The Art of Cooking: Tips for Delicious MealsRemember your first attempts at cooking? You were probably standing in front of the stove, excited because for the first time ever, you were holding a spatula with the intent on using it for cooking. It didn't matter that you didn't know which end of the spatula to hold it by or that rosemary is in fact a spice and not your next-door neighbor, you were about to learn how to make good food (or at least edible food)! Of course your mother was probably standing directly behind you, occasionally (as in every other minute) offering advice and tips that you either did not hear or chose not to hear. "Now sprinkle the salt on¡No, no! I said sprinkle! Sprinkle! Not drop! It's supposed to be like snow, not a nuclear bomb!" Don't worry. Despite what your mother may have said about your cooking tips, there's no wrong way to cook (well, maybe if you cook with your hand on the grill). Cooking is an art. It's subject to your own interpretation, so if you want to add peanut butter to your curry sauce, then by all means...but don't be surprised when people aren't lining up for a taste. Of course you might want to learn a little about the basics of cooking tips. It wouldn't look good if your first cooking experience resulted in numerous cases of food poisoning (as a result of undercooked meat and improperly stored food). It may even save you from a few bad learning experiences, such as using metal utensils on your mom's expensive non-stick cookware. Oh, and keep in mind: When cutting food, cut away from the body. Leaving body parts in the path of the knife may result in their loss. Otherwise, enjoy! Ham Cooking Tips
Roasting/Baking Tips: To add extra flavor, apply a glaze to the ham during the last 30 minutes of the cooking time. Roasting at a lower oven temperature (NEVER roast meat below 200¡ãF) will result in meat that is more flavorful and moist. It will take longer to cook but the results will be worth the wait. Do not use sharp utensils that may pierce the ham when trying to turn it because piercing allows valuable juices to escape. Use other utensils, such as wooden spoons and spatulas for handling the ham. If cooking more than one ham, be sure that there is uniform space around the hams so that they will cook evenly. The hams should not be touching and there should be enough space around them to allow air and heat to circulate. When placing a thermometer in the meat to check for doneness, be sure that the stem is not touching a bone because this can result in a false reading. Preparing better and healthier foods at home is easy!You can significantly reduce the fat in your meals and immediately improve your health with some simple cooking tips. Here are a few for you to think about. Remember, it is easy, and it will be very good for you. Get into a habit and feel better for it!
