Using The Wrong Bread For French Toast? 50+ Cooking Mistakes You Didn’t Know Your Were Making
Have you ever felt that piercing hunger pang demanding you to quickly whip up something in the kitchen? We’ve been there, too, and understand that one may not do things by the book in that situation. But even when we’re not cooking in a rush, we often need to learn we’re doing it right.
Not correctly cooking your food can mean you don’t get all the benefits it should provide or the best taste, but this article will change that. Here are the common mistakes everyone makes.
Your Bacon Doesn’t Need a Preheated Frypan
Before frying any meal, it is often recommended to grease a pan and add a little oil to preheat it. But one shouldn’t cook bacon while working with this same idea. Doing the opposite is needed to get the best bacon, and you should cook it without preheating the pan.
Start by placing your bacon strips in a cold pan so they cook slowly and steadily. That will help the bacon fat to render slowly, giving you an evenly cooked bacon strip.
Wrong Bread for French Toast
Culinary experts believe you can’t make good french toast with every type of bread. And it’s better to use something other than thin-cut bread if you want the best results. The ideal choice is bread with some resistance, like Brioche, which is thick, fluffy, and buttery. It is the most commonly used bread for French toast.
But in addition to that, another great practice for making French toast is to use slightly stale bread. It is believed to be best because it absorbs the egg mixture better than fresh bread.
Who Ever Said the Temperature of Your Raw Eggs Doesn’t Matter?
We commonly believe that the egg’s temperature does not matter when frying it, but that might not be the case. While you can still make a good scramble using eggs from the refrigerator, it is recommended to let it sit at room temperature for four to five minutes before frying.
If you fry eggs cold, they can become a runny scramble, and the eggs may cook poorly. And it is more likely that you will overcook the yolk to ensure the white sets.
You’re Missing Out by Not Twisting Your Bacon
Adding some twist to your bacon menu is easy with the twisted bacon hack. We watch hundreds of videos on the internet where chefs garnish jagged pieces that taste better than the steaks you’re used to. So if you like pork and have yet to try this hack, you’re missing out.
The bacon is softer and crispier because of the twisted shape, and this cooking method is not difficult to follow. All you need are your baking sheet, aluminum foil, and the bacon.
