Share some cooking hacks lads

Personally, I found italian soffritto to be an extremely ez way to flavour up your dishes, it's ridiculous with how little effort you can make an otherwise mediocre dish become that much more palatable with this simple trick. Broths, soups, risottos... Use this base and your dishes will be guaranteed to taste good

Olive oil isn't an ingredient, it's a fact of life. It's like eating your food on a plate and then counting the plate as one of the ingredients.

>>21951825
the trinity is not a cooking "hack" it is a basic foundational cooking technique...
>>
>>21951833
Please understand, an italian made that, olive oil has the same normalcy to them as you not counting oxygen among your basic needs

>>21951825
Buy a bottle of shirodashi and add a little to your savory dishes.

Isnt this just a standard mirepoix
>>
That's not what soffritto is and I don't know why anglos think it just means mirepoix. It's a verb, soffriggere, conjugated for the past tense. It kinda means "to fry under", implying it's the base on which the rest of the dish is built on because it's "fried under" the other ingredients. It can be any combination of things in any cooking fat and not specifically carrot, celery and onion in olive oil.
Si può fare un soffritto di pancetta e aglio, per esempio. O di porri e mela in burro. O di spezie indiane.
It can be literally anything fried in anything as long as the dish is built on it. It's a technique, not a specific set of ingredients.

that is not a hack.

you idiots don;t know what a hack is. most of your "hacks" are just recipes and cooking techniques.

use egg slicer for strawberries, and mushrooms

store bananas in a ziplock bag in the fridge to keep them fresh.

any muffin mix is also pancake/waffle mix.

Pancake mix can be muffin mix by adding sugar and fruit or whatever.

when putting foods in fridge or freezer that go rancid quickly (cooked pork or chicken) place hand warmer pack in on top of food separated by plastic or wax paper. it will absorb all the oxygen to stop it going rancid. packs can be reused until they stop heating up. when they absorb all the O2 they cool down.

check the "managers specials" in the meat department, often very good cuts of meat end up there because people think fat is bad.

not exactly a food hack more of a recipe:
take equal parts room temperature butter and cold sour cream mix them together quickly the butter should break up in to tiny pieces and go solid, maybe add salt and pepper (to taste).

put on fresh hot baked potato and the butter won't melt and run off all at one time. it will slowly be released as you eat the potato.

eating salty food nullifies bitter tastes. way better than sugar.
