12 foods that we have been cooking wrong for so many years

Wrong cooking: Many housewives cook different products wrong. This may be because they have not received the proper advice. In any case, experts are shedding light on this issue. Read the following list and you will learn many interesting things about cooking. In more detail:

Wrong cooking: Here are twelve products that are cooked wrong

Squid: In the classic recipe, the chefs boil the squid for about 50-60 seconds or boil them in boiling water. Otherwise, the squid becomes rubbery and is not eaten. But if you have overcooked them, continue to cook them for 30-40 minutes. Thus, they will absorb the broth, grow and become soft.

Steak: After frying a steak you may be tempted to cut it into pieces and eat it. But hot meat contains juices and you run the risk of consuming too dry, hard meat if you eat it too fast. To avoid this, let the dish "rest" for 5-10 minutes after cooking.

Wrong cooking - Risotto: Food reviewer Dave Lowry recommends eating risotto with a spoon, starting at the edge of the plate and slowly toward the center. It will keep the dish warmer for longer. A fork will cool the risotto quickly.

Pasta: Usually, pour all the water in which the pasta has been boiled into the sink. This is the main mistake most people make. Hold half a glass of water and add it to the sauce. The salty starchy water will add flavor to the sauce, making it thicker.

Kiwi: Kiwi peel contains a large number of nutrients and vitamins. It also has 2 times more antioxidants and 3 times more fiber than its flesh. So, it is better to eat it with the skin.

Wrong cooking - Broccoli: 100 grams of broccoli cover the daily need for vitamin C. However, this vitamin is destroyed in boiling water and the vegetable loses its nutritional value. To avoid this, it is best to steam it.

Other products cooked incorrectly:

ChickenHealthy eaters are advised to remove the chicken skin before cooking because it is high in fat, which can lead to high cholesterol levels. In order to maintain its taste, it is best to remove the skin just before you start eating. When the chicken is cooked, it absorbs some of the fat from its skin, which makes the meat more juicy and aromatic.

Baby potatoes: Baby potatoes are high in potassium, iron, magnesium, vitamin C and B6. To maintain all the beneficial properties, cook and bake them together with the peel.

Wrong cooking - Red beansAs a rule, canned beans kept in their own juice are usually covered with brine. Not only does it not look attractive, but it is also bad for your health. This brine contains a lot of sodium and starch. To avoid this, pour the liquid and rinse the beans.

Poultry: Roasted chicken or turkey can be dried during cooking. To avoid this, try not to open the oven door while cooking. Each time you do this, the oven loses heat, the cooking time increases and as a result the poultry dries. Also, be sure to let the dish "rest" for 30-40 minutes.

Pizza dough: Those who make pizza stretch the dough with their hands. It's not for show - it's just the best way to make it soft and fluffy. When you open the dough with a rolling pin, you can expel air pockets, preventing the dough from puffing when you bake it.

Dishes with bacon: In many recipes, chefs suggest wrapping shrimp, minced meat or vegetables with bacon before cooking. However, bacon strips can be cooked unevenly and partially burnt. It is better to use pre-cooked pork. Bake strips in the oven at 200 ° C. It will make the bacon more elastic and easier to wrap other products.
