Tips:

  • Choose the Right Skillet: Select a skillet that is large enough to accommodate all of the ingredients without overcrowding, and make sure it is oven-safe if the recipe requires it.
  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, prep all of your ingredients by chopping, slicing, and dicing as needed. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
  • Use Fresh Herbs and Spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a burst of flavor to any dish. If you have them on hand, use them instead of dried herbs and spices.
  • Don't Crowd the Skillet: When cooking in a skillet, it is important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will result in soggy food.
  • Sear Meat Properly: If your recipe includes searing meat, make sure the skillet is hot before adding the meat. Sear the meat in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Deglaze the Skillet: After searing meat or cooking other ingredients in a skillet, deglaze the pan with a liquid such as wine, broth, or water. This will help to dissolve any browned bits and add flavor to the dish.
  • Cook Vegetables to Your Liking: Some people prefer their vegetables cooked tender-crisp, while others prefer them cooked until soft. Adjust the cooking time of the vegetables according to your preference.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or other spices to your liking.
