Who DOESN’T Want A Fluffier Biscuit?

A chef posted a video, sharing his favorite cooking hacks from a lifetime in the restaurant industry. The video has 13 million views on YouTube, so he must be doing something right. Here are a few of his best tips:

  1. If you wash your produce with vinegar, it’ll last longer. (Mix is three parts water, one part vinegar, and then let them sit for a couple minutes.)
  1. Before adding fresh herbs to a dish, give them a strong squeeze beforehand. (This “bruising” releases twice as much flavor.)
  1. Use a potato masher to break up all the big chunks of your ground beef. (It works a lot better than a spoon or fork.)
  1. Put soft cheeses like mozzarella or gouda in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes before grating them.
  2. If you want to make fluffier biscuits, use bigger chunks of butter.
