Happy Tuesday all 🌷

Abit of a delayed post , my birthday lunch at Jimmy’s Killer prawns at gateway (Durban)

I enjoy dinning at my favorite restaurant , I do prefer the way they make the food to my liking, especially the steak. It has to be well done , and it never stiff or difficult to eat.

1. Set up the perfect workspace by gathering clean tools, bowls and utensils. And make sure to keep a trashcan within arm’s reach.
2. To create an egg wash, whisk together a large egg with one tablespoon of water until smooth. Use as a glue to seal pastries, then brush on top for a glossy appearance.
3. Peel tomatoes with ease! Cut an X in the top, and then simmer in a pot of hot water for 15 to 30 seconds. Cool down and the skin will fall right off.
4. Get comfortable! Wear comfy clothes and an apron when you work in the kitchen and you won’t have to worry about getting dirty.
5. Invest in a baking scale. Scales are not only an accurate way to measure your cooking ingredients, but they streamline the entire process.
6. Always read and re-read your recipes before you start cooking.
7. Clean as you go!
8. Use two skewers instead of one when grilling or roasting to prevent your food from spinning.
9. Learn and practice the rule of thumb to check the readiness of steak.
10. To prevent butter from over-browning in your pan, add a little bit of lemon juice.
11. Embrace salt. Don’t be afraid to use salt; it pulls the flavors out of your dishes. Cook with kosher salt and season with sea salt.
12. No luck finding shallots? Replace with a combination of onions and garlic.
13. After handling garlic, rub your fingers on stainless steel, like your sink, to get rid of the odor.
14. Ovens can lie. Place a second thermometer in your oven to ensure proper preheating temperatures.
15. Ignore cooking times. Check your dishes by using your own senses (smell, taste, touch) to decide when they are done.
16. The most versatile and important tool is a sharp chef’s knife.
17. Perfect all the different ways to cook an egg.
18. When poaching an egg, add a teaspoon of white vinegar to simmering water to help keep the yolk from breaking.
19. For a great hardboiled egg every time, bring your pot to a boil and then turn off the stove. Let your eggs sit in the heated pot for 12 minutes and then transfer to cold water.
20. Crack eggs on a paper towel on the counter —no shells and easy cleanup!
