Salt is never added to a stock. This is one of the little rules that cooks live by that you might not be aware of. Salt is not added to a stock because a stock is not a finished product. A stock will be made into a sauce or a soup and while during this, it may be reduced. If salt had have been added at the beginning, then the salty flavour would become stronger--maybe too strong once the stock FAIR HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS MILTON November 26, 27, 28th Friday: 2pm-10pm Saturday: 11am-10pm Sunday: 11am-7pm Lori Gysel & Gerry Kentner was reduced to its final state. For better garlic flavour, add the garlic at the end. When fresh garlic is used in a sauce, its flavour does not increase as it cooks. The flavour fades as the sauce Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Ingredients · 1 cup all purpose flour · 1/2 tsp baking soda · 1/4 tsp salt · 1/4 tsp cinnamon · 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature · 1/2 cup granulated sugar · 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed · 1 egg · 2 tbsp water · 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract · 3 cups quick cooking rolled oats · 1 cup raisins til light and fluffy.

Lightly grease two cookie sheets or line with parchment paper. 2. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, set aside. 3. Cream the butter with both sugars in an electric mixer (or with hand mixer) un- cooks. So for a true garlicky flavour, add the pureed or minced garlic towards the end. Or, add a little earlier on and more towards the end of the cooking procedure. If you are sautéing vegetables and want to add garlic, add it after the other vegetables are partially cooked. The reason being that the garlic will burn before the other vegetables have fully cooked if you add the garlic at the beginning. To make a cream soup into a low-fat version, remove the cream from the recipe and add cooked, pureed potato. When you are boiling vegetables (including potatoes) always start with cold water. If you start with warm water in the pot, the vegetables will cook from the outside in, so the outside of the vegetable will be overdone and too soft before the middle of the vegetable ceases to be hard. When cooking potatoes, don't cut the pieces too small or the potatoes get too wet and the finished potatoes will be very watery. This is often a problem when trying to make mashed potatoes. Eggs can be used to thicken soups and sauces. One whole egg or two egg yolks will thicken approximately one cup of liquid. When egg yolk is used to thicken soups, sauces, gravies and fillings, one egg yolk takes the place of one tablespoon of flour. Have fun and keep cooking!
