Cooks: Your best tip
I read an article on The Kitchn about tips a maître d learned by working in a 3-star restaurant, and it made me think about a comment Inmem58 made in the What's for Dinner thread.

I know FMB tried my goldish recipe, he didn't care for it though. I found the meat to be more tender so to speak. What about the rest of you guys?
So it made me wonder, what's the best tip you'd give someone starting cooking, or even a seasoned home cook? One piece of advice that might make someone better in the kitchen?

In other news, here is some advice for non-gourmet foods...

NEVER nuke your cold pizza, put a little oil in a stovetop pan with a lid, set that sucker on low heat and 10-15 minutes later you have leftover pizza with a great crust just as good and often better than last night.

Those directions on the frozen fries and tots, 425-450? throw that out, put your oven on the highest setting short of broil... they cook quicker and they're PERFECTLY crispy outside, perfectly soft inside.
Weird coincidence. I tried this the other night. Holy shit. The leftovers tasted better than the original. The crust gets really crispy. The lid is the key.

Easy6, If I had to choose pizza over cold spaghetti, I'd go with the spaghetti.

Oh, I love that cold too. I don't get how it could be greasy unless you add oil to the recipe. I just use cream and parmesan and a secret ingredient.

The sauce breaks. That's why it's greasy - the oil/butter separates.

I can't do that. But mine doesn't separate that I noticed. It clumps together.
I will tell you one thing is I ONLY use high quality organic cream and I feel that is important. The other secret I got from a chef.

Use butter. Don't EVER substitute for butter in a recipe with anything other than butter.

Don't throw away pasta water. Throw noodles, pasta water, and sauce in a pan to finish up. Butter during this part is awesome.

Don't throw away bones. Save them, freeze them, and make stock. Also, learn to cut up a whole chicken (leading to more stock). Same with unused vegetables and scraps.

Throw garlic cloves in a container and shake the shit out of them to peel

Learn the FDA recommended finished temp. But learn how much you can safely undercook meat. Also, learn to use finger test for doneness

Let finished meat sit and know how much that meat will cook while sitting

Slow and indirect, when you have time, is often a great idea

Salt & pepper during prep. Not just to finish.

If your sauce is pure liquid, simmer and reduce down. Or consider thickeners like corn starch/water or kneaded butter/flour ball

Don't waste the beautiful meat bits in our pan. Deglaze the pan and incorporate into your sauce
