Ensuring that your kitchen operates smoothly and efficiently can be a challenge at the best of times. At Personnel Solutions, we have put together a selection of very brief and basic tricks that will help make your life in the kitchen that little bit easier. This basic yet often forgotten advice will help you regardless to whether you are, an experienced relief chef or in your first catering chef job.
Avoid Cooking Too Much In One Pan – Not only does this slow down cooking time it can also prevent the food from being cooked properly and thoroughly. Solve this problem by cooking batches one after each other or if you are lucky enough to have the space spread your ingredients and cook them using a number of saucepans.
Closely monitor the time when cooking vegetables – Over cooked vegetables often lose their nutrients and taste and can really spoil the quality of your meal.
Follow The Recipe – You might think you know a recipe off the back of your hand; however, in a rushed and busy environment you might forget one or two vital things. Prior to starting cooking take some time to look over the recipe and ensure you have all the relevant ingredients and equipment needed.
