Although\u00a0these cooking tips and tricks may not turn you into a gourmet chef, they will save you time, and money. Here are some cooking tips you could follow:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t overcrowd the pan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have enough room in your cookware for an extra piece of meat or chicken, don\u2019t risk it. There\u2019s a chance the heat won\u2019t distribute properly to the rest of the food in the pan, thus affecting the flavour. As a preventative measure, leave a few inches between each item to ensure they cook thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Turn off gas before eggs are done<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The trick to great eggs is not to overcook them! Whether you scramble or fry always turn off the gas a few minutes before the eggs appear done. The remainder of the heat will cook them to fluffy perfection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chop herbs with salt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To prevent herbs from flying all over the place when chopping, sprinkle a bit of salt onto the board. This will keep them in place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use a paper towel to preserve vegetables<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prolong the life of vegetables by wrapping them loosely in a dry paper towel and placing them in a resealable plastic bag. Oxygen is not a friend of veggies, so get as much air out of containers and bags before sealing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep the root of the onion intact to help with slicing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Onions can be difficult to slice into without making a mess of it. To cut them evenly, do not remove the root. While keeping it intact, peel the onions. You will be amazed!<\/p>\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n<p>Source: The Trent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regardless of what you think about cooking, there are some simple cooking hacks you need to have at your fingertips.
