Culinary Tricks

After washing the meat, before cutting and roasting it, it is necessary to remove excess water from the surface of the piece. To do this, blot the surface of the meat with a paper towel or napkin..

Firstly, it will save the person who prepares meals from splashing of heated fat while putting the meat in the frying pan, and secondly, it’s good to fry the meat with water, because it starts stewing immediately and there is no beautiful brown crust on it.

Putting the meat in the pan or in the cauldron is possible only after heating the oil. In addition to the fact that hot fat contributes to the rapid formation of a golden crust and can significantly shorten the time of roasting meat, it does not take the juice out of it, which is released when it is lying in a frying pan with cold or warm fat.

If it is possible to use not frozen green beans, but fresh, this opportunity should definitely be used. Fresh bean pods need to be cut with a knife into pieces up to 3 cm long, and the time needed to cook fresh beans is reduced by a few minutes, as it is cooked faster than frozen.

If instead of canned beans in the dish is used dry, it must be boiled beforehand, rinse and allow to drain all the liquid.

In addition, it should be remembered that since boiling beans makes it very large in size, it will take much less to cook a dish with dry beans than with canned beans..

So, you need to replace two cans of canned legumes with just one cup of dry ones, which after boiling will increase four times in size.
