Good to Pay Attention To! 7 Kitchen Habits That Make a Big Difference
Let’s be honest — most of us cook on autopilot. A dash here, a stir there, toss it in the oven and hope for the best. But the truth is, a few small habits in the kitchen can change everything, from how your food tastes to how safe and stress-free your cooking experience is.
So if you love food (or just love eating it), here are 7 simple kitchen habits that are good to pay attention to — and might just elevate your cooking game overnight.
1. Preheat Your Pan or Oven… Seriously
That extra few minutes of heating before cooking is not just a suggestion. Preheating helps sear meat properly, ensures even cooking, and prevents soggy baked goods. Don’t rush it — hot surfaces make happy food.
2. Read the Entire Recipe First
We’ve all been halfway through a recipe when we discover the dough needs to chill for 3 hours. Reading ahead helps you prep, pace, and avoid surprises.
3. Dry Ingredients Like Chicken or Veggies Before Cooking
Moisture on the surface of food turns to steam — which kills crispiness. Whether you’re roasting, sautéing, or frying, pat things dry first for that golden, delicious finish.
4. Use Sharp Knives (and Learn Basic Skills)
A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one. Why? Because it slips. Sharpen your knives and learn how to dice, mince, and chop properly. You’ll save time and your fingers.
