How many times have you dreaded going into the kitchen to make breakfast, lunch, or dinner? You might need a new perspective. Cooking can be enjoyable and relaxing if you try to see it in another way. Here are a few cooking tips that are sure to get your taste buds tingling and entice your inner chef to come out.  
  
Many people know the health benefits of dark, leafy greens, though because they are so hard to prepare, many people do not eat them often. They often have tough stems, which must be removed. However, a simple tip is to take the leaf and fold it in half along the stem, you can then easily take the stem out of the middle. Use a paring knife to remove the stem from the center of the leaf. Once your unfold each leaf, you have perfectly stem-free greens.
+
Certain methods of preparing vegetables, such as boiling, can reduce their nutrients, due to the length of cooking time. For nutrient preservation, saute, blanch or steam your vegetables or simply enjoy them raw.
  
  Sometimes when someone's grilling a hamburger, it will get stuck to the grill which makes it difficult to get off the grill. Brush the grill with oil so that food does not stick to it. Vegetable oil works great and will not make your grill greasy.
+
  You can make a nice wok full of stir fried rice and bits and pieces of veggies and whatnot from your fridge. Cold rice that was prepared the day before works especially well, but if none is available, just prepare fresh rice with half the water you would normally use so that the final product is drier. Fry your meats and vegetables in some oil. Then add rice and season it.
  
Pay attention to details, such as how you apply the condiments, and all of your culinary creations will be impressive. Most people simply put mayo in the center of their sandwiches. Not only will an even spread look more appealing, but it will ultimately taste better if the flavor is inherent in each bite.
+
When food is being sauteed, make the pan is not overloaded. The extra moisture creates steaming which will prevent the food from attaining the crispy texture that sauteing is known for. Pay attention to the temperature and keep it low.
  
To remove the odors of fish, garlic, onions or other strong ingredients from your hands, rub them on stainless steel for a minute before washing them. It does not matter if you use a spoon, a side of your stainless-steel sink, or a "soap bar" made of stainless-steel; rubbing your hand on it neutralizes the undesirable smell and freshens your hands.
+
Are you cooking using fresh basil? Store basil in a glass jar. Pour water into the glass so that the stems are covered with water. Now, just sit this glass on your window sill or counter and the basil should stay fresh for a few days to a few weeks. If you replace the basil's water enough, the basil can grow roots while in the water. You can cut the basil every once in a while in order to spur further growth, thereby making basil available for even longer.
  
Prepare as much of your recipe as you can ahead of time. It is important to have all the prep work done before you start cooking. Setting a time limit can add stress to your cooking experience. Prepare early to avoid later stress.
+
Use saffron when you are experimenting with spices. Saffron has a bold, upbeat flavor that you won't find in anything else. Saffron is a popular ancient herb which has been adored for hundreds of years. This spice is expensive, but its flavor can drastically improve most of your dishes.
  
Always use rubber, nylon or silicone spoons and spatulas when cooking with nonstick cookware. If you use a harder utensil like metal or one made out of wood, you can easily scratch the pan, and this will make it less effective. Also, some of the pan coating may wind up chipping and getting into your food. This is dangerous as well as unappetizing.
+
To give your pasta sauce some additional flavor, use some of the water that the pasta was cooked in. Set aside a small amount of the water, about one quarter cup. When your sauce is also ready, add in the water before tossing or topping the pasta. The pasta water's starch adds a "creaminess" to the sauce via amalgamation.
  
When you are seasoning meat, try a small piece prior to adding seasoning to the entire thing. Particularly meats such as ground beef will need to be seasoned carefully. After you season the meat, do not cook all of the batch. First, make a little patty out of it and cook that first. You can adjust the seasoning if you don't like it.
+
If you're cooking for someone of importance, do not try your hand at an untested recipe, no matter how much you would like to impress your guest with a gourmet meal. You don't want to risk a culinary disaster in front of people you hope to impress. Impress these people with a meal that you already know you are good at making.
  
When serving a salad at a social gathering, keep the dressing in a dish to the side. Everyone likes a different amount of salad dressing. It is a good idea to allow them to control the amount themselves. Get different kinds of dressings to leave them more choices.
+
Applying some salt on a cutting board when chopping fresh herbs is a good idea. This should add flavor to the herb as well as keep them in place. Do not add more salt as you are cutting the herbs. The salt sprinkled on the board adheres to the herbs, which takes the flavor up to 11.
  
 
Put some thought into layering a salad when you are preparing it in advance for later that day. Those with the highest water content should be at the bottom while the top should have those inclined to wilting, such as lettuce or other leafy greens.
