Tips On How To Prepare Good Food


Cool, dark and dry places are ideal for keeping herbs and spices. Their flavors suffer when they are exposed to heat, light, and humidity. Herbs and spices that are ground usually remain flavorful for a year. Spices that are raw, or whole, can keep the original flavor for as long as five years, though it usually falls somewhere between three and five. As long as they are stored properly, they will hold onto their flavor for several years.

To maximize the efficiency of the cooking that you do, always make your food in large quantities and when you are finished with the meal, store the meats in freezer bags. This will allow you to create a meal the next day for your family that is still fresh and tastes great.




You need to soak wooden skewers in water for approximately thirty minutes prior to using them. This can cut down on the chances of the wood becoming burnt and singed during the cooking process. You can keep your food on the skewers if you use two sticks parallel instead of just one.

Keep dental floss handy in the kitchen to cut or slice soft foods or ingredients. Unflavored dental floss works better than a knife when it comes to cutting soft cheeses, cake, pie or other soft foods or ingredients. Just unwind a length long enough to allow you to stretch it across the item to be cut and apply even, downward pressure for clean, neat cuts.
