Tricks of master chefs that are revealed only at culinary schools:
A perfect steak
For a perfect steak, make sure you don't cook it cold. At least two hours before heat treatment, take it out of the refrigerator to come to room temperature.
Juicy meat
It is difficult to prepare meat that is sufficiently cooked and at the same time remains juicy. This simple trick can help: simply soak the meat in brine. Add a quarter of a glass of salt and the same amount of sugar to three glasses of water. Soak the meat in brine and leave it in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
Light crumbly dough
To make a really light shortcrust pastry, take the eggs and butter out of the fridge a day in advance.
Fish with a crispy crust
When grilling fish, coat it thinly with mayonnaise. This will give it a crispy crust.
Excellent cream soup
For a creamier taste of vegetable soup, first fry the vegetables in olive oil. Then cook it and blend it.
The best pancakes
For better pancakes, add two tablespoons of sour cream to the mass.

Perfect eye candy
There are three rules to follow for perfect eggs: use a pan with a thick bottom, add enough butter and bake at a low temperature.
Crispy crust on bread
If you make bread at home, you may have the problem that it is often underbaked or overbaked. You can fix this by placing a bowl of water in the oven. The moisture will make a crispy crust on the bread.
Fried onions
For nicely roasted onions, use oil and butter and definitely add salt. The latter helps the onion to dissolve faster and caramelize it a bit.
Sugar can also be a spice.
Sugar can also be used outside the framework of desserts. You can use it to improve tomato sauce or salad. Just be careful not to overdo it.
