Useful Tips to Improve Yourself in the Kitchen. By following these tips, we will improve in the management of our kitchen. Follow them carefully.

Pour the potatoes into boiling water.

When you boil the potatoes, know that they should never be poured into boiling water. Boiling water damages the surface of your potatoes. Put them in cold water and bring them to a boil.

Tips for becoming an expert in the kitchen

Leave the refrigerator door open for a few minutes.

Leaving the fridge door open even just to pour a drop of milk into the coffee increases the internal temperature considerably, so avoid doing it, close the door immediately.

Freeze the whole bread.

The best solution is always to cut the bread into slices, put it in a food bag and then freeze it.

Useful Tips to Improve Yourself in the Kitchen

Mash the potatoes using the mixer

He mix macina, does not crush. In this way the potatoes will release the starch contained in them and this operation will make your puree sticky. Always use a fork to mash your potatoes.

Leave the potatoes to cool without seasoning them first

The seasoning should always be added when the potatoes are still hot. When they cool down the starch it will form a shell that will prevent the sauce from penetrating.

Other useful tips

Add oil to the pasta while cooking

Pasta must always be cooked in boiling water so that the starch does not dissolve in the water, making it sticky. The addition of oil during cooking does not change anything.

Store the bread in the refrigerator

The bread would harden, because the crumb absorbs moisture. This process crystallizes the starch in the bread.

Before leaving

Keep the salad longer

Before putting the salad in the refrigerator, wrap it with a few tears of kitchen paper. This will absorb all the moisture and keep your salad crunchy.

How to keep bananas longer

Wrap some aluminum foil over the banana stems to make them ripen more slowly.

Did you know that it is possible to freeze ginger?

And, without peeling it in a plastic food bag.

Store the mushrooms in a paper bag

Mushrooms should always be stored in the refrigerator in a paper bag. Unlike plastic, paper absorbs moisture, slowing down the development of mold.
