You know the old saying, "timing is everything" and it is when it comes to cooking... just ask any chef.
When it comes to timing, all foods in terms of their origin, ingredients, texture, color, and smell play into timing. If you like crispy veggies, don't boil them to death.
If you want fluffy dumplings, don't add too many eggs or oil. For a creamy sauce, be careful about the order of ingredients and temperature. A really great sauce should be smooth, well balanced...not lumpy.
If you plan to do a
stir fry then you need a hot uncovered skillet or wok. If plan to do a pasta dish with a delicate sauce, then don't use
flour that will weigh it down.
Always keep in mind that if you let food cook too long on a certain temperature it
will change in taste, texture, color and consistency. Treat ingredients with care... every meal cooked deserves respect and to be served
at the right time.
Timing comes with time... you have to spend time cooking to get an understanding of timing as well as your time and effort.
