from time to time I see a nifty cooking tip , on a cooking show, a magazine , the newspaper.
Im after ones that are very very simple, solve a small issue elegantly, and until you see it, you might never have thought of it yourself.
I think you get the idea.
Ill start with two : one years old :
on a GreatBritishMenu show, Chef Sat Bains uses his index finger on the top of a knife's blade for extra control. Brilliant !
and just now : CI May/June 16 : to prevent splatters while deglazing, pour your liquid through one of those fine mesh spatter guards, which you've place on the pan first !
simple things like that.
its possible everyone does these two things, but I never would have thought of them myself.
