Five tips to end kitchen chaos
Everyone wants to serve culinary delights. But often, it all ends in tears. The rice burns, the vegetables lose colour, and the berries are mushy. It doesn't need to be like that. We explain how to avoid the seven biggest kitchen blunders.
Mushy strawberries
Strawberries can react sensitively to a heavy shower. They develop dents and spots and somehow look wilted. What can you do? Just clean them quickly and turn them into a puree using your hand blender. Then serve your strawberry mousse for dessert with vanilla ice cream or use it to make a delicious sorbet.
Pasta looking for sauce
You quenched your pasta in cold water, as usual, and then, during dinner, half the bolognese landed on your shirt? The solution to this mystery: Pasta don't like cold water. It destroys the starch film around them. The result is: The sauce doesn't adhere to your noodles, but splashes about. So, just add the pasta to your sauce directly after draining and serve together.
Distracted cook - scorched food
The phone rings while you are cooking. After 20 minutes of conversation, the risotto is scorched. What to do? Quickly boil some water in your kettle. Then cook some long-grain rice with thyme and serve as an alternative to the risotto.
Vegetables lose colour
In a pan, vegetables quickly scorch and develop an unsightly camouflage color. What to do? Use the MultiGourmet steamer from Braun. It keeps your vegetables firm and pretty. Cooking fresh vegetables in steam also preserves all their valuable vitamins and minerals. Simply clean, cut and spice your vegetables. MultiGourmet will take care of the rest.
That supercilious know-all
He lifts pot lids, tastes what's inside and hypocritically offers to help. This obnoxious character likes to play the know-all in other people's kitchens. How can you tame him? Don't fret. Just give him small tasks like cutting the onions. And if you don't want to torture him too long, let him use your Braun Multiquick hand blender. It not only cuts onions in seconds, but also garlic and herbs.
