Vegetables

Beans It's always best to let beans soak for at least 4 hours. When cooking bring the beans to a hard boil for 5 entire minutes, this little trick will hasten the cooking. Dried Beans are generally boiled 45 to 60 minutes per meal. Lentils, split peas and mung beans, which have a thinner skin do not require soaking, they are softer from the start. Potatoes are boiled for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not cool potatoes in cold water, unlike other vegetables this will make them go soggy. Stir-frying Vegetables such Asparagus, Broccoli, Snow Peas and Mushrooms are some of the best vegetables to stir fry. Stir-fry with canola oil to stand up to the high heat, once finished toss them into a more flavored oil such as olive or sesame oil. For sauteing Vegetables, cut fairly think pieces if you're in a hurry, chunks take longer to cook. To prepare vegetables, mince onions, slice bell peppers and dice tomatoes. Cut vegetables into bite-sized pieces so they cook through quickly. When adding oil to the pan, wait until the oil begins to shimmer before adding vegetables. Your cook time depends on desired tenderness.

Bread and Bakery Items

Biscuits are baked for 12 to 15 minutes. When cooking biscuits keep the kitchen cool, if the dough seems to soft or warm, put it in the freezer for about 12 minutes. Layer Cake is baked for 20 to 30 minutes. Don't trust your oven thermometer, always have an old-fashioned one sitting in the middle shelf inside your oven. For Sponge Cake, always preheat your oven first and place the sponge cake in the middle shelf. Bake sponge cake for 45 to 60 minutes. When making pies, refrigerate or freeze unbaked crust for 15 to 30 minutes before adding filling. Use a dark or dull metal pie pan, these will absorb the heat better than shiny aluminum for a browner and crispier crust usually baked for 20 to 25 minutes.
