Something that changed how you cook, a tip most people don’t know or something you discovered yourself. Or even something that you just think is cool.

    Control the temperature of your frying pan or skillet. You need to pre heat your pan with nothing in it, then add oil/fat and wait for that to heat up, before adding what you need to cook. Avoid overcrowding the pan. It’s way easier to do this on gas stovetops. If you don’t do this, you’ll never get any colour, sear or caramelisation on what you’re cooking. The mallard reaction is very important for the flavour of your food. Also avoid turning up the heat too high if you’re cooking something thick only on the stove, you’ll burn the outside and inside of your vegetable or meat will be raw.
