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.
