As with any kind of skill, cooking takes practice. All the same, even people who have been cooking for a while may make some mistakes they are unaware of. Because of this, we have gathered some useful tips and tricks for cooks on every level to learn and improve with.
Cook Faster
When you’re making a recipe with beef, and don’t want to let it simmer for 2 hours like the recipe instructs, just follow the recipe as it instructs. Turning up the heat to try and cut down cooking time will cause the meat to become drier as well as reduce flavor in the gravy.

Not The Right Potatoes
When making mashed potatoes, opt for potatoes with higher starch content such as Russets and Yukon Gold. They will produce softer and smoother mashed potatoes. In addition, these potatoes absorb aromas better. Other kinds of potatoes tend to become less creamy, meaning they would need more pureeing which could lead to a not-so-good potato paste.
