Cooking Tips from a Trained Chef
Make Your Own Croutons and Peel Celery:
For crispy croutons, tear bread by hand instead of slicing. For salads, peel celery to remove the chewy outer layer.
Enhance Roast Chicken and French Onion Soup:
Roast chicken with vegetables to create a flavorful one-pan meal. Make French onion soup in a large batch for easy serving.
Perfect Eggs and Other Dishes:
Cook eggs over low heat, stirring gently for a creamy texture. Chill cookie dough before baking to prevent spreading.
Use Your Food Processor and Soak Potatoes:
Make fluffy mayonnaise in a food processor. Soak potatoes after peeling to prevent browning.
Create Flavorful Stock and Season Desserts:
Cook chicken in water to make broth for soup. Sprinkle salt on sweet treats to enhance their flavor and texture.
