When cutting round vegetables, first cut a flat surface into it by slicing it lengthwise. Then simply flip the veggie halves so the flat side is down, and chop up as needed.
To cut thin slices of meat, put the meat in the freezer for 10 or 15 minutes before slicing to stiffen it up a little bit. Then, use the sharpest knife you have to cut thin slices for a stir fry.
To perfectly sear meat, take your meat out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and let it come to room temperature. Heat up a pan until it is very hot, add a bit of oil, and put the meat in the can. Cook until the meat easily releases from the pan.
To enjoy a perfect hard boiled egg, put your eggs into a pot and cover with water. Bring the pot to a boil. Once boiling, lower the temperature to a simmer and set a timer for 12 minutes. When the timer goes off, run the eggs under cold water to stop the cooking process.
To easily peel garlic, put separated cloves into a container with a lid and shake vigorously for about a minute. Take out the cloves and give them a quick rinse to get rid of any remaining skin.
