Critical Success Points

  • • Browning meat and sautéing aromatics for deep flavor in lasagna.
  • • Simmering pasta until just al dente in each recipe to avoid mushiness.
  • • Adding cheeses off heat to prevent stringiness.
  • • Searing steak for stroganoff without overcooking.
  • • Maintaining enough liquid for creamy, not watery, sauces.

Safety Warnings

  • • Use caution when flambéing with brandy: keep pan away from flammable items and turn off extractor fan.
  • • Handle hot pans and boiling liquids carefully to avoid burns.
  • • Grate cheese with care to avoid injury.
