I NEED to learn how to clean-up as I prepare the meal.

[@CAstudentlife101]

Some things need to be cooked for more time and on a low flame, Increasing the flame and cooking it fast doesn't give the same results as slow cooking

[@ToowokeforFlorida]

My first tip is: Always read the recipe all the way through - not just the ingredients. Sometimes there are hidden instructions like - marinate over night, or let rest in the refrigerator (make sure you have room in there) etc.

[@PickUpLimes]

Yesss definitely!

[@TinaandBellesMom]

Or “ turn to page 33” , “Turn to page 67” omg. I’ve learned the hard way. 😂😂🌱

[@NaharTamrin]

[@timvandenbroeck]

Small tip for the pizza dough: put the containers upside down, so the ball rests on the lid. This way you can just drop the ball off the lid instead of scraping out of the bowl.

[@dijonvolner6024]

What a great idea!

[@jsnwayne]

Related to mise en place, I clean up as much as I can *before* I cook. It's a much more pleasant cooking experience if I'm not washing vegetables or straining pasta over a sink fully of dirty dishes. And with a clean counter space, I never feel bad about getting out the proper tools or as many bowls or pots and pans as I need.

[@varshinib1013]

So truee neat n clean kitchen is a must coz if many ppl say cooking is stressful its coz of dis. While for me its a pleasant experience n i enjoy cooking

[@SyeQNP]

@@varshinib1013 agreee, cooking is fun and I love to start cooking with clean counter space & appliances. but I don't enjoy the aftermath tho -- cleaning all the utensils, appliances etc after cooking 😭 I dreaddddd them so muchh

[@varshinib1013]

@@SyeQNP thats y use as less utensils as possible..i do dat my recipes r mostly one pot or ones dat use only d same pot without having to wash it ofc...n in d end when ur done...only one pot left to clean. N if u use mixers blenders dont let it dry pour d contents out...use water n remove everything stuck on sides no wasting lol n then after u pour it the blender is almost clean...so washing aint a big deal at all

[@beckyfox3779]

Yes, totally agree with this!

[@anglophileinpariscooks5537]

I do the same 👍🏻

[@louise1174]

Something I wish I started doing earlier is when using cookbooks, to stick a little post-it note on the recipe page with some notes: was it delicious, was the portion size okay, did you change any ingredients, ... so useful!

Love it!

[@AG-yp3ud]

A cooking skill I picked up over the last year was labelling and dating everything I make. I use old containers to store leftover food and ingredients in the fridge and I always forget what I have in there or when I made it. Just using cheap masking tape I can label my stuff along with the date that I made it on, and it helps me remember what’s in the fridge and what’s not, and it helps me reduce waste as well as come up with creative dishes with something that’s gonna go bad soon. It helped me save soo much money and time in the long run. The other day I made ice cream from leftover chocolate frosting and it was so good, helped me make my cooking skills more versatile I loved this video Sadia! I am not vegan but I have always loved your content and try a lot of your recipes, and I am interacting more with it because you deserve a million more subs :) please make a video about your cinematography and shooting style/ how you edit and shoot food, plus help for beginners. I have been interested in videography and the way you make your videos is so calming and beautiful

[@samantharoseschettler7335]

Often I would eat my meals and think about what I could of added to make the meal better, or ways I could of cooked the meal better or something I forgot to add to the meal. The best tip I was given to stop this happening was to take your time while cooking, step back and think before rushing into the next step. By slowing down I find that I can really think about what I’m doing and when I step back I often have sparks of inspiration of what would be good to add to the meal. It also helps me not forget about ingredients. Plus makes the experience much more enjoyable AND it somehow results in a less chaotic kitchen at the end, I seem to have time to clean up as I go when I don’t frantically rush cooking my meals

[@l.f.3583]

this isn't a youtube video this is a Netflix show or a tv documentary .. what i want to say: the quality of your content is mind-blowing. i am so inspired and a huge fan... thanks girl !!!

[@DemetriPanici]

Working full time has really made me appreciate the importance of good cooking skills and meal prep!

[@didierangelique8288]

One thing that I’ve learned from you is to add water rather than oil! I used to add so much oil because my vegetables were burning and then it was not enjoyable ! Now that I add water it taste way better and I don’t feel bad after my meal! So thank you for all of your tips ! It really helps me to be a better cook 😊

[@masalaonthemove]

A skill that I wish I knew and should have learnt sooner is to mix dry and wet ingredients seperately and then combine both while you make a cake..that ACTUALLY makes so much difference in the texture of the cake! 😍 I used to mix everything randomly but now my cakes turn out sooooo goooood ☺️

[@teresamoscatelli239]

Really? Been too lazy to do it, or the "you're gonna mix them all eventually so what's the difference" mentality, but ill try!

[@masalaonthemove]

@@teresamoscatelli239 yes yes...try for sure and you will actually do it everytime 😀

[@miyounova]

@@teresamoscatelli239 If you're working with gluten, it's because over mixing it will result in something a lot more dense that will be more chewy and won't rise as well. The other issue, but less important if you're making recipes that do require a lot of gluten formation, is that some ingredients might not get incorporated evenly, thereby altering the flavour or the rise of the final product for example (think bits of cacao powder, or a flatter cake).

[@coolkumquats]

@@teresamoscatelli239 If you don't want to mix the wet ingredients ahead of time, that's not a huge problem because dumping them all into the bowl with the dry ingredients will mix them anyway. (Add all liquids before you start stirring!) But mixing dry ingredients before you add the wet ones can really help! It makes sure all dry ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout the batter/dough, which is really important for leavening agents or spices.

[@anpsteph]

I just adore your videos, Sadia. You're always gently informative without being 'preachy' in any way whatsoever. Thank you for that. My tip goes like this-always start with a bigger soup pot than you think you may need. I am still trying to remember this one..haha

[@annafantasia]

Ahh I love this video idea, thank you for the insights! My "I wish I had known sooner" is how to use my stainless steel pans correctly. First they have to be hot enough for drops of water to roll around on them, then you add oil and wait till it barely starts to smoke, and then you put the ingredients in, and it's often best to let the ingredients sit to cook because they'll naturally detach from the pan when they get browned enough. I could have saved myself so much broken-up food and scrubbing if I only knew!

[@fishcats1]

Same. I just in the last year learned to let meat rest until it detaches on its own. I used to try to flip things too soon before they'd released by themselves. It has been a game changer.

[@pfh777]

The tips that have helped the most over time: read the recipe all the way through, mise en place, clean as you go, and take care in selecting the best ingredients

[@Munahidfrommars]

I love the fact that you’re starting new and different types of videos and TikToks! We love some growth 💓💓

[@nikkithasubbiah1356]

Wow this comments section is so informative! Through the years I have definitely learned to get all the ingredients that I need before I start, at least my pantry and fridge items and now I know the name for it! That's pretty cool! Also, I have learnt to clean as I go because things can get chaotic very soon if you don't have a clean workspace and it also helps you enjoy the process of cooking more.

[@Kepler2110]

An important skill is using the heat correctly and understanding that different ingredients require different cooking times. When sautéing onions, I've stopped blasting them on high heat and I now wait a few minutes before adding the garlic which cooks in less time. 😊

[@karou.8947]

[@lorrem2539]

I wish I could have learned to cook sooner! When I became a single parent at 21 I wanted to be a mommy that cooked. I had a few basic skills. Boiling water, I could fry an egg, open jars or cans of premade soups, sauces, etc. I got a crockpot, asked for a food processor for a Christmas present. I learned and fed us pretty well. By the time I was 27 I had met a nice man, we got married and had a child. Food network was teaching me more recipes. I started growing my own herbs a few veggies. I got good knives, pots and pans and was becoming quite good at mincing herbs and garlic. ( what? These things can be used fresh!?). now I have found your channel and a couple others I follow and feel confident that I can try any recipe! Thank you 🙏.

[@Getpojke]

Good video & I agree wholeheartedly. I think another is to learn "foundation" recipes. Like say here in Scotland our parents would've taught us to make a basic staple like mince & tatties [ground meat & mashed potatoes]. Once you have that you can use the skills of cooking the mince to branch out into other things like cottage/shepherds pie, then spaghetti bolognese, lasagne... building all the time, use those skills to take it further with stews like beef stroganoff or stuffed peppers, meatloaf. moussaka. They all have a similar skill set, once you're comfortable with the basics you can exponentially build outwards as your confidence grows. I also think a good grounding is sauces is so important. With a knowledge of sauces you can transform base ingredients into wonderful things. The fist one I was taught was "bread sauce" when I was very little. I thought it was like alchemy & was hooked. Those along with how to prepare the basic carbohydrates like rice, potato, pasta, noodles, pulses & grains means you will never starve & have almost infinite variations to play with. Only found your channel a few weeks ago, really loving it. You communicate your passion for food so well,

[@juliejeffries5888]

[@punamgodse7151]

Very true.Agree

[@a_Hooded_Figure]

Great video! My gamechanger tips are: -add garlic later, if not in the very end, because it tends to burn -fry vegetables until golden and don't hesitate to fry in batches, if stuff starts to burn. Deglaze with water if needed. Adds tons more flavour. -a pinch of sugar goes a long way in savoury dishes, a pinch of salt in sweets. -concerning baking: scale over cups any time. Way more accurate, way less dishes. That was all folks, happy cooking!

A super simple but belatedly learned tip for me was to have a small bowl near my chopping board for small scraps, and the trash/compost bin pulled right up to the counter or island, for larger trash. So that I don’t have to turn or step away. The prep triangle. I’m remodeling my entire kitchen right now, and causing the bin shortcut to become part of the new design, as a refuse cabinet that opens directly on my left.

[@angelnokare6906]

[@lizasalter4258]

I think the best tip I have is when you first make a new recipe - stick to it as close as you can. If you then find you want to substitute or change some ingredients- do that the second time you make it. Some recipe ingredients lists can look v weird and there is a tendency to want to amend it...don't! Its always surprising what things work well together! Love love this channel ❤

Hi Team PUL, totally loved this video, so informative. thank you!

[@flytoheights1]

The cooking skills that I wished I had learned sooner are overall cooking process, good knife skills, taste everything as you go, and good cooking techniques. I still work on these to improve them. I learned the overall process / framework to cook anything. This helped me expand to cook anything and w/o recipes. Or even change recipes with things as I wish. There is usually a lot of cutting in cooking and it can take up the most time. I find good knife skills are very useful to cut down the time and better even cook. I found we naturally have seasoning ability. If we taste things as we go, then we can easily fix the seasoning or experiment with new ideas and still end up with good or at least ok results. The cooking techniques like saute, roasting, etc doesn't change. The natural flavour of the ingredients shine better with proper caramelization or the millard process.

Use kabocha squash in the fall when the pumpkin cravings start....just add grated ginger and cinnamon spices along with a touch of oil to cooked kobocha squash....solves the need for pumpkin everything. I bake them cut in half, seeds removed, face down in a bit of water covering the bottom of a glass oven ready pan. Cook 375 degrees F. for 45 minutes or so. Add more water if it evaporates while cooking. Put one half away for later and add the spices and oil or a bit of water for a low calorie dish...add pepper and enjoy!! Add to tea or coffee to satisfy the cravings and save money on hot drinks.

This came out so so so delicious. It even impressed my mother in law!!! And hubby loved it too. I swapped out the grapes for tomatoes because the grapes at the store weren't looking too hot but I'll keep my eye out since I will be making again. :)

Homemade, hand-kneaded pasta noodles have zero comparison to store bought. I wish I had known about this sooner. HOLY MOLY are they good!!

Something that changed cooking for me was not to have the stove on the highest settings every time I pan fry. It usually led to burnt exterior and uncooked or frozen interior. So lower temperatures led to the correct type of cooking and less panicking when it starts to smoke, which it usually did :P

Always mid-low, or mid-high in some occasion. I rarely have them in high setting unless I want to boil some water
