“Oh, All This Time I Thought So!” — Discovering the Surprising Truths in the Kitchen
Have you ever had a moment in the kitchen where you thought you knew exactly how to do something, only to discover that everything you thought you knew was wrong? Whether it’s a cooking technique, ingredient pairing, or kitchen gadget, these revelations are often eye-opening—and sometimes downright funny.
It happens to the best of us. You spend years cooking one way, believing it’s the best method, until a small change or new information completely changes the game. Suddenly, you’re left thinking, “Why didn’t I know this sooner?”
Let’s take a look at some common cooking myths and revelations that might make you say, “Oh, all this time I thought so!”
1. Myth: You Should Always Start with Cold Water for Boiling Pasta
The Truth: Many people think it’s best to start with cold water when boiling pasta. After all, it’s common advice you hear in every kitchen. But the real trick is to use boiling water. Starting with hot water gives pasta a jump start, ensuring it cooks faster and more evenly. Plus, if you add salt to the water (which you should for seasoning), it helps the pasta absorb the flavor better!
2. Myth: You Can’t Freeze Lettuce
The Truth: For years, people have believed that lettuce and other leafy greens don’t freeze well because they turn soggy. While it’s true that lettuce won’t hold its crunchy texture once thawed, there are ways to freeze leafy greens—just blanch them before freezing to retain the nutrients. You can still use frozen lettuce in smoothies or cooked dishes like soups, but not for salads.
3. Myth: You Need to Sear Meat on High Heat to Lock in Juices
The Truth: Searing meat on high heat isn’t just for locking in juices—it’s about creating a flavorful crust. While high heat does help caramelize the meat’s exterior, cooking at too high of a temperature can actually cause the inside to become overcooked and dry. The real key to a juicy roast is slow, steady cooking, followed by a sear to finish.
