## Kitchen School

Before the recipes, a short course in how cooking works. Chapter page: [Kitchen School](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/chapters/kitchen-school/)

- [How to use this book](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/kitchen-school/how-to-use-this-book/): Every recipe in this book is written the same way, so once you know how to read one you can read them all.
- [The ten tools you actually need](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/kitchen-school/the-ten-tools-you-actually-need/): You do not need a drawer full of gadgets.
- [Knife skills](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/kitchen-school/knife-skills/): Good knife skills make cooking faster, safer and better, because evenly cut pieces cook evenly.
- [Heat](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/kitchen-school/heat/): Most cooking is controlling heat: how much, how fast, and from which direction.
- [Seasoning and tasting as you go](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/kitchen-school/seasoning-and-tasting-as-you-go/): The difference between food that tastes fine and food that tastes wonderful is almost always seasoning.
- [Browning and the Maillard reaction](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/kitchen-school/browning-and-the-maillard-reaction/): Browning is flavor.
- [Mise en place and reading a recipe](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/kitchen-school/mise-en-place-and-reading-a-recipe/): Mise en place is French for "everything in its place." Professional cooks set up every ingredient and tool before they start cooking.
- [The well-stocked pantry](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/kitchen-school/the-well-stocked-pantry/): A well-chosen pantry means you can make a good dinner on a weeknight without shopping, and most of the recipes in this book only need a few fresh things.
- [Food safety](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/kitchen-school/food-safety/): Food safety is common sense plus a few numbers.
- [Internal temperature chart](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/kitchen-school/internal-temperature-chart/): An instant-read thermometer is the only reliable way to know how done meat and fish are.
- [Leftovers, freezing and storage times](https://copro.ai/concepts/kokeboka/kitchen-school/leftovers-freezing-and-storage-times/): Good cooks waste little.
