[DISCUSSION] Techniques That Changed Something For You - eviltoast

A lot of good cooking is in technique. What’s something that you discovered or was told that really changed something meaningful for you? For me, I had struggled a lot to make omelettes. They always wound up becoming scrambled eggs because I sucked at flipping them over to cook on the other side (I like my eggs cooked pretty well so this was important to me.) Finally, watching someone else make an omelette, I noticed they didn’t flip it. They put a lid on the pan, turned the heat down, and let the top cook that way. I tried it myself and now I make almost perfect omelettes every time. Have you had anything like this happen to you? If so, what was it?

    You can balance flavors if you add the right counter flavor, like something that tastes too much like fat can be balanced with more salt, sugar with more acid, tbh I dont remember the combos as I dont really do things intentionally when I cook anymore but it blew my mind when I first learned about this.
