Useful Tips to Improve Yourself in the Kitchen. By following these tips, we will improve in the management of our kitchen. Follow them carefully.

Pour the potatoes into boiling water.

When you boil the potatoes, know that they should never be poured into boiling water. Boiling water damages the surface of your potatoes. Put them in cold water and bring them to a boil.

Tips for becoming an expert in the kitchen

Leave the refrigerator door open for a few minutes.

Leaving the fridge door open even just to pour a drop of milk into the coffee increases the internal temperature considerably, so avoid doing it, close the door immediately.

He mix macina, does not crush. In this way the potatoes will release the starch contained in them and this operation will make your puree sticky. Always use a fork to mash your potatoes.

The seasoning should always be added when the potatoes are still hot. When they cool down the starch it will form a shell that will prevent the sauce from penetrating.

Other useful tips

Add oil to the pasta while cooking

Pasta must always be cooked in boiling water so that the starch does not dissolve in the water, making it sticky. The addition of oil during cooking does not change anything.

Store the bread in the refrigerator

The bread would harden, because the crumb absorbs moisture. This process crystallizes the starch in the bread.

Before leaving

Keep the salad longer

Before putting the salad in the refrigerator, wrap it with a few tears of kitchen paper. This will absorb all the moisture and keep your salad crunchy.

How to keep bananas longer

Wrap some aluminum foil over the banana stems to make them ripen more slowly.

pizza mozzarella

Mozzarella For Pizza

Mozzarella For Pizza. Let's start by listing the major differences between classic mozzarella and mozzarella which is used for the preparation of pizza.

The mozzarella used as a topping for pizza contains less fat than the classic table mozzarella. It has a quantity of fat that varies from 10 to the 15%, that's why it doesn't float on the pizza once it comes out of the oven

Difference between the various types of mozzarella

The classic table mozzarella has a fat content that reaches up to 20%, it should be eaten raw, therefore this increases the taste.

There is also a difference in color between the two types of mozzarella, the one for pizza tends to be more yellow than the fresh mozzarella from the table.

Mozzarella For Pizza

On the pizza is added a quantity of about 100 grams of mozzarella. Mozzarella for pizza contains less water and usually comes with its classic kilo loaf shape.
