In Italian cuisine, baking is one of the commonly used cooking methods. For example, pizza is made by baking. Baked pizza has a crispy crust and a fragrant aroma. Boiling is also a common method. Italian pasta is usually boiled and then combined with sauces. In French cuisine, baking is also important. French baguettes are baked and have a crispy crust. Boiling is also widely used in French cuisine. For example, French snails are usually cooked with garlic, butter and other seasonings. In American cuisine, frying is a very common cooking method.

For frying, there are potstickers with crispy crusts. - Sharing some cooking techniques, such as how to master heat control and seasoning. Mastering heat control and seasoning is the key to cooking. In the cooking of cuisines of different countries, the control of heat varies. For example, when baking pizza, one needs to master the temperature and time of the oven. If the temperature is too high or the time is too long, the pizza will be burned. If the temperature is too low or the time is too short, the pizza will be undercooked. When boiling pasta, one needs to master the boiling time according to the type and thickness of the pasta. Overcooking will make the pasta lose its texture. When frying food, one needs to control the oil temperature. If the oil temperature is too high, the food will be burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. If the oil temperature is too low, the food will absorb too much oil. Seasoning is also an important link in cooking. French cuisine pays attention to the delicate combination of seasonings. For example, the sweetness of macarons should be moderate, and the amount of powdered sugar needs to be precisely controlled. Chinese cuisine's seasoning is even more particular. The spiciness of Sichuan cuisine needs to master the amount of peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. The mellow flavor of Shandong cuisine requires an appropriate amount of soy sauce and other seasonings. Japanese cuisine's seasoning is relatively simple. Sushi usually only combines with soy sauce and wasabi and other seasonings to highlight the original flavor of ingredients. Only by mastering heat control and seasoning techniques can delicious food be cooked.IV. Experience and sharing of delicious food
