Choose to dice up any fruits or
veggies before moving on to the
meats.
This will prevent any bacteria
from your raw meat from
contaminating your fruit or
vegetables. If you forget to
prioritize cutting, wash both your
knife and cutting board before
continuing to cut and cook.

We know that before we can cook something, it should be defrosted first. But
did you know that even if you have defrosted something in the fridge, it should
be taken out to reach room temperature before cooking? The reason being: the
outside will overcook by the time the internal temperature rises.
Also, let frozen vegetables defrost before placing them in a greased pan. If not,
the steam created from the “frost” could burn you as it's cooked.

5. Rule #1 of pasta making: salt the water
when boiling. This gives your food flavor
before any sauce is added to the
noodles.
Rule #2: DO NOT RINSE the pasta. The
water that boiled the pasta contains
starches that make the pasta more
flavorful and helps the sauce stick to the
pasta.
Rule #3: DO NOT ADD oil to the boiling
water. The only time to add oil to the
pasta is after cooking because it allows
it to cool without sticking together.

6. People tend to move food
around often while
cooking thinking it keeps
the food from burning.
Instead, allow the food to
sit until it is golden
brown. This helps the
juices to stay within the
food and keeps the cook
time to a minimum.
Let It Sit
