- When using a broiler to cook steaks, pre-heat oven until it’s really hot. This will sear the outside of the meat and keep the juices in. And don’t use a fork to turn the steaks, use thongs or a spatula to prevent juices from leaking out.
- Mushrooms should be wiped off with a damp cloth and not washed under the faucet since they are like sponges and will absorb the water.
- Make sure your roasting pan is the correct size and is placed on the middle rack.
- When roasting, save the pan juices for your gravy.
