5 Kitchen Hacks to Become a Better Chef

Those who cook will know that cooking can be disastrous. Especially during the Circuit Breaker, more and more people are starting to cook at home. They will realise that chaos is about to begin, oil splattering all over on you, meat getting burned all the time or even hurting yourself when preparing the ingredients. Here are 5 Hacks you can use to become a master chef!

1. Make a Dip in the Centre of Your Meat Patty to Reduce Cooking Time

Every time you start frying your meat patty, it always takes up a lot of time and effort to check that it is cooked well. Making a dip in your patty helps to create a thinner patty in the centre so that the patty can be cooked much faster. This is a time saving hack that reduces the chance of eating rare meat or burned meat.

Do not throw away leftover broth, you can store them in the freezer and it can last up to a week. The good thing about putting it in an ice cube tray is that you can choose the amount you require and keep the rest back in the freezer. So easy!

5. Peel Ginger with Spoon

Are you using a peeler to skin the ginger? Use a spoon instead! No need for a special tool to de-skin this oddly-shaped root. Since the peel is fairly thin, simply scrape a metal spoon down the side and you are done.

With this cooking hack you will be able to save lots of time while cooking.
