Cooking tips for biggners

Introduction

When you're cooking for a bigger

group, there are some tricks that

will make your life easier. You

don't need to be an expert chef or

spend hours in the kitchen--just

follow these simple steps and

your next dinner party will be a

breeze!

Cut your food into smaller

portions.

If you’re cooking for a large group,

consider cutting the ingredients in halves or quarters instead of

doling out one big plateful.

For example, if you have an 8-

pound chicken breast, cut it up

into eight pieces—instead of

serving it on a big platter with its

original size intact. The same goes

for meat: If you have a 20-pound

pork shoulder roast (about $3 per

pound at most grocery stores), cut

it into four smaller roasts ($5 per

each). And if you want to use up

any leftovers from last night's

dinner in this week's meal plan?

Consider just using half of thatleftover pizza crust as

breadcrumbs (see below).

Use more herbs and spices.

Use fresh herbs and spices.

Use dried herbs and spices.

Add more than you normally

would to your recipes, especially

when cooking for a large crowd or

party. You can also use the same

type of herb or spice in multiple

dishes at once—for example, if

you’re making chicken soup with

basil, parsley and oregano, add

those three ingredients to tomato

sauce while it cooks instead of just

one herb at a time as usual!

Cook your food in a large batch.

Cook your food in a large batch.

Cooking in large batches is a great

way to save time and money, and

it can also help you get the most

out of your groceries. If you're

preparing multiple dishes on one

day (or even just one meal),

cooking all at once will allow you

to prep everything together and

then store it away until needed.

This is especially helpful if there's

any chance that something might

spoil while waiting for an event or

function where someone else is

cooking—the fact that they've

already cooked up their portionmeans they won't have much left

over for anyone else who wants

some too!

Get creative with leftovers.

Get creative with leftovers.

Use leftover meals for lunch. If

you're having a big dinner and

want to save some of the leftovers

for another day, put them in the

fridge overnight or for several

hours before packing them up for

lunch the next day. Then just heat

up what you need in the morning

and enjoy!

Use leftover dinners as snacks

during the day (or as dinner). If

you have enough time on your

hands before cooking dinner

again, make sure that your fridge

is stocked with plenty of snacks so

that when hunger strikes at night

it won't be too difficult to satisfy it

with something other than

another meal!

Cooking for a bigger group isn't as

hard as you might think

If you've got the room for it, or if

you're cooking for a larger group

of people and want to avoid

getting distracted from the task at

hand, it's important that you have

enough ingredients on hand. You

may be surprised by how many

things can go wrong whenpreparing food for a larger crowd—

the heat source might be too hot,

for one thing. If that happens and

someone burns themselves on the

stovetop (or worse), then

everyone else will be curious

about what happened. They'll ask

questions like "Why are we

cooking with such a small pan?" or

"Why did my hamburger look like

this?" And while all these queries

are reasonable enough under

normal circumstances (and don't

worry: they'll get answered later),

they aren't any fun during dinner

time!

Conclusion

We hope this guide has given you

some new ideas for cooking for a

larger group. Remember that the

best way to prepare is by starting

with a large batch of food and

then working on smaller portions

at the table. If you are looking for
