The Benefits of Cooking from Scratch
Basic cooking techniques are important to know when cooking from scratch.
Sauteing involves cooking food quickly in a pan with oil over high heat. This is great for vegetables, meats, and seafood. The key is to keep the food moving in the pan to prevent burning.
Roasting involves cooking food in an oven at a high temperature. This is great for vegetables and meats. The key is to make sure the food is evenly spread out on the pan and not overcrowded.
Other basic cooking techniques include grilling, boiling, and baking. Each technique has its own uses and advantages depending on the type of food being cooked.
When sauteing, it's important to choose the right oil. Olive oil is a great option for most dishes, but it's not good for high-heat cooking. Canola oil is a good option for high-heat cooking. When roasting, it's important to preheat the oven and use a cooking thermometer to ensure the food is cooked properly. Basic cooking techniques are foundational skills that can be built upon to create more complex dishes. Take the time to master these techniques and you'll be well on your way to cooking delicious meals from scratch.
