Resturant Hints for cooking
List of Ingredients
* If a recipe calls for cojita cheese and you can't find it, use
Parmesan instead.
* Cooking is getting everything ready. If you prep ahead, then cook,
it's more fun.
* Cooking shows on television are successful because all the grunt
work is done ahead.
* Why use a tomato that's green and tasteless? "Use a canned tomato
instead," he advises.
* In outfitting your kitchen, be sure you have a stockpot. You can
use it for pastas or stews. You need a good saute pan. Be sure you
have a good cutting board and good knives. Do you need a George
Foreman indoor grill? It's like any other gadget. Ask yourself how
often you will use it.
* Buy big shrimp, 10 to a pound. They look better and taste better.
Cook shrimp in the shell for top flavor.
* Heat your pan, THEN put in the oil.
* Don't overcook shrimp; they'll get tough. When sauteing shrimp,
turn them just once. People at home think that constantly playing
with food is cooking. It isn't. Let the pan do the cooking.
* "I've had millions of mistakes, cooking disasters all the time,"
Fearing says. "You have to practice -- practice and experiment."
