People Are Sharing Their "Cheat Codes" For Cooking, And It's Perfect For Anyone Who Wants To Cook More In 2023
"It's the difference between the food you have at home, and the same dish you have at the restaurant that magically tastes way better."
Like with any skill, whipping up magic in the kitchen comes with a learning curve. So, recently, u/MarielaGorman asked Reddit to share their cooking "cheat codes" for beginners, and people came through with some really helpful tips. Here's what they had to say:
1. "One of the best things my mom taught me is that we could always just order pizza if we messed up a meal. It instilled a lot of confidence in me from a young age to try new things in the kitchen, because if something didn't work, I could just order pizza. And even for the times when there hasn't been pizza money, it's the spirit of the sentiment — it's not the end of the world, and I can figure something else out to eat."
2. "Almost always put protein in an already hot pan rather than a cold one."
"Bacon is actually the only meat you should start cooking with a cold pan.
The reason being that you want to have as much of the bacon fat melt on your pan as you possibly can. That's flavor right there."
