Cooking

Cooking can be fun if you know some of the basics of cooking. Sometimes you can take this basic knowledge and expand on it to be very creative.

To develop culinary skills is to develop a true art.

On this page I will explain certain techniques as well as maybe some simple recipes to help get started to developing much more creative skills.

One of the recipes that I like to make is pizza sauce which consist of

  1. Tomato Sauce
  2. Tomato Paste
  3. Basil
  4. Oregano
  5. Garlic (Fresh or powdered)
  6. Olive Oil
  7. Balsamic Vinegar

This is heated in a saucepan over the stovetop for about 30 minutes on Med-Low

It's pretty basic, but can be added on to.

Once you add your favorite toppings then you've got a delicious pizza.

Some of the measurements in certain ingredients are in oz. and grams.

These are for perfection.
One of the culinary problems I used to have was perfect timing on boiling an egg.
It took me forever to get it right, I found that 13 minutes was the perfect amount of minutes for boiling the perfect egg.
Here is the steps to follow for this.

  1. Preheat burner to high(if you have a gas burner this step isn't necessary)
  2. Fill pot with water and place the number of eggs you wish to boil in it.
  3. Set on preheated burner and bring to a boil.
  4. Once the water starts to boil set timer for exactly 13 minutes.
  5. After 13 minutes is up remove from burner immediately.
  6. Drain out water and replace with cold water immediately to stop the cooking process.
  7. Repeat several times until eggs are completely cooled.
  8. Once they are cooled then prepair them however you wish.
Good Luck!

I will add more to this page on my website later as I think of new and exciting ways to cook. Also as I go along I will give cooking tips that should help better some recipes.
