You desperately need this, right – the ones who stay outside, all alone? Living away from home has its own ups and downs. It may look like Heaven on earth for some, but the ones who actually stay, know, what it is to live alone. The biggest tragedy always happens in the morning – what to cook? With due respect to good old Maggi, too much of it can’t be taken for long. You have to go to the kitchen, take out things and cook, and yes, on your own. Let’s see some of the kitchen tips which can make your mornings a little less bothersome:

14. Heating the Pan is very Important

Heating the pan is very important for cooking, you know it by now. You must always put oil on your pan after it’s fully hot. Do not start the heating process with oil in the pan – this way the oil loses its nutrients and takes up a huge amount of time. You’ll know the oil is perfectly heated if you sprinkle few drops of water on it. If it sparkles, it’s ready. What you can do is put the pan on full flame, make the preparations and when it’s ready, pour the oil and start cooking.

13. Boiling Woes

Boiling vegetables for a long time takes away all their nutrients. There’s no point in having them that way. However, mummy won’t be even remotely happy if you haven’t had vegetables. What you can do is boil the water to 100 degrees in a pan and then add the vegetables. It’ll take about a minute or two to boil while keeping the nutrients intact. Use this vegetable stock in your cooking in place of water, it’ll taste lovely.
