Sometimes, cooking at home, we feel like we’re on the Food Network. But amidst all our passionate stirring and whipping, we’re missing some culinary essentials. Here are the most common kitchen mistakes you could be making.
1. Adding too much salt instead of spice, herbs and proper seasoning. Salt drown out the flavor and doesn’t let it shine. It can ruin ingredients, so be modest when salting instead of mimicking Salt Bae.
2. On the other end of the seasoning spectrum, you’re using enough herbs, they’re just dried instead of fresh. Dried are more potent and add more flavor, so you need to use 1/3 the normal amount for fragrant herbs.
3. You’re overcooking your veggies. This makes them taste bland and lowers nutrients levels. You don’t have to go raw, just cook them low and slow to keep it juicy instead of burning them at a high heat and voiding them of nutrients.
4. Using the wrong oil. Cooking with oils that have a low smoke point like coconut and olive oil. When cooking with olive oil, watch the temperature, or try avocado/grapeseed oil instead.
