📚 Essential Kitchen Knowledge

Master these fundamentals to level up your cooking.

🌡️

Safe Internal Temperatures

Chicken: 165°F, Ground beef: 160°F, Pork: 145°F, Steak (medium): 135°F. Always use a meat thermometer!

⚖️

Weigh, Don't Scoop

Scooping flour can add 20-30% more than intended. Use a kitchen scale for baking — it's the #1 way to improve results.

🧂

Salt Types Matter

1 tsp table salt ≠ 1 tsp kosher salt. Table salt is about twice as salty by volume. Always check which salt a recipe calls for.

Rest Your Meat

Let meat rest 5-15 minutes after cooking. This redistributes juices throughout, making it more flavorful and tender.

🥘

Mise en Place

Prep and measure all ingredients before you start cooking. This French technique ("everything in its place") prevents mistakes and stress.

📖 Cooking Terms to Know

Deglaze
Adding liquid to a hot pan after searing to loosen the flavorful browned bits (fond) from the bottom.
Bloom
Activating spices in hot fat, or dissolving gelatin in cold water before heating. Enhances flavor and texture.
Fold
Gently combining a light mixture into a heavier one without deflating. Used for soufflés, mousse, and folding egg whites.
Proof
Letting yeast dough rise in a warm place. Also testing yeast by dissolving in warm water with sugar to see if it bubbles.
Emulsify
Combining two liquids that don't normally mix (like oil and vinegar). Mustard and egg yolks are common emulsifiers.
Brine
Soaking meat in salt water to increase moisture and flavor. Basic ratio: ¼ cup salt per 4 cups water.
