Pantry rules

Five things that fix most dinners

The small habits that separate a good cook from a lucky one.

1

Salt in layers

Season at every stage, not just at the end. A dish salted only at the table always tastes flat underneath.

2

Get the pan hot first

Most "it stuck to the pan" problems are really "the pan wasn't hot enough" problems. Wait for the shimmer.

3

Save the pasta water

That starchy, salty liquid is the difference between sauce that clings and sauce that slides off. Reserve a mug before draining.

4

Rest the meat

Cut too soon and the juices run onto the board instead of staying in the slice. Give it ten minutes under foil.

5

Acid at the end

A squeeze of lemon or a splash of vinegar right before serving wakes up everything else on the plate.

6

Taste as you go

The recipe is a map, not a verdict. Your ingredients, your pan, your stove — taste and adjust until it's right for you.
