Feedfeed Tip When cooking with tomato paste, it's important to...cook it. Forgetting to heat this paste fully through is a common mistake for home cooks. Remember, the tomatoes are not cooked in a paste, so to avoid that raw flavor, make sure to heat and fully cook the paste in your sauce. |

Feedfeed Tip Frying whole spices is a great way to extract tons of earthy flavor. If you don't have whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, or star anise, you can always use their ground counterparts, although the flavors may not be as vibrant. |

Feedfeed Tip When chopping jalapeños, it's important to wear gloves or to make sure that you wash your hands immediately after. If you rub your eyes after coming into contact with the hot pepper, it can easily cause burning, redness, and irritation, so handle with caution! |

Feedfeed Tip Struggling to perfect your rice-cooking skills? Instead of relying on the absorption method, try cooking your rice like you do pasta. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, cook your rice to your desired doneness, and drain the rice when you're done. |
