Keto Scones

                          Strawberry Keto Scones

Scones are one of the best keto breakfast options because Keto Scones taste just as good as the high carb alternative. The fact that they are a dense pastry makes them well suited to being made with keto friendly flours and ingredients. Throw in some strawberries and a few simple techniques and you will come out with the perfect recipe for a lazy Sunday at home!

What is a Scone?

A scone is a baked good usually made of wheat or another type of grain and flavored with sugar and spices. This was a tasty way to eat wheat and oats, which were staples of European diets in the early 1500’s. Fast forward 500 years and scones have been completely transformed, often using berries, chocolate chips and a variety of other additions to make them a sweet compliment to any breakfast or lunch. The signature quality of a good scone is that it should be dense and satisfying. It is not like other breakfast pastries in that they are fluffy, and soft. This is perfect because baked goods made with almond flour tend to be on the denser side.

Are Scones Keto Friendly?

Scones are definitely not keto friendly. They traditionally use refined flour, refined sugar and a host of other ingredients you’re probably trying to avoid. This recipe uses almond flour and keto friendly sweeteners to turn scones into a perfect breakfast for a low carb diet. This recipe is gluten free, sugar free, and is very easy to make. Coming in at just 5g of net carbs per scone it is a great alternative to your typical 60+ grams of carb scone.

Most recipes can be made keto friendly through substituting flour for low carb keto flours such as almond flour and coconut flour. For the sugar we use a combination of low carb sweeteners to replace the sweetness.

How to Make Low Carb Keto Scones

If you want to make keto scones just follow the steps below. This is one of the easier recipes you’ll see and is great for a newcomer to keto baking that isn’t used to working with almond flour.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

For the best result it is a good idea to separate the wet and dry ingredients before combining them to form the final dough. The dry ingredients in this case are almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol (a low carb sugar alternative), baking powder and salt. Make sure you get rid of any clumps in your dry ingredients by mixing them with a whisk or fork.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

Next we will mix together the melted coconut oil, heavy cream, vanilla extract, stevia and 1 large egg. Be sure that the mixture is not too warm when you add the egg or you run the risk of the egg cooking before it is mixed in. You may notice that the wet ingredients are very small in comparison to the dry ingredients. This is because the dough for keto scones is very firm and loosely held together. It is not a wet batter and is more of the consistency of a pasta dough.

Combine Wet and Dry

Now comes the fun part. Add the wet to the dry and begin mixing together. I like to use a firm spatula for this step. The dough will be very dry and have a sandy consistency. It WILL NOT combine easily and you will need to use some force when you form the scones to get the dough to come together. This is necessary to get that signature scone texture. If you are struggling with this step watch the video for an example of what the texture of the dough should be before you form it into keto scones.

Add in Berries

We’re using strawberries for this recipe but any berry will work great with this recipe. We’ve made this exact recipe with blueberries, and raspberries and they both came out great. You could also add in some nuts, like pecans or walnuts, as well as some low carb keto chocolate chips. Whichever route you decide to go they will come out great. Once you add in your berries lightly mix them into the dough until they are evenly distributed.

Form the Keto Scones

Once you’ve got your completed mixture it is time to form the keto scones. The easiest way to do this is first to form the dough into a tightly packed ball using your hands. The dough should not be every sticky and should be easy to shape with your hands. Once you have a ball place the dough into your cooking vessel. Either a skillet or a baking sheet will do. Flatten your ball of dough into a disk that is about 1 inch thick.

Next you will cut the dough into 8 equal sized triangles and separate them from one another slightly. Separating the keto scones from one another will allow for the entire exterior of each scone to brown and harden.

Bake and Top With Glaze

The keto scones will bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes depending on your oven. The easiest way to know they are done is once the scones become browned slightly on the outside and they are firm to the tough. Despite the baking powder in this keto scones recipe, they do not rise very much. Allow the keto scones to cool on a baking rack for 20 minutes before topping with the homemade glaze.

To make the glaze you will just need two ingredients – erythritol and heavy cream. Erythritol is a sweetener we commonly use in our keto recipes. You can learn more about what your best options are when it comes to keto sweeteners by reading our comprehensive keto sweetener guide. To the erythritol we just add a splash of heavy cream and whisk together. Add more or less heavy cream depending on how thick you want the glaze to be. Reference the recipe video for a visual guide of what to look for.

If you want an even thinner glaze you can use almond milk or coconut milk in place of the cream.

If you decide to skip the glaze you may want to add additional sweetener to the scone recipe. This recipe is designed to include the glaze to achieve the correct level of sweetness so the keto scones themselves may not be sweet enough for your liking without the addition of the glaze.

Making Scones With Almond Flour

When it comes to keto baking you usually have to decide between coconut flour and almond flour for your breads and pastries and making keto scones is no different. With scones the decision is quite easy. We use a 9 to 1 ratio of almond flour to coconut flour in this recipe in order to achieve the traditional texture and crumble of a scone. This is one of those recipe that cannot be made with only coconut flour because the texture will be off. Stick to our almond flour ratio and you’ll come out with a perfectly tasty scone recipe.

Can I Only Use Almond Flour?

Yes you can, but it isn’t recommended. Almond flour scones are good but that little bit of coconut flour is what provides the softness and slight crumble. If you want to go with a fully almond flour scones recipe then you should add about 3/4 cup of additional almond flour and remove the 1/4 cup of coconut flour. Scones made with almond flour are very good but the tiny bit of coconut flour really takes them to the next level.

Can I Make Nut Free Scones?

You probably could make a recipe using only coconut flour but it would be very difficult and would definitely not be the same as this almond flour version. Almond flour is very important to this recipe and should not be omitted. If you do want to avoid nuts in your baked goods you could try some of the other keto breakfast recipes on our site. While this recipe is not nut free it is sugar free and gluten free.

Can I Make Dairy Free Scones?

Yes you can! The dairy in the recipe cones in the form of cream in both the dough and the glaze. To make scones that are dairy free you can simply use water, almond milk, or coconut milk in place of the cream in both instances. One thing to remember is that you will likely need a bit less of your substitute liquid because it will be thinner than cream is.

Tips for Making Low Carb Keto Scones

Here is a few tips to keep in mind to make sure your low carb scones come out as good as ours do.

# Use finely ground almond flour. In just about every low carb recipe you’re better off using flours that are finely ground. With almond flour you will often see “almond meal”, “almond flour”, and “finely ground almond flour”. We always choose the most finely ground version we can.

# Grease your knife before cutting the scones. Using coconut oil to coat the knife prior to cutting the scones will ensure they do not stick to the knife. This makes for an easier cutting process and guarantees your scones will come out nice and pretty.

# Allow the scones to fully cool before adding the glaze. If the scones are still warm when you add the glaze it will become thin and run off of the scones. If you want the scones to hold onto the glaze let them fully cool and a cooling rack for 20-30 minutes prior to adding the glaze.

Storing Strawberry Scones

With most keto low carb recipes storing them can be a bit of a challenge. You can’t just keep these on the counter at room temperature like you can with traditional pastries. Scones made for a low carb diet will require refrigeration in order for them to stay good for up to a week. If you want them to last longer you can stick them in the freezer where they will last for up to a month.

The nice thing about scones is they taste just as good two weeks later as they did on the day you made them. I’ll pull one out of the freezer and microwave it for 60 seconds, or place it in the oven for about 10 minutes and enjoy it with a cup of coffee in the morning!

Advantages of Composting for the Environment

Garden enthusiasts all over the world know that garden compost is an outstanding garden soil conditioner and additive which boosts the productiveness and also workability connected with almost any type of topsoil. Digging in aerobic compost into your existing garden soil, makes it richer and healthier helping plant life develop faster and more powerful which as a negative effects will help our planet in a wide range of simple ways from food production to irrigation.

This is precisely why Aerobic Compost is loved and valued by garden enthusiasts all around the world due to the fact that it has lots of mineral deposits and nutrients which are suitable for promoting the healthy, rich and fast development of plants.

The technique behind aerobic composting depends on the basic idea of return, which deals with the theory of whatever you put in can help determine what it is you go out. Composting backyard garden waste products plus kitchen area leftovers is probably the most helpful and also the most basic step you can take to lessen waste and establish an excellent, sustainable garden.

Using compost within your back garden recycles minerals and vitamins and organic and natural matter which helps to grow trouble-free flowers or veggies by using a lot less water, business fertilizers and even pesticides. Knowing what compost actually is along with how it can help your garden, will result in high quality compost, even for those newbie gardeners, so following is a fast check list outlining the specific seven aspects required to ensure an effective and healthy composting heap.

1. The Correct Types of Products - We're continually being notified that for people to keep in good condition we require a well-balanced diet plan and precisely the same holds true about the compost pile. All the ingredients that you add to your composting pile are its sources of food and energy.

Composting microorganisms survive best on a mixture of succulent delicious nitrogen abundant materials called "greens", such as fresh new lawn clippings, weeds, and also garden flora, along with woody carbon rich components called "browns", like fall leaves, branches, straw or paper.

I would think that you might have all seen before that including just food wastes from the kitchen in your garden compost is a great idea. While this does work, a great mix of browns and greens is important for developing fast results. As a basic rule of thumb, you ought to pack your aerobic composting heap, or composting bin with one part "Green" type materials to around 30 parts of "Brown" type materials.

This ratio is essential since an aerobic stack consisting of great deals of browns will need a very long time to decay, whilst a great deal of greens will result in a smelly algae kind of mess.

Remember, that too produce the very best type of compost, all the materials you add to the compost pile should have these following characteristics. 1), they need to be bio-degradable and 2), they should consist of items that are loved by the micro-organisms. Then this suggests that you really need to avoid the things they do not like such as different meats, bone pieces, fats and cooking oils along with milk associated items just because they do not decay effectively and generally make the compost heap smell bad. Also, consisting of meat associated items to an aerobic compost pile is a lot like providing an open welcome for rats and other such scavenging animals to feed on your compost heap.

2. Product Size - As with a lot of things in this life, size really does matter. Adding large branches, huge leafy materials and even entire food products on your compost pile is only going to slow down its rate of decomposition. All of the composting microbes, bugs and composting worms residing in your garden compost only have little jaws so naturally they like smaller sized portions to chew on. Cutting bigger organic food products in to smaller sized bits, by using a saw, garden shredder or your mower will help break down the bigger items into smaller bite-sized pieces.

Nearly all bacteria's and micro-organisms normally have a bumpy ride discovering their favourite foods contained within large woody type brown products due to their tough outsides so shredding the materials you add helps them on their way. Since the compostable materials are made much smaller sized, a lot more surface area and inner area will be exposed to the microbes which perform the job of decomposition.

If these products are separated and lowered in advance, it can help speed up the decomposition procedure because the smaller sized the pieces, the faster they can disintegrate. Nevertheless there is also a down side in shredding woody materials to carefully.

These smaller sized particles will likely produce a more compacted aerobic compost pile minimising ventilation and air circulation inside the heap which could in turn result in an anaerobic condition because of the inadequate oxygen and so the load may have to be dished out more often.

3. The Compost Lots Size - How big your composting stack is also makes a substantial distinction not simply to the speed of decomposition but for the final quality of the finished stack. Generally, a compost pile needs to be at most comparable to about one cubic metre (3 x 3 x 3 feet) in volume as this makes it simpler to manage. Smaller sized aerobic piles have a tendency to dry easily therefore require regular watering, although commercially readily available composting bins which have strong sides plus a cover can help keep smaller sized piles damp. Larger aerobic composting piles inhabit a lot extra space and will need to be handed over to allow more air into their center.

In addition, forking over an aerobic compost pile regularly to move recently added external products towards the stacks center, or even to a different area or composting bin is much easier and much less effort when the real size of the compost pile is a lot more workable.

4. Water Content - Another crucial component with regards to fast aerobic composting is the proper amount of water. Microorganisms reside in thin watery movies which surround the aspects within the compost pile so it helps to keep the compost pile damp at all times. If your pile ends up being dried, the bacterial microbes are not able to work successfully so consist of some extra greens. Should the stack become too wet, the bacterial microbes are unable to receive the amount of oxygen they wish to breath so consist of some additional browns and shell out the stack to mix it in.

It is easy to discover if your compost pile includes the right volume of water (40-60%), merely take hold of a small handful from the compostable material and then squeeze it. If water leaks out through your fingers, then the stack has become too wet. Preferably the compost requires to be a little moist, just like a moist fabric or sponge to be able to ensure bacterial decomposition and growth.

5. Aeration - the composting of materials is certainly an aerobic procedure. In order to help create top-notch compost quickly, plenty of fresh tidy air is vital to let the microorganisms and bugs living and flourishing inside it breathe. Dishing out your garden compost using a spade or pitchfork when or perhaps twice a week helps aerate the pile in addition to putting the newly added fresher external materials into its middle and vice-versa.

The approach of forking or turning and consisting of dry or coarse materials to the compost heap will help increase aeration, avoid odour-causing bacteria's from developing and also help to speed up the aerobic composting procedure. This action of forking over garden compost regularly in order to help speed up the piles decomposition procedure is referred to as "active composting". Just turning and forking the stack allows surplus water to escape and evaporate providing fresh clean air to the pile at the same time.

6. Micro-organisms and Bugs - No aerobic composting stack worth its salt would not be total without the existence of the microorganisms and bugs which do all the work. It is these small little air-breathing micro-organisms and their larger soil caring cousins which are found naturally within the soil structure that will thrive within the damp and nutrient-rich environments which you have developed.

The smaller sized decomposters for example fungis and germs start the decay process whilst bigger sized bugs such as worms, beetles, millipedes and centipedes, complete the decomposition cycle. What's left behind is a practically black humus soil enhancing medium.

To be able to effectively develop and increase, all these macro and micro-organisms need an energy source like for instance the "browns", which provides them with a carb source and the "greens", which gives them a protein abundant source. In addition to these they also require oxygen and water to endure.

However just like human beings, these bugs also love it warm and cosy, which means your compostable active ingredients will definitely be developed into a finished garden compost much more rapidly during the summer months when the sun's rays help warm things up compared to the cooler cold weather.

7. Don't Rush, Be Patient - Aerobic composting requires time. The speed or rate of composting trusts lots of aspects as we have seen, such as the moisture material, level of aeration, along with the carbon-to-nitrogen percentage, the real greens-to-browns ratio. Typically, aeration and humidity are normally the two essential factors influencing the amount of time required to produce your ended up garden compost.

But you can help Nature on her way by regular forking and turning of your compost pile which will probably produce quality compost in about a couple of months in the summer whilst monthly turnings might produce compost from about four to 6 months in time. The speediest composting takes place when you have already pre-mixed the browns and greens materials, including some previous microbe rich garden compost and turning or blending the pile weekly, along with controlling the quantity of air and water. But if all that is just excessive work, then relax, relax and let the bugs do the work.

Aerobic compost is an excellent garden soil additive which enhances the workability and efficiency of your garden soil. The correct quantity and sort of materials you add into the compost pile really makes a substantial difference on the level of quality and the composting period.

You must think of your aerobic compost heap as being like a self included eco-system, and in order for it to establish and survive, this specific eco-system needs the proper mixture of ingredients and materials such as "Oxygen" (the air), "Warmth" (the sun), "Food" (the compostable products), and "Moisture" (the water), with the resulting quality and amount of the completed garden compost being figured out by just how well you are able to handle and control all of these 4 variables.

The strategy behind aerobic composting depends on the basic idea of return, which works on the theory of whatever you put in can help identify what it is you get out. Composting yard garden waste products plus cooking area leftovers is most likely the most useful and also the most basic step you can take to minimize waste and establish a good, sustainable garden.

Composting microbes endure best on a mix of succulent tasty nitrogen plentiful materials referred to as "greens", such as fresh new lawn clippings, weeds, and also garden flora, in addition to woody carbon rich components called "browns", like fall leaves, branches, straw or paper.

I would believe that you might have all noticed before that including simply food wastes from the cooking area in your garden compost is a great idea. While this does work, a good mix of browns and greens is vital for developing fast results. As a general guideline, you must fill your aerobic composting stack, or composting bin with one part "Green" type materials to around 30 parts of "Brown" type materials.

This ratio is important because an aerobic pile containing great deals of browns will require a long time to decay, whilst a lot of greens will lead to a smelly algae sort of mess.

Bear in mind, that too produce the very best type of compost, all the materials you contribute to the compost heap need to have these following attributes. 1), they must be bio-degradable and 2), they need to consist of products that are loved by the micro-organisms. Then this recommends that you really need to steer clear of the important things they do not like such as various meats, bone pieces, fats and cooking oils as well as milk related items just because they do not disintegrate effectively and usually make the compost pile smell bad. Also, including meat associated items to an aerobic compost heap is a lot like giving an open welcome for rats and other such scavenging animals to feed upon your compost pile.

2. Material Size - Just like a great deal of things in this life, size really does matter. Including large branches, huge leafy materials or perhaps whole food items on your compost heap is only going to decrease its rate of decay. All of the composting microorganisms, bugs and composting worms residing in your compost only have small jaws so naturally they like smaller sized portions to chew on. Cutting larger organic food items in to smaller sized bits, by using a saw, garden shredder or your mower will help break down the larger products into smaller bite-sized chunks.

Nearly all bacteria's and micro-organisms normally have a difficult time discovering their preferred foods consisted of within big woody type brown materials due to their hard exteriors so shredding the products you include helps them on their way.

If these materials are separated and minimized ahead of time, it can help accelerate the decomposition procedure since the smaller the pieces, the quicker they can break down. Nevertheless there is also a down side in shredding woody materials to finely.

These smaller sized particles will likely produce a more compacted aerobic compost pile minimising ventilation and air flow inside the stack which might in turn result in an anaerobic condition because of the insufficient oxygen and so the heap might need to be dished out more often.

3. The Garden Compost Tons Size - How big your composting load is also makes a substantial difference not simply to the speed of decay but for the final quality of the completed pile. Normally, a compost pile requires to be at most equivalent to about one cubic metre (3 x 3 x 3 feet) in volume as this makes it easier to manage. Smaller sized aerobic piles tend to dry out quickly for that reason require regular watering, although commercially available composting bins which have strong sides plus a cover can help keep smaller sized piles damp. Bigger aerobic composting piles inhabit a lot extra area and will need to be shelled out to allow more air into their center.

Additionally, handing over an aerobic compost heap regularly to move recently added external products towards the piles center, or even to a different place or composting bin is much easier and much less effort when the real size of the compost heap is much more workable.

4. Water Material - One other essential part with regards to fast aerobic composting is the right quantity of water. Microorganisms reside in thin watery movies which surround the components within the compost heap so it helps to keep the compost heap damp at all times. If your stack becomes dried, the bacterial microbes are unable to work effectively so include some additional greens. Should the pile end up being too wet, the bacterial microbes are unable to receive the quantity of oxygen they wish to breath so include some extra browns and shell out the stack to mix it in.

If water seeps out through your fingers, then the pile has actually become too damp. Ideally the garden compost requires to be a little wet, much like a moist cloth or sponge to be able to ensure bacterial decay and growth.

5. Aeration - the composting of products is certainly an aerobic process. In order to help produce top quality garden compost easily, lots of fresh clean air is vital to let the microbes and bugs living and prospering inside it breathe. Shelling out your compost using a spade or pitchfork as soon as or perhaps two times a week helps aerate the stack as well as putting the newly added fresher external materials into its middle and vice-versa.

The technique of forking or turning and consisting of dry or coarse materials to the compost pile will help increase aeration, avoid odour-causing bacteria's from developing and also help to accelerate the aerobic composting process.

But you can help Mother Nature on her way by regular forking and turning of your compost pile which will most likely produce quality garden compost in about a couple of months in the summer whilst monthly turnings could develop garden compost from about four to six months in time. The quickest composting occurs when you have currently pre-mixed the browns and greens products, including some previous microbe abundant garden compost and turning or blending the stack weekly, as well as controlling the quantity of air and water. But if all that is just excessive work, then sit back, relax and let the bugs do the work.

Aerobic compost is a superb garden soil additive which improves the workability and effectiveness of your garden soil. The correct amount and type of materials you add into the compost heap really makes a big distinction on the level of quality and the composting period.

You need to think of your aerobic compost heap as being like a self contained eco-system, and in order for it to develop and endure, this particular eco-system requires the correct mixture of active ingredients and products such as "Oxygen" (the air), "Heat" (the sun), "Food" (the compostable products), and "Moisture" (the water), with the resulting quality and quantity of the completed garden compost being determined by simply how well you are able to manage and control all of these 4 variables.

HOW IS YOUR FRIED CHICKEN?

Greetings from the SKY’S kitchen! 

Today I am going to talk about something we don’t serve at Sky’s at all. Fried Chicken. Now, it’s not like I dislike fried chicken, in fact I love it. Most people think that it’s difficult and almost impossible to make. Well, they may be right. Everyone’s Mother or Grandmother has their own recipe and technique. I have to admit that many of those concoctions are excellent - but then there are some that are terrible. And worse yet, many of even the best batches don’t come out the same every time - so inconsistency is always a concern. I don’t serve it at Sky’s (YET!) because I respect this traditional food and if I can’t serve it exactly right every time - well, I just won’t do it! But for those of you that are still willing to take up the challenge, here are a few important tips you should know about. This is all part of our long process at Sky’s of developing new Menu items. We’re not there yet, but here’s what we’ve learned so far!

First, like all great cooking, it all starts with the ingredients. Chicken is Chicken, right? NO! Not all Chickens are created equally. A great chicken for roasting is not so good for frying, just like a Filet Mignion does not make a good pot roast! So, you need a fryer chicken. In Chicago, where I grew up, we used to call them Boston Fryers. Any decent butcher will know what they are - but if you are like me, and you’re stuck with what you can find at your local Costco or Vons, you’re looking for a “Young Hen” or a Pullet. Some places call it a “Young Fryer”. It’s not the same as a Boston Fryer, but it’s about the best you’re going to find in those places. The first thing you will notice is that they are smaller, usually no more than 2-3 lbs. If you’re lucky enough to have a Latin market in your neighborhood, take a look sometime at what they have - they often have fryers also - and they are the best for this. If you see a deep Yellow skin, that’s actually a good thing - it means that they were most probably free-range and eating corn primarily which, again is good for frying. Once you have your Chicken, or two, you need to take care in disassembling it. Never buy Chicken “Parts"for frying, like that ‘picnic pack’ - they are cut the wrong way. With a whole chicken you can prepare the cuts properly and it makes a huge difference, trust me. So, take your chicken and start cutting. First, cut the bird in half, length-ways. When you do this, be sure to cut the bird evenly. You want two halves that look as close to identical as possible. Especially with the Brest, its cartilage and the breast bone itself will protect the Chicken from drying out when you fry it. The Dark meat is less of a concern, but you should separate each section at the joints. You should end up with two wings, two thighs, two legs and two breasts. Then cut the breasts in equal halves, across. 10 pieces in all. Keep the skin ON as best you can.

The next step is the seasoning or marinade. I’m not going to get into the fight over dry vs. wet seasoning here. I have a life, and do not need to be responding to endless arguments - suffice to say, do what you like - but I do hope you will experiment and message us to tell us your favorite method. No matter if it’s Butter Milk overnight, Brine, or a Dry rub of salt, pepper and Paprika - you know the drill. But regardless of what you use - GIVE IT TIME! Overnight is great, less time is deadly - if you brine you already know that you’re looking at anything from 24-48 hours (Yes, you can keep it raw that long with Brine!)

Once you have your prepared parts, it’s time for cooking. First, always bring your chicken to room temperature before you deep fry. There are all sorts of ideas that cooling (even using frozen) chicken can force a crispier crust while the interior chill will keep the chicken moist and less cooked, i.e. less dry. WRONG! All frozen chicken will do for you is cause a major explosion of the hot oil and probably burn down your house - it isn’t worth it. I have used this technique of pre-cooling on Porter House Steaks before pan frying, but even that isn’t really necessary if the pan is hot enough, and frankly, nothing frozen should be put into hot oil, ever. At least not at home, and without decent insurance. This information comes from a dear friend who likes to deep-fry his frozen turkey! He used to have a really nice house….!

Now the really important part. Oil. Again, I’m not going to have a fight with y'all about it - but quite simply, it’s peanut oil for me. You can add one part of canola to three parts peanut if you want a lighter flavor, but I personally love the nutty taste that compliments my personal favorite marinade of Butter Milk. Now you already know about 'smoke points’ of oil so I won’t go into here - but basically, every oil can handle a certain level of heat. Some do very badly, like butter, or even unrefined olive oil (virgin). Others do very well at higher heat like corn oil or even walnut oil, but the king for Chicken is Peanut Oil. So do you self a favor and send a little love out to Jimmy Carter and use it. Now there are several "Fried Chicken” establishments out there that think they have the best Fried Chicken. And maybe they do, but none of them can claim that if they don’t heat their oil to at least 350 degrees. It’s not an opinion, it’s science. Frying food is a brief but crucial competition between the PRESSURE of the steam inside the food and the pressure of the surrounding oil trying to get into the food. Anything short of 350 degrees means the oil will win. The Chicken may seem juicy but what you’re actually tasting is oil, not the natural juices of the Chicken. YUK! The bubbles you see when you fry, is the water in the food being transformed into its base elements coming OUT of the food - that is the only direction you want that force to go. The other benefit is that the buoyancy is changed in the chicken as it fries, making it lighter. When it floats, it’s done. Take it out immediately and blot on a kitchen towel, or if you’re reading from Beverly Hills, on 'paper towel’.

Some people like fried chicken with something sweet, like waffles and syrup. Me, I like it cold for a picnic. Remember to pack even cold chicken in a paper bag for the next day - it will keep the crust crispier than in a Tupperware container or plastic bag.

I will have Fried Chicken at Sky’s one day, but it will have to right before I serve it - hopefully these tips will help you pluck up the courage to try it and then give me a few pointers too! 

Remember to disinfect EVERYTHING when working with raw chicken. Honestly, unless your chicken had a name and lived in your yard - disinfect.

Happy cooking!

You’ve Been Making Banana Bread Wrong This Whole Time

You’ve Been Making Banana Bread Wrong This Whole Time

Banana bread is the epitome of comfort food. To be sure it comes out perfectly, there are a few tips that novices and experts alike need to keep in mind. Here are the mistakes you might be making, and how to avoid them the next time you attempt the perfect loaf. "Jake Jake Jake!" "What, is he coming?" "No, but there's more than muffins! There's banana bread too!" First thing's first, banana bread, of course, requires bananas. After all, that's what gives your loaf its flavor and its lovely texture. But can you just grab any bananas from your kitchen counter fruit bowl and get to baking? Or even just grab a few at the store for your baking project? Absolutely not. Banana bread requires super ripe bananas. We're talking ripe enough that they're starting to get brown spots on the peel. You want no green on the peel, but you also don't want your bananas ripe enough that they're rotten. As a banana ripens, the starch in the fruit turns to sugar. Ultimately, they become sweeter the riper they are, which is why those with brown spots are utilized to add great flavor to baked goods. Part of making banana bread is all about incorporating the sweet, ripe banana's flavor throughout. In order to achieve that, it's important to introduce the bananas in a way that can be easily incorporated, rather than having to break them down in the mixer with the rest of your ingredients. If you want to have banana bread with completely smooth bananas throughout, and no chunks, mashing them in a separate bowl before introducing them to the mixture is the best way to go. Using the back of a fork will do the trick wonderfully, or you can opt to use a potato masher. Baking truly is an art form, but there is quite a bit of science to it as well, and if certain ingredients aren't introduced in the right order, they work differently with the other ingredients. Much like baking a cake, baking banana bread requires a specific order of operations. Adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients allows for better introduction and incorporation. According to Cook's Illustrated, that order is actually crucial. If you were to instead add the wet ingredients to the dry bowl, you end up with pockets of flour rather than a smooth distribution. Plus, it's easier to fully mix things together without over-mixing, which can definitely hamper your banana bread's texture. As simple as the ingredients are for banana bread, and as achievable as the method seems, banana bread can be a bit finicky. Whether you opt to make your banana bread in a stand mixer, or you're simply using a bowl and a spoon, the key to a beautiful, fluffy, moist loaf is not to overmix the batter. According to Southern Living, the reasoning for not over-mixing is all about the gluten. As you mix, the gluten begins to develop. When too much gluten develops before baking, you can end up with a dense, chewy loaf, rather than the soft and delicious banana bread you were hoping for. When it's time to add the dry ingredients to the wet, gently fold them in “You fold them in.” “I, I understand that. How… how do you fold it? Fold it in half like a piece of paper and drop it in? What do you do?” — maybe even using a spoon and not a mixer — just until everything is fully incorporated. Whether you're using a metal or a glass loaf pan, greasing your pan with oil or butter will help your banana bread come out smoothly. Either using canned oil spray or simply rubbing butter or shortening along the insides of the pan will create a layer of oil that makes for easy release. Sprinkling the pan with flour after buttering will really make sure nothing sticks while baking. Opting for parchment paper is another possibility as well. According to Bon Appetit, that's the way to go, allowing for a smooth release by just lifting up the paper. Whichever way you choose is up to you, but definitely be sure to choose one. Digging your banana bread out of the loaf pan with a fork really isn't the best way to eat it. Most banana bread recipes call for it to be baked at 350 degrees for 50 to 70 minutes. And while that may seem like a huge range, there's a reason for it. According to The Kitchn, your bake time will depend on your bananas' sugar content and how moist they are. Often, if you make banana bread and cut into it only to find a gooey, underbaked center, that's the reason. It's thanks to those bananas not having enough time. It's best to begin checking your banana bread sooner rather than later, but don't pull it out of the oven until you've checked that it's fully baked. The top and sides will be a caramel, dark brown, with a yellow bread color in the center, but check it using the classic toothpick method to be sure it's done. If it's clean, or there are only a few crumbs, it's ready to pull out. You've selected the perfect ripe bananas, mixed your batter, and baked your bread. It's time to eat it once you pull it out of the oven, right? After all, what's better than warm, freshly baked banana bread? "I made her banana bread." “'Why?" "Because I love her." Well, not so fast. As with many of the steps of baking banana bread, there's a science to it. Because you pair sugar with banana in your batter, the bananas tend to caramelize while baking. This also creates a bit of a gooeyness to the bread if you were to slice it right when it came out of the oven. It's best to let your loaf sit in the pan to finish baking for a few minutes on top of the oven, solidifying the banana mash. According to Livestrong, letting your bread sit for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan is best. From there, you can invert your loaf pan onto a plate or tray, use a spatula to get the loaf out if needed, and then let it rest a bit longer. It's best to eat banana bread when it's completely cooled, so you get a nice, clean slice. Check out one of our newest videos right here!

I've come a long, long way since I started first making use of a stovetop back in 2011 ("oh, you need to use OIL to stir-fry things??  you don't just dump it all in the pan and..."), and a lot of that has come from accumulated knowledge gleaned over the years.  A lot of this knowledge comes from great resources such as Kenji Lopez-Alt's more scientifically-minded columns and various "mythbuster"-type articles (and trust me there are WAY more myths than truths about cooking floating around out there), and other portions of it come from more practical home kitchen experience.

I personally very much rely on a blend of science and experience to inform my cooking.  I need to understand the theory behind why something works in order to apply it to more than just a single recipe, but at the same time a lot of cooking resources are tailored to amazing thumbnails and ASMR-tingling videos where noodles are hand-pulled, beef is pushed through your own meat grinder, and everything is perfectly plated with little bits of hand-chopped freshly-picked herbs as garnishes and girl, I love attention to detail but sometimes we just ain't got the TIME for that, you know what I mean?  So the home kitchen is where a lot more of the "practical"-minded advice comes from, things like "reuse the same pan for these 3 steps so you have to wash less" or "while this is sauteing is a great time to peel and cut the next veggies so you can multitask".

That's already a pretty lengthy intro, so let's just get on with it, shall we?

1) Wash mushrooms with water, saute them separately

Contrary to what you might have heard, mushrooms don't "absorb a ton of water" when you rinse them under water.  They absorb about 2% of their weight at most, which really isn't a big deal, so go ahead and use water to clean your mushrooms since it's just easier (but make sure you give them a good scrub and rub at the same time to get out the little dirt chunks).  However, mushrooms are made up of a lot of water in the first place (92%!) and end up releasing a lot more water than say, onions or carrots.

This is important because all that water needs to evaporate out before any yummy tasty Maillard reaction browning can occur.  So if you're doing a simple saute of mushrooms, onions, and carrots all together, the amount of moisture in the mushrooms will end up dominating the saute and you'll end up with wimpy steamed veggies.  Instead, cook the mushrooms through first (really give them time to develop a nice brown color), remove from your skillet, throw in the other veggies, and add the mushrooms back at the end.  This will result in awesome caramelized veggies.

Is this more effort?  Yes, it is, and I admit sometimes when I'm EXTRA lazy I just go for my wimpy steamed veggies.  But mushrooms are the one case where 95% of the time I take the effort because they really do release a lot of water during the cooking process.  Of course this also applies to other "watery" veggies such as lettuce, celery, cucumbers, etc. which I will often cook together with the mushrooms to get all the watery veggies out of the way first.

2) Reuse plates or bowls for both temporary storage and final plating

One of those more practical home kitchen tips, and should be an extremely "duh" one for many people already, but I thought I'd still include it since it's so practical and beginner cooks (i.e. me in 2011) might not have a handle on efficient kitchen management.

So let's say you've got your mushrooms all nicely sliced or diced or whatever, but now you've got no more room on your chopping board for onions so you...pull out a bowl to temporarily put all those sliced raw mushrooms into.

Fast-forward a short while (or maybe you were smart and sauted the mushrooms while slicing your onions), you've got your mushrooms all nicely sauted and need to remove them from the skillet to start cooking your onions so you...pull out a plate to dump the mushrooms on.

You can see where I'm going with this.  With a simple saute it's not too bad but at the end of a fancy recipe you end up with fifteen million little bowls and plates that you need to clean. (one for minced garlic, one for minced scallions, one for minced ginger, one for raw mushrooms, another for carrots, ...)  I get it, mise en place is great and sometimes when you are doing a furious chinese-style stir fry over a jet burner, you NEED to have all of those ingredients prepared in separate bowls for the sake of speed.  But if you aren't doing some crazy high heat stir-fry, for the love of god reuse your bowls and plates throughout the cooking process.

That plate that you used to hold your raw mushrooms?  Reuse it for the cooked mushrooms -- no reason not to!  And after you toss your mushrooms back into the skillet with everything else, just give it a quick rinse and it's ready to be used as your final plate!  I strive to make most of my recipes use ZERO extra plates and bowls if at all possible for maximum efficiency, and yes, sometimes that means I can't chop all of my ingredients ahead of time -- chop them as you go, and multitask!

3) For better browning (i.e. better flavor), dry your meats, fish, and everything else before searing

Remember what I said about water needing to evaporate before mushrooms can undergo any awesome browning reactions?  Well, same thing applies to meat, fish fillets, and everything else you're trying to sear or pan fry or saute.  If you thoroughly pat dry your steaks, salmon fillets, and everything else before you cook them it will really help you get that nice tasty outer caramelization that we all love.

A lot of people (myself included) might intuitively think that the more "wet" meat or veggies are, the juicier they will be once they're done cooking.  Unfortunately things don't actually work that way at all.  A steak is not a sponge -- you can't "add moisture to it" by submerging it in water.  There's a reason we grill and pan-sear steaks and fish fillets instead of eating "boiled steak" all the time!  So make sure the exterior of your piece of protein is completely dry before going to cook it. (don't worry, the interior will still be juicy!)

Along the same lines, you might be tempted to put a cover on your skillet in order to "help keep the moisture in".  This results in "steamed steak" which again is not nearly as appetizing.  Putting a lid over your skillet or pot is great for braised/saucy dishes (or actual steamed veggies), but for searing and sauteing you need all that water to evaporate so you can start to develop delicious browning flavor.  And of course, if you're ever worried about things getting too dry in the pan, don't add water -- instead, add more oil.  Or if you're feeling unhealthy, bacon fat.  Delicious bacon fat....

4) Keep frozen bacon in the freezer

Speaking of bacon fat, is there a dish it won't make better?  Apologies to any vegetarian or pescetarian readers, but adding some chopped up bacon pieces can add some extra deliciousness to pretty much anything.  Roasted brussel sprouts turn from boring to unhealthily delicious.  Kale suddenly becomes something you're actually excited to eat (actually, I like kale on its own, but many don't!)  And who doesn't like some extra bacon bits with their potatoes, tater tots, or even cauliflower soup?  Pretty much any time you're roasting or sauteing anything you can just add some extra bacon in there and get some extra delicious flavor.

Of course I don't go super ham (ha ha ha...) with the bacon with every meal I ever eat, so it takes me a while to get through a package of bacon.  There's two solutions to this -- option A, buy your bacon in individual strips from your butcher.  Option B is buy bacon in bulk but keep in the freezer so it lasts forever.  As an added bonus, frozen bacon is way easier to work with on the chopping board because it's not all greasy and slippery!  Frozen bacon is a breeze to work with and cooks great too.

5) Cook fish fillets with the broiler because it's freakin delicious

How many of you have never even understood the "broil" function on your oven?  If you've been baking your fish fillets your whole life, you really ought to try broiling them instead.  Baked fish is "okay", but the end result is always going to lack the extra flavor of broiled fish because baking simply doesn't give you the intense heat required for any delicious surface browning (and yes, browning really is THAT important).  Broiling is essentially "upside-down grilling" -- it cooks via intense radiant heat that happens to be perfect for fish fillets.  (Yes, you can also pan-fry fish fillets and that can be wonderful too, but takes a bit more skill to really get right)

You might have to get a feel for it the first few times as every broiler reaches a different temperature and the distance to the heating element can be important.  For fish, it's important to do most (not all, but most) of your cooking with the skin side up for broiling since the skin will act as a nice insulator, protecting the rest of the fish from getting overcooked.  Oh, and if you do that, you get a nice, crispy, delicious fish skin that is totally unlike the floppy slimy fish skins you'd get with baked or steamed fish.  Since fish overcooks quite quickly, I'd recommend testing for your ideal doneness very often until you get a good feel for it.  You can test for doneness by trying to flake the fillet with a fork and/or checking the color of the inner part of the fillet.  I prefer my fillets "medium" but you may even prefer "medium rare" with some translucent flesh in the middle (which is perfectly safe to eat).  But for the love of god please do not overcook your fish fillets and turn them into dry cardboard lumps like 90% of all restaurants do.

Got a toaster oven?  Even easier -- just pop your fish fillet in there and use the broil setting and you've got a quick and easy route to delicious fish, without having to wait around for your entire oven to heat up to temperature.  Hooray!

Broiling is also great, by the way, for other proteins, such as lamb chops, or anything else you'd think about grilling (but don't want to go through all the effort to set up the grill for).

Turkey Safety

Did you volunteer or were you voluntold that this is the year YOU are responsible for the Thanksgiving turkey?  Yes you!  You might be a pro or possibly shaking in your fuzzy house slippers at the thought of being responsible for the most important part of the family meal.  Either way, MakeFoodSafe.com is here to help you make your holiday meal safely.  We are happy to share tips to safely thaw, stuff, cook, and store your beautiful bird. Turkey Safety at its finest!

Poultry and Salmonella

Poultry and Salmonella go way back.  Way back to the farm, that is.  The bird you get, whether from the grocery store or a local farmer is pretty much crawling with this nasty bug.  There really isn’t any way around it.  Taking common sense steps will help minimize the risk for harmful bacteria to make it into the final dish.

Thaw the Turkey Safely

You have a couple options for safely thawing your bird.  Either way you will want to plan in advance what approach you want to take so you can time it appropriately.  Don’t be tempted to pop a half-frozen turkey in the oven.

Refrigerator Method – If you plan to thaw your turkey in the refrigerator, make some room and book his stay in advance.  Tom the Turkey is going to be hanging out for a while.  You must allow about 24 hours for each 4 to 5 pounds of meat for the bird to thaw in a refrigerator set to the appropriate temperature of 40 ºF or below.  This means a 4 to 12 pound turkey will take between 1 to 3 days; a 12 to 16 pound turkey will take between 3 to 4 days; and so on.  Place the turkey in a container during its stay to prevent any juices from contaminating other foods in the refrigerator.  Always keep raw food separate from ready-to-eat foods in the refrigerator.  Once thawed, the turkey can chill for another day or 2 days max before cooking.

Sink Method – If you plan to thaw your turkey in the sink with the cold water thawing method, you will need to set aside about 30 minutes per pound to ensure proper thawing. The first step is to secure the turkey in a leak-proof plastic bag to keep germs in the bag and out of the sink as well as water off of the turkey, which might bloat it.  Once turkey is secured, submerge the bird in cold tap water.  Change the water every 30 minutes until the turkey is thawed.  This is a bit of a commitment.  I recommend a timer.  A turkey thawed in the sink with cold water must be cooked immediately after it is thawed.  Plan your day accordingly.

Microwave Method – If you plan to thaw your turkey using the microwave method, I am going to have to defer to your microwave oven’s manufacturer instructions as each unit varies. Plan to cook your bird as soon as you pull it out of the microwave, as some areas might be warm and begin cooking during the thawing process.  It is dangerous to hold partially cooked food because bacteria present would not have been appropriately destroyed.

 Stuffing or Dressing Your Turkey Safely

Whether your family stuffs or dresses, this wonderful side dish completes the holiday meal.  What’s the difference?  Well that really depends on where you are from.  Where I come from, stuffing means the wonderful cornbread mixture is placed inside the cavity of the bird.  But then you are limited to how much you can stuff inside the turkey.  We like that dish too much to limit ourselves to the capacity of the bird.  We prefer dressing, which is essentially all of the same ingredients, but cooked in a casserole dish instead.  In my family, this is a BIG casserole dish.

If you plan to stuff, do so just before cooking.  Just as you would with meat, stuffing requires verifying internal temperature.  Bacteria can survive in stuffing that has doesn’t reach an internal temperature of 165 ⁰F.  Use a food thermometer inserted to the center of the stuffing to be sure internal temperature is 165 ⁰F. Wait for 20 minutes after removing the bird from the oven before removing the stuffing from the turkey’s cavity.

If you opt for the dressing style casserole, follow appropriate safety measures that you would for a casserole.  Cook to an internal temperature of 165 ⁰F and refrigerate after 2 hours.  There are a few extra safety measures to consider if you opt for the traditional “stuffing” style.

You do not want to prepare stuffing ahead of time.  Combining the wet and dry ingredients together creates a breeding ground for potentially harmful bacteria.  If you want to make your turkey day go a little quicker, you can measure out wet ingredients in one container and dry ingredients in another and store them chilled until you need them.  Wet and dry ingredients should be combined just before spooning the stuffing into the poultry cavity.  Prepared stuffing must be cooked immediately or immediately frozen.  If frozen, do not thaw stuffing before cooking.  Cook frozen stuffing until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 ⁰F.

A general ratio is about ¾ cup of stuffing per pound of meat.  Stuffing should be moist, not dry.  While this is may be for texture, it also helps the heat destroy the bacteria more rapidly.  Stuffed meat or poultry should be placed immediately in an oven set to a temperature no lower than 325 ⁰F.

What about fried turkey?  Unfortunately, deep-fat fried whole poultry fries very rapidly.  This does not produce sufficient heat to the center of the stuffing to completely destroy any potentially harmful bacteria.  Opt for the dressing casserole style side instead.

Cooking Your Turkey Safely

Begin with a preheated oven set to at least 325 ⁰F.  You will need a roasting pan that is at least 2 to 2 ½ inches deep.  Place the completely thawed turkey in the roasting pan, breast side up.  Tuck wing tips back under shoulders of the bird.  Add a half cup of water to the bottom of the pan.  In the first hour to hour and a half, bake with a tent of aluminum foil loosely over the breast.  Alternatively, the tent can be added once the outside of the turkey has reached the desired golden-brown color.  Cooking times will depend on the weight of your turkey and whether you have a stuffed or unstuffed bird.  Refer to the following tables for approximate cooking times.  Always check the internal temperature of the meat in the thickest portions of the breast, thigh, and wing joint to ensure meat is fully cooked.  If stuffed, allow turkey to stand for 20 minutes before removing stuffing.

Unstuffed

4 to 6 lb breast1 ½ to 2 ¼ hours6 to 8 lb breast2 ¼ to 3 ¼ hours8 to 12 lbs2 ¾ to 3 hours12 to 14 lbs3 to 3 ¾ hours14 to 18 lbs3 ¾ to 4 ¼ hours18 to 20 lbs4 ¼ to 4 ½ hours20 to 24 lbs4 ½ to 5 hours

Stuffed

8 to 12 lbs3 to 3 ½ hours12 to 14 lbs3 ½ to 4 hours14 to 18 lbs4 to 4 ¼ hours18 to 20 lbs4 ¼ to 4 ¾ hours20 to 24 lbs4 ¾ to 5 ¼ hours

Store Your Turkey Safely

Clostridium perfringens outbreaks occur most often in the months of November and December.  There is no surprise that holiday meals play a role in that phenomenon.  This bacterium, and many others grow in foods that are left at room temperature.  Leftovers should be packed up and refrigerated within 2 hours and stored in a refrigerator that is 40 ⁰F or colder.

You might be tempted to meet this 2-hour window by putting the whole turkey in the refrigerator.  If your turkey is stuffed, you are going to have to put in just a little more effort.  It takes too long for the stuffing to reach a safe temperature of 40 ⁰F inside the turkey.  You will need to remove the stuffing and place in another container for storage in the refrigerator.

Happy Holidays and Thanksgiving!

Happy Holidays and Thanksgiving from my family to yours.  Everyone at MakeFoodSafe.com wishes you all a happy and food safe holiday season.  Keep checking back for more food safety tips to get you through the holidays.

When I’m just throwing together a quick breakfast or dinner for myself, all my training goes right out the window. I’ll break down a chicken with a utility knife just because it’s the first thing I pick up, or peel carrots directly on the cutting board instead of into a trash receptacle. My current weird off-hours habit: Stirring big pots of stew and mixing bowls full of thick chocolate pudding with the world’s smallest spatula. Why? I don’t know, I just really love my tiny spatula.

Most days, when I’m simply scrambling eggs or preparing a salad at home, I don’t give a ton of thought to my workspace. But that doesn’t mean there’s never a reason to be better organized. In a restaurant, you always need an organized and efficient prep space, even if you’re just scrambling eggs, because you’re likely doing it at a much faster pace and higher volume—while also poaching, frying, and over-easy-ing. In a tiny space. With someone yelling at you. Also, you’re probably hungover.

In a professional setting, a good line cook always sets up “stations” specific to the task at hand, regardless of what’s on the menu.

When cooking at home, you don’t need to set yourself up as rigorously as someone might in a restaurant kitchen, but there are still plenty of helpful tips to take from professional chefs. Stations make the most sense when preparing large quantities; if you’re just chopping one onion, it’ll take you longer to find and wash the multiple receptacles than to tackle the job. In those cases, don’t overthink it. But if I find myself making French onion soup for the neighborhood, then a pro setup is worth it. These tricks are especially useful if you’re planning a dinner party for friends or spending the weekend pretending to be on Chopped (everyone does that, right?). If you understand the main goals for any station, then you can create one that works best for you in your kitchen.

The details of every restaurant station are different depending on the job and the cook. If I’m working the grill station, I always keep a brush and oiled rag close by to clean and grease the grates between orders; while I’m on garde manger (cold dishes), I hoard all the mixing bowls for tossing salads. I’m short, so I rarely make much use of shelves and instead try to position myself next to tall people for strategic assistance. (Yes, people can be part of your station too.)

These are the three main points to consider for any efficient workspace:

Keep it tight: The less you move, the faster you move, so keep all necessary tools close at hand.

Have a landing zone: Keep your cutting board clutter-free by moving prepped stuff out of the way and onto a tray or into bowl.

Clean as you go: Working over a trash bowl and frequently wiping down with a wet towel makes it easy to move between different tasks and keeps cleanup quick.

Here are some examples of different prep stations, each designed to speed up workflow and cleanup. In each case, they’re set up the way I would in a restaurant. You don’t have to do it exactly the same way at home (in some cases, setting up one of these stations would take longer than just completing a very basic task), so use this less as a you-must-do-it-this-way rule and more as a starting point for thinking about how to work as efficiently as possible.

General Prep Station for Vegetables

With any general prep, it’s important to always start by securing the cutting board with a wet side towel. I like to also keep a folded wet towel nearby for wiping the board and knife down in between each task. It helps to keep your knives on a dry towel so they don’t slide around while working and the blade doesn’t rest directly against a hard surface.

A scrap container is always handy to peel directly over and keep the board clean without having to make frequent trips to the garbage. You could also work with a trash can nearby, but I’ve too often dropped a carrot mid-peel, and prefer to avoid casualties. Keeping your food scraps separate from the general trash also makes it easier to save for compost or stock.

I also like to have everything I’m about to prep nearby, so I can stay by my cutting board the entire time, instead of popping in and out of the fridge. For a landing zone, I like to have an empty sheet tray close by, but if you’re not prepping a ton of stuff, you can just put your prepped mise en place back onto their original trays.

Pro Tip! A bench scraper or rubber bowl scraper is great for moving stuff off the cutting board.

Chicken Prep Station

Breaking down chickens can be a messy job, especially if you’re doing a few at a time, so I like to set a plastic cutting board in a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips before they run all over my countertop.

Here I stick with paper towels instead of cloth for everything from anchoring the boards to setting down the knife, so I can toss them when I’m all done. I always wear gloves when handling raw meat—not to avoid washing my hands, but instead for the better grip it allows me. With raw chicken, it’s especially important to have a landing zone and scrap container ready before you touch the raw meat. The last thing you want is to reach for anything while handling raw chicken and risk cross contamination.

Pro Tip! Kitchen shears or poultry shears are always useful to have nearby when prepping chicken, not only to remove the backbone for spatchcocking, but also to clip off wing tips or trim any extra fat around the cavity.

Fish Prep Station

Unlike chicken, preparing fish is not as messy of a task, so I skip the protection of a sheet tray and instead simply secure a plastic cutting board with a wet cloth towel. Depending on how you are preparing your fish you’ll need different tools, but it’s useful to have a fillet knife or deba, utility or paring knife, as well as a set of fish tweezers.

A small container with water is great for dipping tweezers into to quickly rinse pin bones off the tip. It’s also good to keep a scrap container nearby to collect the heads and bones for fish stock or fumet. Gloves again help me get a secure grip on the fish, while a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet for the prepped fish keeps the board clean.

Pro Tip! It’s helpful to remove fins and tails with kitchen shears or poultry shears before breaking down fish for easier access to the flesh and to avoid accidentally piercing yourself on the fin bones.

Breading Station

If you’re anything like me, then you know what it feels like to start a recipe with a simple three-step breading procedure only to lose focus and devolve into a primitive dough-fisted monster. Good breading technique tells you to always keep one hand dry—for flour-ing and crumb-ing—and another wet—for picking up the unbreaded items and dipping into egg wash. This divide and conquer approach allows you to bread all day without fish-fingering yourself.

You can avoid, or at least minimize, burying your fingers in breading by starting with an organized setup. I line up bowls of flour, egg wash, and breadcrumb in one row so I can cleanly move from left to right. I keep the stuff I’m about to bread close by, along with a sheet tray with a wire cooling rack or parchment paper for the finished breaded items.

Pro Tip! I find it helps me keep my wet hand and dry hand in their respective ingredients if I chant to myself…but I’ve also been known to drink while cooking.

Frying Station

Frying at home always has the potential to become very messy, so it’s especially important to keep everything you need close by, with your workflow moving in one direction. I like to set myself up to work from the left to the right, with the stuff to be fried hugging the burner on the left and my landing zone directly to the right of the pot of oil, minimizing oil drips, spills, and burns. If you’re working on a stovetop, this might mean setting up your landing zone on top of the neighboring burner.

A digital clip-on thermometer takes the guesswork out of frying, while a kitchen spider is the best tool for fishing foods out of the pot, allowing them to drain oil back into the pot before you set them over paper towels. Fried foods are best seasoned right out of the oil, so I keep the salt close by to sprinkle on immediately.

Pro Tip! Make sure to always have extra kosher salt on hand to sop up any potential oil spills.
