Crisp and Golden vs. Soft and MoistPerfect description of some writing assignments.
Do you want ingredients — such as onions or potatoes — sautéed to a golden brown? Or do you want them soft and moist? Here are tips to remember:
1. For crisp, golden coloring, heat the fat first, then add the ingredients, but do not salt. Salt impedes browning.
2. For soft, moist cooking, heat the fat, ingredients, and salt together.
