Cook Better With Rubs And Seasonings

By Frank Anderson


Most people realize they would be more receptive more often if there were not so many steps involved. That and the preparation are normally the most consuming parts of cooking meals for the household. The good news is that it does not have to be this way, as chopped or prepared vegetables can be found at most supermarkets. Many home cooks are also discovering the beauty of using rubs and seasonings to flavor entrees and side dishes.

Although some who are learning their way around the kitchen may not know about organizing, there are many ways to keep these fresh. Those seasonings and spices that fill the air with aroma will keep that same fresh scent when they are stored properly. Even if a person has a small kitchen, there is an inexpensive solution.

There are many inexpensive premixed seasonings and spices on the market but the majority of these contain salt and fillers. For those who are picky about their flavors, going cheap is a waste of time because experienced cooks end up adding more to the recipe. So the best measure is to seek a brand that values quality first.

Once that has been established, having a designated storage area is the next step. While most everyone keeps their spices and condiments in a kitchen cabinet or pantry, small containers tend to get lost. This is especially true if the areas are dark or overshadowed by larger items. If space is cramped, it may be best to store large items that are not used often in a cool part of the refrigerator.

Some home cooks like to place their fresh herbs and spices in clear glass containers. While this is a good idea, it also helps to label each one with the name and date of purchase. If space is tight, the label should be visible. Although some people like to sniff for freshness, sometimes a product is still edible even if the scent is not as strong.

Besides unnecessary chemicals and powders, some value brands contain more salt than anything, which is why these are inexpensive. This is why it helps to read ingredient labels, especially if a person is sensitive to excessive amounts of sodium. If a person is serious about their cooking game, getting quality ingredients will guarantee the best outcome.

Using premixes seasonings can save busy cooks a lot of time. Rubs are growing in popularity with those who eat animal protein. Although some like to use these for grilling meats, most home cooks realize that these work just as well with oven or stovetop cooking.

When a person has a nice selection of spices at their disposal, it gives them the freedom to try out different recipes. Like adding curry powder to meatloaf or using a barbecue seasoning rub to coat a baked salmon. Another benefit to creating fantastic meals at home is that it costs less than dining out.
