You guess it's okay, you can cut the vegetables that need to be cut in one go. Avoid cutting vegetables and suddenly turning to other kitchen tasks. In addition, if the same ingredient is to be used in multiple dishes, even if different shapes are required, try to cut them all in one go.

For example, potatoes need to be cut into pieces and shredded in the other, so you should cut the pieces and shreds in one go when cutting the potatoes. This may seem like a dogma, but it actually makes food preparation more efficient. What are the tips for removing the smell when handling fish?

It is recommended to sprinkle a thin layer of salt on the surface of the fish body and let it stand for a while, so that the excess water on the fish body can be analyzed, and it can also effectively reduce the fishy smell. If you plan to keep the fish before freezing or refrigeration, you can salt out the excess water and absorb it before freezing and refrigeration, and sprinkle a thin layer of salt before putting it in the refrigerator, so that the preservation can slow down the deterioration of the fish and prolong the freshness. In addition, if you want to reduce the salt of salmon and other fish with high salt content, you can soak it in light salt water for about 3 hours, and do not soak it directly in ordinary water, as the umami components of the fish body will also dissolve in the water.

What should I pay attention to when freezing and thawing fish and shellfish? When freezing, salt should be sprinkled to freeze, and when thawing, take your time, and do not use waves to thaw quickly. The water precipitated from the fish body during thawing should be absorbed with kitchen paper towels.
