Appreciate the slow cook.
The hidden Holy Grail in your kitchen is probably tucked away in a cabinet somewhere, only making an appearance for the occasional pot of chili. The slow cooker can bring meals out that you never would have thought possible all while doing the work itself, hands free. Learn to appreciate slow roasting food in your kitchen and you can turn poor ingredients into powerful ones and great ingredients even better. Slow roast veggies and meat, or both, for 6 – 10 hours at a time. When you finally pull out your food you’ll have succulent, moist, pull-apart level food that will almost melt in your mouth — literally. Don’t feel guilty that you let the slow cooker do all of the work.

Guide your dish with chicken stock.
When you first start playing around in the kitchen and chasing after the fancy new recipes on the internet you will end up introduced to a world of different ingredients. One of the more common ingredients you will run across is: stock. Stock comes in a bunch of different varieties that include: beef stock, chicken stock, veggie stock and so on. While they all have a place in your kitchen you typically should reach for chicken stock above all. Chicken stock is the perfect way to work some flavor into a bunch of recipes without overpowering them. Veggie stock is typically spiced up to high heaven and beef stock is just too powerful to balance out easily. Unless you are cooking seafood, ditch fish stock almost completely.
