, because it tends to burn
    -fry vegetables until golden and don't hesitate to fry in batches, if stuff starts to burn. Deglaze with water if needed. Adds tons more flavour.
    -a pinch of sugar goes a long way in savoury dishes, a pinch of salt in sweets.
    -concerning baking: scale over cups any time. Way more accurate, way less dishes.
    That was all folks, happy cooking!

    Just wanted to say thank you for all the brilliant work you do in your channel!
    Thanks to your healthy lifestyle advice and tips, I've lost 28lbs of excess weight by slowly reducing the amount of meat I consume. At first, I found it very tough to adjust and almost gave up, but after a few weeks it started to get much easier.
    This has helped me become more active and enjoy food without feeling guilty about the odd treat now and then.
    Hope your channel continues to go from strength to strength!

    Good video & I agree wholeheartedly.
    I think another is to learn "foundation" recipes. Like say here in Scotland our parents would've taught us to make a basic staple like mince & tatties [ground meat & mashed potatoes]. Once you have that you can use the skills of cooking the mince to branch out into other things like cottage/shepherds pie, then spaghetti bolognese, lasagne... building all the time, use those skills to take it further with stews like beef stroganoff or stuffed peppers, meatloaf. moussaka. They all have a similar skill set, once you're comfortable with the basics you can exponentially build outwards as your confidence grows.
    I also think a good grounding is sauces is so important. With a knowledge of sauces you can transform base ingredients into wonderful things. The fist one I was taught was "bread sauce" when I was very little. I thought it was like alchemy & was hooked. Those along with how to prepare the basic carbohydrates like rice, potato, pasta, noodles, pulses & grains means you will never starve & have almost infinite variations to play with.
    Only found your channel a few weeks ago, really loving it. You communicate your passion for food so well,

    I found a big thing for me (that the video touched on) is relaxing and not really being super strict but just do the process as I like it and cook it how I like it.

    I have learnt that you do not need a specifically gluten free recipe and I can adapt non- gluten free recipes with gluten free ingredients. Also just to use my own senses in the kitchen to tell when something is cooked or not rather than always relying on the instructions!

    I wish I could have learned to cook sooner! When I became a single parent at 21 I wanted to be a mommy that cooked. I had a few basic skills. Boiling water, I could fry an egg, open jars or cans of premade soups, sauces, etc. I got a crockpot, asked for a food processor for a Christmas present. I learned and fed us pretty well. By the time I was 27 I had met a nice man, we got married and had a child. Food network was teaching me more recipes. I started growing my own herbs a few veggies. I got good knives, pots and pans and was becoming quite good at mincing herbs and garlic. ( what? These things can be used fresh!?). now I have found your channel and a couple others I follow and feel confident that I can try any recipe! Thank you 🙏.

    A super simple but belatedly learned tip for me was to have a small bowl near my chopping board for small scraps, and the trash/compost bin pulled right up to the counter or island, for larger trash. So that I don’t have to turn or step away. The prep triangle. I’m remodeling my entire kitchen right now, and causing the bin shortcut to become part of the new design, as a refuse cabinet that opens directly on my left.

Do you have a video talking about the different flours there are and what they can be used for? I'm getting lost in when we can use oat flour, or quinoa flour, etc. Your brief explanation in this video about the all purpose flour was helpful and kept my attention in wanting more education on the other types of flours. I find that information would be helpful to many. Thank you!
