5 cooking mistakes every beginner makes - and how to avoid them
Do you feel like every second meal is a failure?
Worried about burning something again or "doing it wrong"?
Let me reassure you: this is perfectly normal.
Cooking is a learnable skill - and we all make the same mistakes when we start.
In this article I will show you the 5 most common starting mistakes, and that too, how to avoid them easilywithout stress.
.
1. You don't read the recipe in advance
Many people get it wrong from the first step: start cooking without having read the recipe.
Then halfway through, it turns out that you should have added 2 hours of marinating or a blender...
💡 Solution:
-
Always read the recipe from start to finishbefore you start.
-
Prepare all the ingredients and tools - it's called put into place-for.
2. You start cooking over too high a heat
"The bigger the fire, the faster it will be ready."
Unfortunately this is not true - only burns the food on the outside and leaves it raw on the inside.
💡 Solution:
-
Use medium or medium-low temperatures, especially for pan-fried dishes.
-
Patience = a nicer, tastier end result.
3. Spice up your food
Most beginners prefer too little seasoningbecause he is afraid of making mistakes.
The result? Tasteless, no food.
💡 Solution:
-
Use basic spices salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, basil.
-
Have a taste while you're at it! It's not cheating - it's the basis of professional cooking.
4. You put the ingredients in the wrong order in the pan
Many they throw everything into the pan at once, so nothing cooks well, it just stews together.
💡 Solution:
-
Always start with the most time-consuming ingredient (e.g. meat), followed by onions, vegetables and spices.
-
Don't overcrowd the pan - otherwise it will cook, not fry.
5. You start with too complicated a recipe
Pinterest 12 step recipe? Three cooking techniques?
Don't start here. Complexity only leads to frustration.
💡 Solution:
-
Start with simple, 15-30 minute recipes.
-
A well-made, light meal gives you much more confidence, as a moderately successful complicated catch
🚀 Summary
- Read the recipe
- Don't rush the flame
- Spice it up
- Pay attention to the order
- Choose simple
