Just when I thought I've mastered the perfect steak-cooking technique, along comes this aha! tip: start cooking a steak on the fat side first, so there's flavorful fat for the rest of the cooking. And this tip is just number 55 of 100 in Food Network's 100 Greatest Cooking Tips (of all time!) The tip comes from Alain Ducasse, chef of Adour and Benoit in NYC. Perhaps you already cook your steaks like this; if not, you'll find this tip on page 6 of the treasure-trove of cooking tips from acclaimed chefs.
Other tips include adding milk and some salt when cooking cauliflower to keep it white (care of Michael White of Osteria Morini and Ai Fiori in NYC), grinding in bacon with your burgers (Sean Brock of McCrady's in Charleston, SC), leaving butter and eggs at room temperature overnight for best results when baking (Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa), and cooking pasta a minute less than the package instructions and the rest of the time in the pan with the sauce (Mario Batali, Iron Chef America).
Lots of great tips to discover. What's your favorite or your own that hasn't been shared yet?
