Many experienced home cooks seldom measure their ingredients. They use a pinch of this and a pinch of that, relying on look and feel to know what's right. The key word here is "experienced". For the beginner, it is best to always measure your ingredients. A vital part of your kitchen should be a set of measuring cups and measuring spoons.

Tips & Tricks

Perfect boiled eggs

If you want your egg like this without any dark gray covering the yolk, here's my how!
Prepare the eggs and water in a deep pan or sauce pan.
Turn the stove to high heat. Do not cover the pan.
Once it boils, start timing it for 10 minutes.
When done, remove from the boiling water and transfer to a bowl with tap water. Let it sit for 2 minutes.
Then, it's ready to eat!

Cooking & Baking Techniques

Cooking requires good judgement. We don't just depend on what and how the recipe calls. Not everyone uses the same brand or the same kind of ingredients, nor the same egg size or brand of milk when baking.
Other factors affect the finished product like oven temperature, canned coconut milk consistency, dairy products' (eggs,milk, butter) temperature, stirring or mixing, folding techniques, etc. To read more click here.
