Tips for non-vegetarian cooking

  • In Picture: Hamburger

    • When you cook chicken or meat, you should first cook over high heat to seal juices and then lower the heat and cook till tender

    • If you want to store fish for more than a day, first clean it, rub it with salt, turmeric and maybe, a dash of vinegar, and then freeze. It will stay fresh.

    • Don't salt meat before you cook it. The salt forces the juices out and impedes browning. Instead, salt meat halfway through cooking, then taste when the meat is done and adjust the salt as needed.

    • Meat that is partially frozen is much easier to cut or slice.

    • Cooking of hamburgers may take hell of a long time. To cook them a little faster, you could poke a hole in the middle of the hamburger patties while shaping them. This helps them cook faster and the holes disappear once the burgers are done.
