Common Cooking Mistakes &  How To Fix Them

BY: ANAMIKA AGARWALA

Cooking too much food at once lowers the pan temperature and causes steaming instead of proper browning.

Overcrowding The Pan

Adding food to a cold pan leads to uneven cooking and poor texture.

Not Preheating The Pan

Incorrect salt levels can ruin flavour, making dishes either bland or overly salty.

Using Too Much Or Too Little Salt

Unevenly chopped ingredients cook at different speeds, affecting taste and texture.

 Ignoring Knife Skills

Cooking vegetables for too long makes them mushy and reduces their nutritional value.

Overcooking Vegetables

Failing to taste food during cooking leads to imbalanced seasoning and flavour.

 Not Tasting While Cooking

Incorrect heat settings can burn food outside while leaving it undercooked inside.
