- When you cook meat or chicken, you should first cook over high heat to seal juices and then lower the heat and cook till tender.
- Meat that partially frozen is much easier to cut or slice.
- Don’t add salt to the meat before you cook. The salt force the juices out and impede browning instead, salt meat halfway through cooking.
