The Basics to start considering

The next few posts are going to be covering some very basic things so that all 8 of you who follow this blog with an almost obsessive dedication can have things to refer to if needed. The other fun thing is that these techniques can be linked back to through the subsequent posts. If you are already familiar with these then witness the mastery that is the Cooker's.

In no particular order so far.
Using the tools in your kitchen the right way, and knowing which ones to have
Choosing the right pan or pot for the job
Getting friendly with your friend the knife (your new friend)

Techniques:

Saute
Pan-Fry
Roast
Braise
Bake
Steam
Boil
Poach
Simmer
Broil
Grill

Those techniques will take us right into a whole bunch of other wonderful things as well, however that list is looking daunting enough as it is.
