Here are the three most frequent question about Soul Food cooking techniques.

First What is the best way to cook the fish, if you have health problems that tastegood?

If you're worried about health in order to avoid the deep fat frying fish. Try baked instead of frying or roasting or baking pan with cooking spray. Be careful not to overcook the fish, causing them to dry out and lose nutrients. We try to eat freshwater fish such as salmon, cod and haddock and avoid the cheaper fish such as catfish, pike and mullet.

I love Soul Food Desserts second, what is the best for a beginner to start?

For example, have few ingredients and is available through the crust of frozen or ready. All you need is the recipe for the filling and bake for 30-40 minutes or until crust is golden. Quick and easy.

Cooking with stainless steel pots

Many people have problems with cooking utensils made of stainless steel. What temperature should I cook? Why eat my stay? When you've never used stainless steel cookware, which is understandable. If you compare the way, the kitchen is another SS media. High quality stainless steel cookware is a sandwich of SS inside and out, either aluminum or copper core. This core is to distribute heat quickly and uniformly throughout theCookware. Muti-layer stainless steel cookware can be up to 12 layers, a central location, if you have a high old chef is a layer of steel. This layer is the magnetism of a cooking surface conductive to his best work. Another advantage is the heat, multi-layered stainless steel cookware is heavy and the heat will last longer. The pots are full heating elements in the herd, so you have no loss of heat transfer.

Now the first question, whatTemperatures to cook? With stainless steel cookware you want to cook over low heat to med, and you need to preheat your cookware. Never cook on high flame, even if you need to start cooking, and slowly increase temperature to med. to a boil. I read too many articles of this state, "Just a cook." Resist the temptation.

The second question is quite difficult. In stainless steel cookware, food is always the first floor, but if you cook withoutmoving around, food, especially meat, the lever. If this happens, a thin crust of caramel crust, this version is actually the food from the plate. How do you get food up to this point? It is necessary to preheat the pans. To test the temperature, touch the top of the pan with your palm when it is hot, OK, if it is hot, remove from heat and let cool Slightly. Now you have reached the optimal temperature, you can add a little 'oil to yourpan, just enough to thin layer of butter or if you prefer. Add your food, you should get sizzle when it hits the pan, croaks when your heat is too high. Cook until desired doneness and turn it over to fry other side. At the end, you must exit to the right without any problems. If you are cooking steaks or chops, small pieces can make a good pan sauce or gravy, if you want one. stainless steel cookware savesEnergy and get more energy from food.

Instant Read Cooking Thermometer - A simple way to prevent food poisoning

An instant read thermometer Cooking is a kitchen gadget that I would grill now, not without.

If you've never done any kind of cuisine in your home I am sure that many times when presented with enough to know when food is hot enough or cooked. There's nothing worse than an over cooked lasagna, or even worse, a Framework cooked chicken!

Food poisoning is a real problem and all regular and may occur completelyThe advice is often avoided if you take the health food source. Re-heat the food or keep food in the refrigerator for food poisoning. But it is potentially more serious problems can also arise, because if you eat cooked food.

Most of the time we know how long to cook food. Usually it is the cooking instructions on the package or we cooked many times so that is not a problem. However, there are situations occasionallythat sufficient resources, we have to guess, to decide something, when food is cooked. Barbecue is a perfect example.

What else is one to overestimate the cooking time to burn the sausages and burgers, or to cook food in half a chicken breast or leg. And 'the later of the two scenarios that all your fears.

An instant read thermometer cooking eliminates the concern and speculation in these situations. ByReferring to a chart on the basis of various foods, it is easy to tell if food has reached a certain temperature in the medium, and then sufficiently cooked.

In the kitchen are all important times and you really need to know when food is ready, "now" or take a little 'more, especially if you score a boil. While since you've read a thermometer that read only in close proximity seconds and be more efficient and focus on all permitsother jobs that require attention.

Traditional thermometers, while doing a reasonable job last too long, up to a temperature reading. It is this speed that makes the difference.

There are some excellent models on the market today that is almost 100% accurate measurements in seconds. The Thermapen Instant-read thermometer, for example, a cooking thermometer is an industry leader that has received rave reviews. It 's small, wireless,extremely accurate and very fast!

I use it for some time and it worked perfectly for me every time. It is not the most economical cooking thermometer, but it seems to be different, the best and I will not swap for anything.

Why cooking all the time is not a good idea for your health

It 'was found only in humans, the fire progressed and developed beyond the limits of other species. Fire and heat protection provided and has played an important role in the development of our species. Fire has allowed people to expand the meat with cooking food. Since then, the human diet changed significantly from berries and seeds to a diet mainly of meat.

Although cooking with fire has allowed us to vary our diet actually Process of heating specific foods made softer and tastier to eat. But many other foods when cooking, the nutrients consumed, and goodness, that the body needs to function and to maintain health.

The main components of food that gives life are enzymes, proteins, vitamins and minerals. When cooking raw food natural materials, is reduced or completely destroy the nutrients from these foods. This includes all current methods> The kitchen is when frying, roasting, boiling or baking.

One of the most important protein for the human body. Helps build and repair muscle tissue. When we cook food at most of the protein can be destroyed in the body can be completely changed to a molecular structure that are not digested, right. The meat is a food that is rich in protein and many believe they have enough protein by eating meat from her. But what many people do notis aware that cooking and overcooking meat may drastically reduce the levels of protein.

Vitamins are essential for our health. Without them we would have depleted energy levels and immune system, that pressure would break down toxins in bacteria, viruses and infections. The cooking process can also help reduce many of the essential vitamins, we need to stay healthy and fit. For example, 80% of vitamin C can cook up for lost.

This does not applymean that you should stop eating the food cooking. However, to maintain your health and give your body more nutrients necessary to replace the nutrients through cooking, is lost or depleted. You can do this day by introducing more raw foods in your diet each. This may take the form of salads and sprouts. If not look cooked too long, or burn your food. Your body will thank you.

What everyone should know about cooking with oils

Eating healthy food healthy diet requires - which is where your cooking oil really important. With so many different oils and butter products claiming the best is can be difficult to know which products to use and which products to abstain.

Olive oil contains a very different flavor with lots of heart-healthy items. This oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, lower risk of cancer and helps lower cholesterol levels. TheOlive oil also has high antioxidant and a long shelf life.

Sous-Vide - vacuum sealer kitchen at its best

Cooking centuries has come a long way in the past. We are not cooking on the stove, and range of foods available today is just incredible to say the least, the. People are now in deep frying turkey and ice cream, cooking food in aluminum foil and a microwave dinner before the big game. Another new trend, at least in recent years, Sous-Vide.

Sous-vide means literally "vacuum". It 's a way of cooking> Powered by heating for a long period of time. Although the method of cooking is like a slow cooker or crock pot, Sous-Vide used lower temperatures in a similar way. Food is essentially placed in a bag or vacuum sealed bag in hot water, cooked (about 140 ° F or 60 ° C).

This method of cooking was France Georges Pralus created in mid-1970 in Roanne. He discovered that cooking food in this way allowed foodmaintain its original appearance and texture that appeals to customers. He also helped to maintain, improve the taste the taste of food.

Although Sous-Vide has been around for more than 30 years, is starting to grow in popularity. Many amateur cooks are now experimenting with different recipes and ingredients to create new kitchen. Many people simply want to create several meals in bulk quantities, vacuum seal them and freeze them for cooking later.

There are nowcookbooks available online with advice and Sous-Vide cooking recipes with a couple of things cooked sous-vide Turkey, brisket of beef, pork chops, eggs, ribs, and include much more ..

had this to say in a number of Wired Magazine in February 2008, Nathan Myhrvold (former CTO of Microsoft) the following about sous-vide short ribs I cook to 130 degrees Celsius for 36 hours of love, "says Myhrvold." They are very fragrant and have a different structure than most stewed meat. "

Sous vide can beFinish with a wide range of vacuum sealers, including industry and external models. When it comes to liquids, must also pay this, do not make a mess. Room sealants were found to be closed due to the nature of the bag and the air cleaner is removed. Once the food, meat, vegetables and liquid are placed in a bag, air can be removed and the bag sealed.

Prepare Quick and easy recipes, Chinese style

Imagine this situation, you are at home during the weekend and suddenly you feel like Chinese food. But then it should be noted that the Chinese food supply favored are close on weekends. Thought out, and get some Chinese food, but the nearest restaurant is far enough and simply do not want to eat this way for Chinese. Now all these problems could have been avoided if only I knew how to cook Chinese food in.Knowing some quick and easy Chinese recipes can really make a difference.

In general, simple Chinese food can be cooked in 15 minutes only 10. Most of those simply involve only the ingredients and fry before you know it, you can enjoy a hot meal with chopsticks. What actually takes much time and preparation. However, there are several tips for preparing food, you can use those to make life easier for you much.

To be able to cook a hot East Quick meal, you should learn how to prepare the ingredients before hand. For example, ginger, peeled, sealed in a jar and refrigerate until needed, and believe me, you need ginger almost all the time. This is one of the most used ingredients in Chinese cooking.

You could also do better if you prepare the meat and vegetables ahead of time. In practice this means you are assuming that long for Chinese food at any time. If you're like> Food, I see no reason why this is not a problem. With meat, you should cut in a standard format, then stir fry is much easier and faster to cook. You can cut the meat with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator. The same is true with vegetables. Wash, cut and save.

I know that this practice is not ideal, but if you really the time or you want Chinese food really fast, one option would be to use frozen vegetables and / orThose canned. You can find in your supermarket, frozen vegetables, which are ready to fry. canned vegetables such as bamboo shoots and Chinese mushrooms are also available. There is no substitute for fresh vegetables, though.

Remember that your sauce concoction. You can use the same sauce recipe for other Chinese dishes. This will save time, experimenting each time you cook. Much can be done with a few tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and also Sugar. Or, another possibility would be to resolve the finished sauce or marinade. Should be different flavors to choose from.

In fact, you will be surprised what you find in the supermarket. There are a number of products that can prepare your own much simpler and easier. canned vegetables and meat, instant soups, marinades and sauces, you can have the Oriental flavor in an instant just by adding water, food, flavors and even in yourKitchen>.

But one of the best tricks, if you're in a pinch is to learn to simplify the recipe. A quick and simple recipe includes simplified Chinese ingredients, preparation and cooking. Although some experiments may in fact lead to incredible food, but if you hurry and someone is waiting for their meals, it would be best to keep the good recipes, at least for now.

Chinese food cooking

Introduction

The first time I ate Chinese food in Germany in 1970, it was really unattractive. Everything was served with a gloppy sauce and seemed to taste the same, because the excessive use of mono-sodium glutamate, which should taste good, but it's really terrible. In 1980 a new type of China-Restaurant is then arrived, the tasting recipes Simple Chinese available. There was a disadvantage, but this new type ofRestaurants were more expensive than the cheap original tasting bland.

Equipment

While there are many tools and equipment you can buy to cook the way to startChinese food for yourself, I need knives and a good wok. Wok in all shapes and sizes, can anti-adhesive, floor plan, and some can even be electric These days, but I prefer my old carbon steel wok with large circular base and a wooden handle. This is called a Pau wok. These are available in Chinese supermarkets across the country and are much cheaper than most other brands. This is an important task, but before you are ready to cookthe wok, you need to make properly. You have to scrub with soap to remove all traces of machine oil and dry thoroughly. Place wok on the stove over low heat. Wipe the inside of the wok with three tablespoons of cooking oil with a paper towel. Let the wok heat slowly for ten to fifteen minutes, then wipe the inside with a cloth. The paper dissolves black. Next off coating, heating and cleaning, until the cloth is clean. Your wok is now ready for use.After use, wash in water and without detergent and dry thoroughly on low heat. You can also use a little oil if desired. This should help the wok off the grill. If you develop Rust, simply rinse and repeat the process.

Everybody needs a wok wok support, especially if you have an electric stove. This keeps the wok stable if you use it for braised or roasted.

You also need something to do with the feeling - a spatula, slice or a skimmer - a wok metal-metal and plastic or woodStick Stick is a wok. Hopefully some of these tools will help you in your journey easy cook better Chinese food.
