Tips:
Soak beans in 3-4 times as much UNSALTED water as the quantity of beans
Soaking beans is necessary because:
They need to absorb some moisture in order to cook evenly
Soaking keeps beans from splitting open
Soaking breaks down the indigestible sugars that cause intestinal problems
Soaking maximizes the nutritional content of beans
Quick soak vs. long soak:For quick soak
Bring beans to a boil for 3 minutes, and then remove from heat, cover pot, and set aside for 1-4 hours
Drain beans and get rid of soaking water
Rinse beans so that sugars do not remain
Cook beans as directed
Long soak
Soak beans in cold water overnight or for 8 hours
Drain beans and get rid of soaking water
Rinse beans so that sugars do not remain
Cook beans as directed
Puff pastry:
Available pre-made in the frozen section
It is many-layered, consisting of pastry dough and pieces of chilled butter – when cooked, moisture from butter creates steam, causing dough to separate into many flaky layers
Many applications, both sweet and savory – cheese straws, pot pie crusts, wrapping for encasing meats, flaky cookies like palmiers, pastries like Napoleons, croissants, pain au chocolate, etc.
Recipe Rescues:For a vegetarian black bean soup - omit the ham hocks for a vegetarian black bean soup, but make up for it by seasoning with extra salt.For a chunkier soup - only puree half of the soup in the blender and add it back in to the chunky soup.Other sausages to use in the Saucisson - any type of smoked cured sausage containing pork, beef, or a combination.

Tips:When buying pots and pans, consider these factors:
Conductivity: A good pot or pan should transmit heat efficiently.
Weight: Heavier, thicker gauge pans distribute heat more evenly and hold it longer, preventing scorching and promoting even browning.
Non-reactive: Some materials, such as aluminum, react to acidic ingredients, imparting a metallic taste and an unappetizing gray color.
A good starter set of pots and pans might include:
10-inch skillet
12-inch skillet
2-quart saucepan
4-quart saucepan
Stockpot
When selecting knives, keep in mind the following:
A good knife will be sturdy and well-balanced.
Look for knives made of high-carbon stainless steel.
The "tang" (the handle end of the blade) should extend all the way to the end of the handle.
Most importantly, the knife should feel comfortable in your hand.
Recipe Rescues:If potatoes stick to the bottom of the pan - Use tongs to turn them occasionally while cooking, and use a wide metal spatula to scrape them up (use a wide hard plastic spatula if you have a non-stick skillet so as not to damage the finish). Next time, try cooking potatoes in a non-stick skillet, or use a little more fat.If your chicken is undercooked - Cook the first side until the edges become white and opaque; then flip the breasts and cook on the other side until firm to the touch. If you slice the chicken and it is still pink in the middle, return the slices to the pan and continue cooking until completely cooked through.
