list of cooking skills

The benefits of cooking with a cast iron steak skillet are many. A cast iron steak skillet is a great way to cook delicious steaks without a stovetop or oven. Special tools are available that can make the process easier. Cooking with cast iron skillets is easy if you keep your food well-seasoned. To prevent charring, avoid over-searing steaks. A digital instant reading thermometer is another useful tool. This will help you ensure your steaks are cooked to the correct internal temperature.

First, season the steak with plenty of olive oil. Place your steak in the skillet. Make sure to press down slightly. Next, heat the skillet to medium high. The oil should appear shiny but not smoky. When the skillet has reached a sufficient temperature, reduce the heat to medium. Season your steak while the cast iron skillet heats. This will prevent it frothing and help it brown.

After seasoning your steak, heat it up in a pan. Add a generous amount butter to the pan and heat it up. Then, use a large spoon to baste the steak with the butter. Place the steak on a plate. Let it rest for about 10 minutes. You can serve it either as it is or as you wish. You should season the meat thoroughly before cooking.


Once the steak's done, you need to remove it from its pan. Once the steak has been cooked, you can add lemon juice or rosemary to it. This will give your steak a rich and delicious flavor. Add some red wine to the pan to make your steak even more delicious. Be sure to cover the skillet with a lid before you begin cooking. This will ensure that the meat is cooked evenly and stays tender.

Before cooking, make sure the pan is hot enough. Cast iron steak pans can be used for cooking a steak. It is best to heat the cast iron skillet first with oil.

You should place the meat on a tray, and then cover it with a plate.

How to make a perfect eggroll

Omelets have always been a favourite food to eat for breakfast. But how do you make them perfectly? Many different recipes and methods have failed to work for me. So I wanted to share some tips and tricks so that you can make delicious, fluffy omelets every morn.

We should first know that eggs are very temperamental ingredients when making omelets. It is important that eggs are fresh from an organic market and kept cool until used. If they are not kept cold enough, the whites won’t form properly. The yolks will also break down too quickly and become runny. Your omelets will look strangely colored if this happens. If you intend to cook your eggs immediately, it's best to use room-temperature egg.

Another tip is to separate the egg before adding it to the pan. You don't want any white to get mixed up with the yolk because this could cause the omelet to curdle.

You might burn the bottom of the egg if you place the egg directly on the stovetop. This could ruin the texture of your omelet. Instead, put the egg in the microwave for 10 seconds before putting it into the pan. The microwave heat cooks the eggs just right without overcooking them.

Next, let's talk about mixing the eggs. When mixing eggs, it is important to thoroughly beat them. To do this, take the bowl from the mixer and flip it upside-down. Next, shake the bowl vigorously. This will whip the air around the bowl and mix the egg well.

The fun part is now - adding the milk to the mixture. First, pour half of the milk into the beaten eggs and then fold the eggs gently into the remaining milk. You don't need to worry if streaks remain. They will disappear once you flip your omelet.

After you have folded the eggs, heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil has started to sizzle, turn the heat down to low. Once the oil starts getting hot, add 1/4 cup of butter to the pan and swirl it around to coat the entire surface of the pan. The lid should be carefully opened. Sprinkle salt in the pan. A pinch of salt will prevent your omelet from sticking in the pan.

Once the omelet forms, cover the pan again. Let the top side set completely. Flip the omelet with a spatula, or flip it upside down. Cook the other half for another minute. Take the omelet out of the pan and immediately serve.

This recipe works best when you use whole milk.
