Kitchen - Cooking Tip of the Month

Onions and Potatoes: golden brown or soft and moist?

This is a great tip from the cookbook, Simply French by Joel Robuchon:

 

Do you want ingredients - such as onions or potatoes - sautèed to a golden brown? Or do you want them soft and moist? Here are tips to remember:

  • For crisp, golden coloring, heat the fat first, then add the ingredients, but do not salt. Salt impedes browning.
  • For soft, moist cooking, heat the fat, ingredients, and salt together.
