Rubs And Seasonings Are Better Than Measuring Ingredients

By Frank Anderson


More people are discoveries of cooking, as certain tools and gadgets make preparing meals much easier. However, more are realizing that making a healthy meal after a long day makes more sense than stopping somewhere after work. One trick that a lot of home cooks use is to have a lot of rubs and seasonings handy.

Although some who are learning their way around the kitchen may not know about organizing, there are many ways to keep these fresh. Those seasonings and spices that fill the air with aroma will keep that same fresh scent when they are stored properly. Even if a person has a small kitchen, there is an inexpensive solution.

There are many inexpensive premixed seasonings and spices on the market but the majority of these contain salt and fillers. For those who are picky about their flavors, going cheap is a waste of time because experienced cooks end up adding more to the recipe. So the best measure is to seek a brand that values quality first.

Most people tend to think that a rub can only be used for cooking over a fire. However, these are suitable for oven cooking. The intense flavor is ideal for giving steaks and large pieces of poultry a little kick. Many home cooks find the flavor to be so powerful that there is no need to add gravy or sauce to their entree.

Investing in a countertop storage caddy or installing a cabinet spice rack may be the answer. Those with ample cabinet space may want to try out risers that elevate items so they are easy to see upon opening. If neither option is possible, adding a spice rack or organizer to wall space using removable adhesive may be an idea.

If a person does not know where to start, the basics like salt, pepper, and garlic or onion powder are good starting points. From there, a person can assess whether they prefer savory over spicy, or a little of both. One advantage to creating a customized spice rack is to know that everything will be put to good use.

For those who like to experiment with their recipes, having a few premixed seasonings or rubs cannot hurt. Some people like to add a little continental flavor to classic dishes like burgers, chicken, or meatloaf but may not know how to measure. A lot of these flavor combinations are measured so that they will bring out the natural flavor of the protein being used.

Using different flavors in cooking is what brings a little excitement to the table. By using a quality product, it normally does not take much so there is little room for failure. Anyone who is willing to learn about food types and flavor profiles realizes that they can have a lot of fun trying out new things. Whatever the outcome, it is less expensive and much healthier than eating out every day.
