How to Store Spices

Keep them in an airtight, dry container away from heat or light.

If you want to keep spices fresh for a long time, place them into a dark cupboard. This will preserve them and prevent any oxidation.

Your spices should be kept in cool and dry areas, away from direct sunlight. You can lose the aroma and flavor of your spice if it is near a heater or window.

Spices can be best kept in an airtight container or tin. Avoid storing spices in plastic containers.

It is vital to always check the seal after opening, resealing and before storing.

What is Thai spice used for?

The term Thai spice is a common phrase that we've heard a lot, but don't really know what it means. We are left wondering why we don't eat more Thai spice when our mouths water.

It isn't just any spice. It's an essential ingredient that adds flavor and depth to dishes that would otherwise be bland.

Many recipes call for Thai spice, but only a few have the actual thing. Let's find out how to add these wonderful flavors to your dishes.

Thais have been using herbs and spices in their cooking since antiquity to add flavor to food. The name Thai originates from the Sanskrit word for "to cook."

Today, Thais still love spicy food. This preference can be attributed to Thailand’s hot weather. It is difficult to stay warm when you don't have something to drink. Thais also consume more chili peppers per capita than Americans and Europeans.

You can learn the most about Thai spices by visiting a local Asian grocery. There will be a large selection of ingredients available including dried chilies (fresh basil leaves), curry paste, ground black pepper, and curry paste.

You may also come across whole peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom pods, ginger root, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, nutmeg, mace, mustard seed, saffron threads, garlic, onion, rice vinegar and tamarind juice.

Thai cuisine can use either dry or wet spices. Wet spices are ground finely, while dry spices are typically ground.

Dry spices are typically added directly to a dish. A good example is chicken soup with ground red pepper. Mixing wet spices with oil or butter can create a paste.

Wet spices are often used in sauces, marinades, and dressings. Wet spices are used in many dishes, including fish sauce, oyster, sesame, sesame, sesame oil and curry paste.

Thai cuisine can be made at home by learning which spices work well with specific ingredients.

Red pepper flakes should be used if you're using beef. Use white pepper if you are using seafood like shrimp.

Online ordering is also possible if you don’t have an Asian market. You can find everything here, from dried chilies to exotic spices and herbs.

How To

How To Make A Garlic Press?

A garlic press is a valuable tool in every home cook's kitchen. It makes it easy to mince garlic into a paste, puree it into soups or salad dressings, or even make a sauce. It is great for crushing whole garlic cloves in a buttery spread, or garlic salt.

You might be wondering where to begin if you don’t have a garlic press. Here are some tips that will help you get started.

First of all, you'll need to get a large bowl. Place the bowl beneath the press, and then pour the crushed garlic in it. Now adjust the pressure regulator to the maximum.

Next, turn the handle counterclockwise until you hear a click. The top end of the press should lift and reveal a flat area that allows you to slide your blade back and forth across the bowl. Continue turning the handle counterclockwise to close the blades.

Finally, take the pressed garlic out and enjoy!

Here are other ways you can make use of this versatile tool.

• Add minced garlic to soups, sauces, salads, and dips (or even as a seasoning)
• To crush whole garlic cloves, use the press to create a buttery spread
• Before baking, crush whole cloves of garlic on pizza dough
• Mix roasted garlic in mashed potatoes or creamy pasta.
• Make pesto with garlic mashed in the press
• Blend garlic to make a smooth vinaigrette
