Here are some cooking tips I compiled through the years:
1. Add and remove small batches of food when deep frying, one at a time to prevent fluctuation of temperature.
2. Do not open oven door during cooking to prevent losing heat.
3. Cover the pot with a lid to bring water to a boil faster.
4. Cut meat in a uniform size to promote even cooking.
5. Do not overboil potatoes to be used for mashed potato to prevent making them gummy.
6. Remove brown patches of leaves from leafy vegetables. These brown patches tend to quicken rotting of the leaves.
7. Cook French fries twice to make them crisp inside and outside.
8. Allow hot food to cool down first before putting inside the refrigerator to conserve electricity.
9. Cover tightly cake when it will be stored inside the refrigerator to prevent it from absorbing distinct aromas.
10.Add salt to water when boiling eggs to peel off the egg shell easier.
