2. How to Tenderize and Sweeten Meat

How to tenderize meat

To tenderize meat and enhance its flavor, follow these steps: wait for the pan to heat up, then add oil and allow it to boil before frying the meat on both sides until it turns golden. Then, reduce the heat, add a small amount of water, cover the pan tightly, and let it simmer for a while. The meat is ready when there is no pink liquid coming out when skewered.

3. Prevent Oil Splatter while Frying

When frying, including fish or tofu, adding a pinch of salt to the frying pan can prevent hot oil from splattering and potentially causing burns.

4. Dealing with a Fire in the Oil Pan

5. Roll Dough without It Sticking

When kneading or rolling dough, it often sticks to the working surface, causing inconvenience. To prevent this, you can sprinkle an additional layer of flour or refrigerate the dough in a tightly covered bowl for approximately one hour before continuing to roll it out. This will reduce stickiness.

6. Keep Bananas and Plantains from Browning

To prevent bananas or plantains from turning brown, simply squeeze a lemon into a bowl of water and soak them in it.

7. Remove the Fishy Smell from Knives

Knives can develop an unpleasant fishy smell after cutting fish or meat. To eliminate this odor, simply rub the knife with a lemon.

8. Cooking with Butter

When cooking with butter, it is preferable not to melt it in the pan before stir-frying. This can cause the butter to lose its appealing aroma and may not be beneficial for health. Instead, use cooking oil for stir-frying and add the butter only after turning off the heat. Stir well so that the butter melts just enough while retaining its unique and appealing aroma.
