One major factor in controlling food borne pathogens is cooking at a proper temperature. Microorganisms can cause serious illness. Food poisoning is not fun to go through. Many people will be ill for a few days and recover but for some people, food poisoning can lead to long term health problems, hospitalization and even death. These food microorganisms like bacteria will grow slowly at low temperatures and multiply rapidly in mid-range temperatures. The bacteria is only killed when cooked at high temperatures.

Let's talk about steak- a piece of meat which we get from the plump part of a bull, cow, ox - any animal that gives us beef. Neither too fat, nor too lean- that is what makes the perfect steak! Better yet, there are different types of steak to choose from. The basic difference is that a piece of steak either has a bone or is boneless. Also, to get the best out of any kind of steak, you should season it. By seasoning we mean that before cooking, you should sprinkle some salt and pepper on your meat to enhance its natural flavour.
For the various steaks, the type of cooking also matters. You can either cook them 'blue', 'rare', 'medium-rare', 'medium' or 'well cooked'.
Sirloin Steak: The sirloin comprises of both a tender and a tough part. The soft part comes from the lions, while the hard part comes from a section of the back. Recommended ingredients for seasoning this steak include olive oil, pepper and a pinch of salt.
T-Bone: It is derived from cutting through the short loin and sold along with bone. The T-Bone has two kinds of steak in it: tenderloin and sirloin. The time for medium-rare is around 7 minutes for one side, and 4 minutes for the other.
Bavette: Also known as the flank steak, this steak is derived from the lower chest area or the abdominal muscles. It is long, flat in shape and kind of rough, just like Onglet. The word 'Bavette' is actually French, given by French chefs to this kind of steak. For rare, each side takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
Fillet: This kind of steak is also known as tenderloin. It's boneless and is the most expensive one in the stock. It has a very buttery flavour. For medium rare, each side should be cooked for around 4 minutes.
Rib-Eye: The rib-eye is available in both bone and boneless forms. These are very juicy in taste, as they comprise a lot of fat. It comes from the upper ribcage. Around 4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare.
Rump: The rump steak is better served when both its sides are seasoned well enough with salt. If you want to serve rare rump steak, the cooking time is around 2-3 minutes. An additional minute will make it well cooked. The rump comes from the top half portion of the carcass.
Onglet: The name 'Onglet' is also French and in English, this kind of steak is better known as the 'Hanger' steak. It is juicy, V-shaped and tougher than other forms. 1-2 minutes for blue.
What are dishes if you are not able to feel and taste a particular flavour? Simply put, meaningless. Even if you prefer intensity of a flavour, nonetheless achieving balance is essential for the perfect recipe. So how do you get started?
- Sour
- Bitter
- Spicy
- Salty
- Sweet
- Umami
Adding depths of flavour in any dish is important, and a particular set of ingredients that do this trick are known as 'aromatics'. These comprise of herbs, vegetables, and spices that are added in a dish right in the beginning. Of these ingredients, chilis, garlic, and onions are perhaps the most commonly used.
Spanish cheesecake this year is a real boom. More and more cafes sell San Sebastian Cheesecake, a delicious dessert. And indeed, there are Spanish references to this dessert. The history began with San Sebastian's La Viña restaurant and now it's almost the most "imitated" cake in the world.
The original recipe, of course, is still in the possession of cooks from La Viña, and they have not disclosed the identity to anyone. We recommend you do a cheesecake close at home.

I once had a chemistry teacher when I was in high school who told us, "If you can cook, then you can do chemistry." I remember finding this very strange, since I didn't know how to cook and most of my attempts were met with little in the way of success. I am pretty sure I wasn't alone in that way in the 10th grade.
Quick into adult life, and I can't say I feel that much more comfortable in the kitchen. In fact, I still feel like that kid in chemistry class in many ways. It's amazing to watch the changes taking place as I cook in my pots and pans, but my comprehension of what I'm doing is still pretty sophisticated. As my lab experiments many of my kitchen experiments fail.
Have you been exploring wine cooking? This infographic dives into everything you need to know about the basics of cooking wines for different uses. First, there is no need to worry about differentiating cooking wine's flavor as it is consistent from bottle to bottle, and from brand to brand.

We start our list with one of the most common mistakes made by novices and seasoned chefs alike. Why is cracking eggs on the edge of a bowl a mistake? This practice often leads to shards of egg making their way into your food, without any opportunity to intercept them. Another mistake that most people do when preparing eggs is dropping them straight to boiling water.
When you do so, not only do you risk burning your fingers or cracking the egg, but also you are leaving your eggs prone to turning tough and unpalatable. So how do we approach this without having to watch a pot boil from cold?
The best approach is to heat the water up, then once boiled bring it down to a simmer, before lowering your egg into the water. You can then raise the temperature back to a boil from here. Remember that the cooking process will continue as long as the egg is hot, so be sure to cool the egg under cold water after you have finished cooking and have removed it from the water.
You don't worry, we've covered you, if you are slow to roast some of your favorite meat (or food) and aren't sure about what smoking times or temperatures to cook it. We can tell you all you need to do to get the finest possible degustation nutrition.

It is essential to be careful if you're new to the cigarette before thinking about cigarette smoking. A nice smoker, an external temperature checker, and a meat thermometer for digital checks when you believe the final meat temperature is finished.
