Got any problems in the kitchen? Recipes just not working out? Or maybe they worked out so wonderfully that you just have to share with everyone. Whatever the case, let’s talk about it here :D

Not sure that I have any tips, but discovering and learning to use the following things properly revolutionized my cooking:

- Don't add milk or water
- Don't add salt until the very last second before you add the eggs to the pan, as salt alters the structure
- Stir the eggs in the pan with a spatula slowly in a figure-eight pattern
- The lower the heat, the better the result

I recently ordered Blackened Chicken Alfredo from a local Italian restaurant. OMG. DELICIOUS. I had never heard of doing blackened chicken!

Making your own stock for soup is the easiest thing in the world! I have a bunch of bags in my freezer; one for veggie scraps, one for chicken bones, one for pork bones.

just learned a rice trick to avoid burning to the bottom of pan. Boil water, add rice to boiling water, stir for a a min after a min or so turn off burner let it sit and finish cooking itself. I seriously burned rice to my pot every time I cooked no matter how hard Id try to prevent this. thanks to Discovery + and watching Amy Schumer learns to cook. I love her she cracks me up I had to watch. Her husband is a pro and I learned a few things from watching those two.

I bought a kitchen scale and started weighing out my recipe ingredients instead of going by volume. The end results are much more consistent, and there are so many measuring cups and spoons I don't have to wash afterward

I weigh some things like doughs and cakes and for stuff like vinaigrette's I just do it by eye and taste and marinades, just through the spices and oil in and its worked well so far

Use kosher salt instead of fine-ground salt, and sprinkle liberally.

Don’t put knives in the dishwasher! The detergent dulls the blade. A dull knife is just as (if not more) dangerous as a sharp knife!

The deliciousness of a meal is directly proportional to how much onion and garlic you add to it. You can add curry powder to just about any savory meal to make it 10x better (but be mindful with how much extra salt you add bc it usually has salt). Measure your oil.

Don't let people use your non-stick pans! I made this mistake by letting someone cook on my brand new nice non-stick pans and they completely ruined the coat by cooking oil on it way too hot! From now on guests can use the old crappy pans. LOL
