Kitchen Notes
Small habits, better results
A few practical notes we come back to in almost every recipe.
Prep
Read It Twice
Read the full recipe before you start cooking, not while you're cooking. It's the single biggest fix for rushed, uneven results.
Seasoning
Salt in Layers
Season as you go instead of all at once at the end. Each layer builds flavor that a single pinch at the finish can't replace.
Heat
Let the Pan Preheat
A pan that isn't hot enough steams food instead of browning it. Give it a full minute or two before anything goes in.
Storage
Cool Before You Cover
Let hot food cool slightly before sealing it in a container. Trapped steam is the fastest way to soggy leftovers.
