Cooking, baking, serving, these are the activities we do in the kitchen day in and day out. Over time each of us finds methods that make the work easier or faster. We’re also adding our two cents: we bring a few tips that will make your food more delicious than ever before.
Tips for preparing meat and fish
When you cook a spicy sauce for roast or other meat, try adding a pinch of instant coffee to the pot. This little trick will add spiciness to the sauce and also enhance the overall flavor of the dish. If you are cooking goulash and want the meat to become tender quickly, add one tablespoon of vinegar to the pot. If you want to check whether a fish is fresh, place it in a bowl of cold water. If it sinks to the bottom, it is fresh and suitable for consumption. If you want to clean the grill or pan on which you grilled the fish, the best thing to do is use vinegar. It perfectly cleans the surface and absorbs the unpleasant smell.
Preparation and storage of milk
Worried that your milk will spoil soon? Try this: pour the milk into a bowl and add a little salt. This will prevent the milk from becoming acidic and at the same time extend its shelf life. Does milk sometimes burn on the bottom? Before boiling it, rinse the pot with cold water and it will never happen again.

More tips and tricks for you and your kitchen
If you have an opened bottle of champagne at home, place a fork in the neck of the bottle (but never an aluminum one). This simple trick will help you preserve the freshness and the bubbles in the champagne. It is good to store all food in the refrigerator in plastic containers and packaging. This way they will stay fresh longer and you will avoid a mix of different odors. In such an organized refrigerator it is also much easier to keep track and maintain order.
