# 5 Kitchen Tips You'll Never Forget

Cooking is fun and easy if you know the right tricks. Here are five tips that will help you in the kitchen:

If you want to get a nice sear on your steak, don't add oil to the pan before you're ready to put it in.

To get a nice sear on your steak, don't add oil to the pan before you're ready to put it in. You want a hot pan, so when you place the steak down, it will sizzle and give off some liquid that will help form that caramelized crust. Don't move it until then; flipping too soon can cause moisture loss and prevent browning. Remember: if you're using an oven or broiler as your heat source, flip every two minutes or so; if using a grill (or stovetop), flip about every minute or so for medium-rare results. And once again—don't overdo it!

## For great-tasting coffee, store your beans in the freezer.

You'll want to store your coffee beans in a dark, cool place. The freezer is just that. It will keep them fresh for longer, and their flavors won't become stale or absorbed by odors from other foods.

### A few tips:

Don't grind the beans until you're ready to brew your pot of coffee (or espresso). Grinding the beans releases carbon dioxide into the air, which causes oxidation—and once oxidized, the flavor of coffee can be permanently altered.

Make sure you buy whole bean coffee rather than pre-ground because grinding releases more carbon dioxide than roasting does and makes it harder for you to control how much air gets into contact with them during storage (which speeds up oxidation).

## Some nuts will stay fresher if you store them in the refrigerator.

If you're the type of person who likes to keep a variety of nuts on hand, this tip is for you. Nuts in shell can be stored at room temperature for up to six months, but if you want them to stay fresh for longer than that—or if you prefer not to shell them yourself—you can refrigerate them as well. Just make sure they're kept in airtight containers so moisture doesn't get inside and spoil them. Keep walnuts and cashews away from other foods that have strong odors (like onions), since they'll absorb those scents over time. Melted chocolate and honey are also no-no's because they contain sugar, which can promote mold growth in nuts.

Nuts should not be frozen but rather stored in an airtight container away from heat sources or sunlight

## When making scrambled eggs, don't add salt until the very end of the cooking process.

Salt will prevent the eggs from cooking properly. It does this by inhibiting their ability to coagulate. This is why, when making scrambled eggs, you shouldn’t add salt until the very end of the cooking process—when they're just about ready to be eaten. If you add salt early on in your recipe's preparation, it will cause the proteins in your eggs to clump together too much and turn into one large mass that can't be broken apart any further during cooking. If this happens before you serve them up, no one is going to want them!

Salt also makes things taste too salty (and bland). We've already talked about how adding salt early on in cooking prevents proper coagulation of egg proteins but another reason why adding it at this stage causes problems is because it makes everything taste super salty as well! There's no way around this; if there were then everyone would do it all the time because we all know what happens when someone adds too much salt: They get overwhelmed by its flavor and find themselves unable to enjoy any other food item for hours afterward.

And finally -- here's a spoiler alert -- if your eggs have been sitting out for too long after being cooked then adding some extra salt won't help either since doing so will only make things worse since now both your hands AND mouth are covered with sticky residue from touching those guys earlier--sticky residue which contains high levels of sodium chloride (aka table salt).

There are lots of reasons why you should not wash your chicken before you cook it.

The USDA recommends that you wash raw chicken before cooking it. But there are a few reasons why this is not such a good idea.

Chicken contains bacteria like salmonella, campylobacter, and ecoli that can make you sick if they're not killed by the heat of the oven or grill. These microorganisms can cause food poisoning and diarrhea, but washing your chicken won't kill them—and it can actually spread them to other foods in your kitchen or even onto your hands and face.

If you do wash your chicken before cooking it (or if someone else does), chances are high that some water will get on other things around the sink—maybe even on yourself! That's because when people work with raw poultry, they tend to get splashed by their own hands as well as from their faucet handles and taps themselves. If you've ever spent a lot of time around coleslaw at picnics or potlucks (which often contain raw cabbage), then I'm sure you know how easy it is to pick up various types of bacteria from unwashed surfaces!

These tips will help make cooking easier and will help keep you healthy!

Always wash your hands before you start cooking!

Make sure your work surfaces are clean and dry before you start cooking, so nothing gets contaminated or dirtied up.

Always check the label on anything you're using to make sure it's safe for human consumption, especially if it's a food product that could be dangerous if eaten by mistake (like baking soda).

Wash all knives after using them in the dishwasher, so they're not covered with germs from other people's dirty dishes!

## Conclusion

Cooking is a great way to exercise your creativity and get some delicious food on the table. If you follow these tips, you'll find that preparing meals for yourself or others will become much easier and more enjoyable!
