Cooking Tips
I always say anytime you’re boiling anything or you’re cooking and it takes water, we got to level it up, right?
You want to let that, I use kosher salt. That’s a coarse grind. We want that to obviously, you know, dissolve in here too. It’s just like enhances the flavor that’s in here, right?
Anytime we frying or anything, anytime you insert something in there, whether it’s room temperature or not, it always brings the temperature down.
If you have a Pyrex or something like this, I don’t care if we get a little pasta in there. You want to save yourself a little bit of that pasta water, right? I like to save myself like something about, hmm, about a half a cup to a cup.
You want to use cold water. And we’re going to shock it to stop the cooking process.
When they release themselves, they good, right?
We’re not trying to cook these all the way through, you know?
I want to get color on all sides.
If you guys got a screen slider protector, get that. Because listen, somebody got to clean all of that oil around this, right?
Don’t forget, you guys, you want to have some hot, soapy water, you know, next to you. So, I wash in between as I’m cooking and waiting, you know what I mean? So, I don’t have that chore.
I just don’t want to burn my garlic, right? We want to go ahead and let the heat release its aromatics.
Key is just don’t burn it, right?
When you’re cooking it, how does it smell to you? Because the aromatics should be great.
We want to just do it like this. And we take our time, especially for all of my new people that’s in here. And when you’re cooking low heat, it gets you there. It might take you longer to, you know, achieve your goal, but you don’t have to worry about overcooking it, burning it or anything like that, right?
But if you’re new and you want to have success, 100% guaranteed, do it like your boy show you.
I don’t put oil or butter. I just shock it and leave it in there. And every now and then, I get in there with my hand and I stir it so they don’t stick, right?
Once you coat it with that oil, it makes it a little tough for it to, you know, stick.
You don’t want to put too much in there. We’re doing it for the flavor.
What that does is it helps it stick.
If you feel like you put too much in there, you can just always add a little bit more parm.
