What Not to Do
- Washing berries and herbs long before you need them. Moisture is the enemy of freshness — wash just before using.
- Relegating your stovetop fine-mesh splatter screen to a cluttered corner where you will never reach for it. Tools earn their keep only when they are visible and handy.
- Overcrowding the pan, which steams food instead of searing it. Cook in batches; your patience will be rewarded with actual browning.
- Drowning fresh ingredients in heavy sauces. When produce is good, it needs very little help — a little restraint goes a long way.
- Skipping the rest time for proteins. Five minutes of resting keeps juices where they belong instead of all over the cutting board.
- Overcooking vegetables until they surrender. Crisp-tender beats mushy every single time — start checking a minute earlier than you think.
