#Things to consider
- There are different types of salt. Table salt should not be used for salting food. It tastes slightly metallic. Only use kosher or sea salt when preparing food. Don’t be afraid to use salt. Salt is a flavor enhancer.
- Fat has three distinct roles in the kitchen: as a main ingredient, as a cooking medium, and as seasoning. Fat sits between the heat and the food because it can hold temperatures much higher than any food can. Fat is a protective coating when food hits the pan. Fat has the capacity to affect texture.
- Preheat the pan before adding oil, then preheat the oil before adding food. You want to achieve that sizzling sound when adding the food. Otherwise take it up and wait for a bit longer.
