Cooking tips

Some food would need very little preparation and no cooking at all, such is the case of raw foods. However, most of the food we eat is cooked, so it is handy to know how to prepare it.

Discard any food left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

Immediately cool down and then refrigerate or freeze remaining leftovers in shallow containers.
