Partially chill meat so it becomes easier to slice into thin strips. If you are making Asian dishes, such as Thai or Chinese food, this is a great idea. When the meat is frozen slightly, cutting it is easier because the fibers in the muscle do not tear or stretch when slicing. Allow the meat to thaw prior to cooking though, so that it can cook evenly.

If you find yourself with leftover homemade sauce, freeze the leftovers in ice cube trays. All you need to do next time you want to use it, is reheat in a saucepan. Freezing the sauce in this manner will keep it fresh and ready to be reheated.

There's something you can do to save your effort and your sauce. In a bowl, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of water. Add the mixture into sauce and set to simmer in order to thicken it. Add the starch solution slowly, and stir constantly so that the sauce does not become too thick.

Try different liquids in recipes calling for water or milk to add some new flavors to your meals. Use chicken broth, beef, or juice in places where you would normally use water. As an alternative to milk, try using thinned sour cream, yogurt, soy milk or buttermilk. Using different liquids is an easy way to make an old dish more interesting and more nutritious.

Invest in a knife sharpener to make cutting any ingredient easier. Dull knives are not only difficult to cut things with, but they are also very dangerous to use. It's easier to hurt yourself with a dull knife by forcing it to cut through something than by using a sharp knife to easily slice through it.

They will soak up much of the water, as if they were a sponge. Try using a clean, wet cloth and wiping them off instead.

When cooking pumpkins, first set the pumpkin upright; then slice it down the center, cutting it in half. On separate baking sheets, place both halves with the cut side facing down. On both sheets put a tiny amount of water, then at a temperature of 350 degrees bake the pumpkin for about an hour.

It is better to sprinkle your seasoning little by little rather than putting it all on at the start. This method will ensure that the flavoring is spread out and even, and that the ingredients are enhanced to the best they can be.
