Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Adding flavor sweet on food should not use gula. You can use honey as an alternative to an additional sweetener.
Honey can provide a sweet taste with a slightly different taste from granulated sugar or Javanese sugar. The use of honey is not limited to all sweet preparations such as cakes or bread but also salty-savory preparations such as steaks.
Some people are still hesitant to mix honey in cooking so it needs adaptation. To get better at using honey for cooking, there are a few tips you can try.
1. Dosage rules
Launching from Learn to Cook, honey has a super sweet taste and several variants of the sweetness can be twice the sugar. You can’t just replace sugar with honey in equal measure. So you should use a 2: 1 ratio. If you usually use two parts sugar, use only 1 part when using honey. This way the cake or cake will not be too sweet.
2. Do not use too much liquid
Honey has hygroscopic properties, meaning it can attract or absorb water molecules from the surrounding environment. When cooking, honey can attract water and moisture to cooking. When you are working with something, make sure you reduce the volume of liquid used.
3. Reduce the temperature
Honey is great for greasing pretzels, toast, or pastries. During the roasting process, the character of honey is quite different from regular sugar because it melts quickly. We recommend that you reduce the oven temperature to about 3 degrees Celsius from the temperature that is usually used. This will reduce the risk of burning.
4. Use for roasts
Usually ordinary roasts or steaks are consumed right away. If you use sauce, maybe it’s only limited to chili sauce or mustard. Every now and then you can try honey as a sauce.
The sweet taste of honey will be met with savory and juicy of the meat so that it provides a new dining sensation. Launching from Taste of Home, try adding lime juice for added freshness.
5. Dressing salad
Consumption of vegetable or fruit salads is indeed healthy. However, the label ‘healthy’ must be removed because of the inappropriate dressing. Certain salad dressings can actually add calories and make you fail your diet.
Why not make your own salad dressing? Just mix honey, olive oil and apple cider vinegar. The tasty vegetable salad was so fresh with a sweet and sour taste.
