Learning some of the best secrets from professional chefs can really help, too. Here, for your cooking pleasure, are secrets from the pros that will help you avoid making five critical mistakes. invariably make the mistake of reading the recipe as they go, instead of read- ing it before they start. A quick read before you get caught up in the cook- ing will make it less likely that you'll add ingredients in the wrong order, leave something out or do anything else that may compromise your dish. Think of your recipe as an instruction manual for your meal, and your first instruction is to read the instructions. Start in a hot pan. Unless your Read the recipe. Home cooks recipe gives you specific instructions to do otherwise, always give your pan time to heat up before adding any food. Heat encourages food to release whatever moisture it has. Adding food to a pan that's hot creates an instant seal around the food to keep all the moisture (and flavor) inside. In a warm pan, your food will lose its moisture and you'll find your chicken breast or mushrooms stewing in their own juices. This is not good. A hot pan should give you a sizzle when you add food to it. If you don't hear the sizzle, don't be afraid to pull the food out while you wait for the temperature to rise. Don't over-tend the food. Once you add the food to the pan, put the utensils down and step away. This doesn't mean you should leave the room. You still need to watch the food, but constant flipping, turning, stirring or other motions prevent the food from cooking properly, unless the recipe specifi- cally calls for constant stir- ring. By over-tending, you're actually extending the cooking time, and you run the risk of altering the food's tex- ture and color by moving it around too much. Taste before you serve.
