烹飪時常見的10個錯誤,菜鳥必看範例
1. Holding knives wrong
You’re supposed to hold your kitchen knife with your thumb on one side of the blade and your pointer finger on the other side with your remaining three fingers wrapped tightly around the top part of the handle.
握廚房用刀時應該把拇指放在刀的一邊，食指在另一邊，剩下的3根手指緊緊握着刀把的上部。ntionally burning your foods
2.特意把食物弄糊
Burning food is something you’ll want to avoid because the carbon increases your risk of cancers.
糊的食物不能吃，因爲碳會增加患癌症的風險。3. Adding ingredients in the wrong order
3.放食材的順序不對If you add your ingredients out of order, you risk ruining the dish.
如果你放食材的順序不對，就有可能毀了整道菜。4. Not sharpening knives regularly
4.不定期磨刀Even if you’re a casual cook, you should still be sharpening your knives at least two to four times a year. It is recommended to spend a few extra dollars and getting your knives professionally sharpened.
即使你不常做飯一年至少也該磨2-4次刀。建議你多花幾美元找專業的人磨刀。5. Buying a fancy knife set
5.買一套好刀具It’s better to buy knives individually. You have to really weigh if the price is worth it when you really don’t need half the knives.
刀具最好單獨買。一套刀具裏一半都用不上，你真需要權衡一下價格是否合理。6. Leaving knife blades uncovered
6.刀刃不蓋着The knife blades are extremely thin and brittle and can easily dent and chip if unprotected.
刀刃極薄極脆，如果不保護很容易弄壞弄斷。7. Using a food processor when you should be using a mixer
7.該用攪拌機時卻用食物料理機A mixer whisks, or beats foods, like dough. A food processor is kind of a hybrid of both a blender and a mixer. While some tasks are interchangeable, the machine as a whole is not.
攪拌機攪拌或拍打食物，如麪糰。料理機是攪拌器和攪拌機的合體。雖然有些功能是共有的，但沒有一個機器是全能的。8. Putting hot liquids and foods in the blender
8.把熱的液體和食物放進攪拌器The only safe way to blend a hot liquid is by placing a folded towel over the blender lid, holding it down, and starting to blend on a slow speed before increasing in intervals.
攪拌熱的液體唯一安全的方法就是在攪拌器的蓋子上放一條疊好的毛巾，按住，開始慢速攪拌，然後每隔一段時間加入一點。9. Allowing ready-to-eat foods and raw foods to touch
9.即食食物和生的食物混在一起To avoid cross-contamination, you should never put RTE foods and raw foods on the same plate or cutting board.
爲了避免交叉污染，絕對不要把即食食物和生的食物放在一個盤子或砧板上。10. Cutting meats before veggies
10.先切肉再切蔬菜While you don’t need two separate cutting boards for your meats and veggies, you should always cut your vegetables before your meat. This way you don’t have to clean the cutting board numerous times and you reduce your chances of cross-contamination.
雖然你不需要兩塊砧板分開切肉和蔬菜，但你應該先切蔬菜再切肉，這樣就不需要沒完沒了地洗砧板，也能減少交叉污染的可能。
