Simple tips to make food preparation simple and healthy.
Summer is the perfect time to experiment on the grill and work with fresh produce to create delicious dishes. July is National Grilling Month, so a food blog post was in order to celebrate this fresh take on cooking for the summer. Whether you are looking for new and interesting foods to eat, tips on cooking techniques, or different recipes, Medi-Rents has it all. We have life changing food tips that can spice up the way you think about summertime food favorites.
Life changing food tips:
- Sauté vegetables in chicken broth as opposed to butter or oil. Your veggies will come out crisper and this is a healthy alternative to fatty oils.
- Marinate meat for ten minutes after it has been cooked. After the meat is done cooking, marinate it in your favorite sauce because it adds intense flavor that can be lost if done beforehand.
- A squeeze of lemon can go a long way. If your dish is complete, but needs a little boost of flavor, lemon can do the trick.
- Sharpen your knives often because a dull knife can be more dangerous than a sharp one.
- For dishes including meat, browning the meat ahead of time will help to create a golden crust.
- To easily core a head of lettuce, slam it down on the cutting board and the core can easily be pulled out.
- Pre-soak pasta and it will cook in less than half the time.
- Slice an avocado directly in the skin to make squares that are easily peeled out.
- Place a damp cloth or paper towel under your cutting board when using it to prevent the board from slipping.
- Coat your cheese grater with non-stick cooking spray for easy shredding and cleanup.
These tips can help with your summer cooking adventures and they will also save you time. Medi-Rents has nutritional supplements for you to keep up with your dietary health needs.
