Importance of Experimenting in Cooking

If you are like me, your cooking skills are limited to anything you can make in 15 minutes. If you are not, you must be a cook with love of learning new dishes to level up your cooking. In either case, this article will tell you expert backed ways to level up your skills. Also, how you can record them.

Technique before Action

Like every art, cooking requires some thinking and innovation. That’s not just trying new things but also doing things differently. So different and new techniques for the same dishes can make food an art before a necessity. It can include using different methods to cook, cut or just different amounts of an ingredient.

Listen to your Mind

There are times when a weird idea to mix something unusual in food comes to our mind but we resist. Sometimes it feels crazy while at other times it leads to something tasty. Yes, the result may not be good every time, but it always will give you a lesson. Plus, history says that Tea was an accident and a pretty favorable one. So, it’s totally worth a try.

A Mess is Okay

Seeing a messy workshop in any artist’s place is obvious and so can be a case here. Within a mess, you might discover what you never knew before. It might also invite some scolding from your housemates. But if a mess is the reason keeping you from trying something new, it might have to go away. And remember, a mess will only get you sorting one thing or the other in your day. Maybe, even your mind and life.

Stay Open to Criticism

When it comes to experimenting whether it is about cooking or life, you need a review. We may like or hate those reviews, but we also need to accept them. Every view we get on our food will only make see what’s missing. And if it is coming from someone experience, we might gain perfection on whatever we were trying too.

If you are convinced and ready to experiment, now is the time to find a way to keep track of experiments. JotJoy cooking and recipe journals are just the perfect way to do it!
