Yummy right?

All meat lovers firmly believe in the potential of any dish containing meat. It has great potential to rise above everything and surpass all expectations. Meat lovers are believers, they have faith and experiment with the new ways of cooking While you might be an enthusiast and love to eat meat, you might not be the best cook. So there are some things you can try besides following recipes step by step that might escalate the standard of your dish. 

Set the right temperature

First of all, know the temperature you are using to cook meat. A technique called browning is simply cooking your meat at a higher temperature. It is very useful dueto the Maillard Reaction due to which the meat’s flavours are greatly enhanced. Make sure that the meat you use is completely dry and the pan is preheated well. The fator oil should be simmering before you put the meat in the pan.

Select the right utensil

The key is to avoid overcrowding the pan; you should cook meat in batches instead of putting all the pieces in one pan. However, for larger cuts of meat, the smarter approach would be to cook the meat at a low temperature giving it more time. This usually keeps larger chunks of meat moist and lets the center reach the same temperature without burning the outside layers of the meat. Be mindful of the temperature as much canbe lost by overlooking this parameter.

Cook for the right duration

You can also try this cooking method called carryover cooking, which basically means that you remove the meat from the heat 5 degrees lesser than the desired temperature. This is to avoid overcooking or overheating of the meat. It is a commonly known fact that meat continues to cook for sometimes after it is removed from heat. But this doesn’t hold true for poultry or seafood so it is important to remember these differences while cooking non-vegetarian meals. 

Once you do well with these hacks, you are probably qualified to try more refined techniques.
