Tips & Tricks to Cook Delicious Food

1. Having the right equipment
   • To cook your food evenly and efficiently, make sure you use the right-sized pans and pots. Overcrowding your pan will only hamper your efforts to distribute food evenly throughout the pan.
   • Buy non-stick pans so that oil splattering can be kept to a minimum.
2. Storage
   • Prolong the life of your herbs and spices by storing them in a cool and dark place. Keeping them near the stove - where the heat and humidity is high - can alter their flavours.
   • Keep some food essentials on hand - make sure you have your pasta, sauces and curry mixes for an impromptu cooking session!
3. Learning online
   • The easiest way to improve your cooking skills is to watch and learn online. There are many resources online - from beginner to expert levels, the Internet is a great resource for your next cooking adventure.
   • Take a cue from our collection of home recipe videos or recipe brochures and get cracking.
