1. Cooking food sticks to the pan
When cooking at home, many people will encounter the problem of food sticking to the pan, affecting the color and taste of the dish. The solution is very simple: just heat the pan, add an appropriate amount of oil and spread it evenly, then when the oil is heated, pour it out and let it cool before cooking with the food. This way, the food will not stick to the pan.
2. Adding too much salt
If you accidentally add too much salt, you can add sugar to the pot to reduce the salty taste and improve the flavor of the dish. In addition, if the soup is too salty, you can wrap a little rice in a cloth and put it in the soup for a while to reduce the salty taste.
3. How to store eggs at home
Some people may make mistakes when storing eggs. Remember to place the eggs with the small end facing down, not on an angle, and away from strong-smelling ingredients like onions or ginger. After taking them out of the refrigerator, cook them as soon as possible to preserve the flavor of the food.
4. Thawing meat
This is a common issue. First method: put the meat in a plastic bag and let running water thaw it. Second method: still put the meat in a plastic bag, then put it in the refrigerator’s meat compartment, which is the best method. When thawing meat, never let it come into direct contact with water.

6. Tips for delicious soups
Many people misunderstand that the longer the soup is cooked, the better it tastes. However, cooking for too long will reduce the nutritional value and protein content of the dish.
