Re: Give me some cooking tips.

[(Anonymous)]

If you want to bake, get a thermometer to go inside your oven (preferably one you can set on the rack in the position where your food will go) to make sure your oven is at the right temperature. Not all ovens are calibrated properly or the temp gauge may be in a place that gets hotter or cooler than the middle where the cooking actually happens.

If you want to freeze food for later (e.g. a big batch of soup, some fresh meat you just bought, leftover whatever, etc.) and have enough for more than one meal/portion, split it into portion- or meal-sized chunks and package it so it freezes separately. Otherwise you will have to partially thaw it to get the amount you want. When I buy meat, I'll position it in a big zip-log in such a way that I can fold it up and separate the portions, then I can put the folded wad in a second zip-loc and put it in the freezer. With bacon, I separate it into pairs of strips (2 strips = 1 portion), cut each pair in half so they won't be too long for my pan, then put them in a bag so I can accordion fold to separate the pairs. Freezer-safe jelly jars are good good for things like pasta sauce portions.

Make pie dough from scratch. That's like 90% of the secret to a good pie.

Do the dishes and tidy/wipe down the kitchen regularly so you have clean spaces and clean tools to work with.

Even if you are a single person living alone, making multiple portions of things at once is great since now you have lunches to take to work or easy meals to reheat for dinner. How much you can make in advance depends on the food, though. Some things will get moldy or dry fairly quickly or just don't taste good when no fresh, so you have to experiment.
