Notes

Preheat Pans for Even Cooking: Preheat your pans before adding ingredients to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Brine Poultry for Juiciness: Brining poultry in a saltwater solution before cooking helps retain moisture and enhances flavor.
Use Fresh Herbs as Garnish: Elevate dishes with a sprinkle of fresh herbs just before serving for a pop of color and added freshness.
