Some people are so good at certain things, it might look like they were born knowing how to do them. But more times than not, it’s a result of hard work, countless instances of trial and error, and maybe using a few tips they’ve picked up somewhere or from someone.

Cooking is no exception. Avid users of pots, pans, and saucers know that it takes hours to master certain recipes or techniques, but certain tips and tricks can boost the process of taking one’s kitchen game to the next level. And while some of them browse recipe books or blogs to look for information, others pick them up by accident; for instance, while watching TV.

Members of the ‘Cooking’ subreddit recently discussed learning things from shows or movies after one of them started a thread about it. So, if you’re curious about where exactly they got the tips from, or what the tips themselves were, scroll down to find their answers on the list below, and get cooking!

Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with the mastermind behind the documentary food podcast ‘Lecker’, Lucy Dearlove, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions regarding all things food.

34 Cooking Hacks From Movies Or TV Shows To Take Your Cooking To The Next Level In War Games (Matthew Broderick, 1983) there is a scene where the family is sitting down to dinner. They butter their bread and then roll the ear of corn on the bread to butter it. My brain sort of slipped a cog and I was like why didn’t I think of that?!?!?!

34 Cooking Hacks From Movies Or TV Shows To Take Your Cooking To The Next Level I was watching a documentary many years ago, and they were interviewing a sister(?) of a murderer/criminal/missing person -I forget. While being interviewed, she was making little turnover things. Half of a peeled peach with a little brown sugar and spices where the pit used to be. Plopped onto a bit of pie pastry, cut out larger than the peach, gathered together like a beggars purse, brushed with butter or egg wash and baked.

I've made these for decades, my kids, and then grandkids love them. I'm sure there is a name and actual written recipe for them, but I just make them as described whenever circumstances allow.

While some people limit themselves to learning from books or personal experience only, those with an open mind can find inspiration elsewhere, too; and I don’t just mean shows and movies.

Talking about inspo for making chef d'oeuvres in the kitchen, the mastermind behind the Lecker podcast, Lucy Dearlove, pointed out that you can find it basically everywhere. “I'm very interested in how the way we think about food is affected by everything else going on in the world, so I always keep my eye out for stories that maybe aren't directly connected to food on the surface but there is undoubtedly a link when you take a closer look.

“I also approach food very seasonally and love to use ingredients that are in season locally to where I live, and I always want to consider how what we eat can have an impact on our planet,” she said.

34 Cooking Hacks From Movies Or TV Shows To Take Your Cooking To The Next Level Season your vegetables - it’s a game changer for sandwiches!

Like I would often slice tomatoes and put them in my sandwich, but I’d never thought to sliced them, add some flaky sea salt, leave them for a few mins and then add to the sandwich, it adds so much for such a simple step!

Similarly, “lubrication” is important with sandwiches and is a game changer!

Something fatty like butter or mayo on your roll, toss your shredded lettuce in a vinaigrette, or even one I’ve tried is to toss it in a little pickle juice or jalapeño juice.

And also texture differences, you don’t want a pile of slop, so you need texture variations.

Turned out that “simple” sandwiches that taste amazing are more complicated than I realised.

34 Cooking Hacks From Movies Or TV Shows To Take Your Cooking To The Next Level Thanks to Alton Brown, I now roll my sugar cookie and gingerbread man dough out using powdered sugar instead of flour on the counter and rolling pin. It makes a HUGE difference as it keeps the dough from becoming tougher and dryer with each re-roll of the scraps.

Thanks to a show from the 1990s, I now add a little water to my scrambled eggs when beating them instead of using milk as I was taught to use. The program was one where the presenters prepared a dish in the various accepted ways (in this case, with milk, with water, and by breaking the eggs into the pan and scrambling them around as they cooked) and gave it to a large room full of random volunteers who tried each version and rated it. In this case, the water version won in tenderness, fluffiness, and even taste. Turns out that a protein in milk interacts with a component in the eggs to form a bond that makes the eggs tougher. It also prevents the eggs from becoming as fluffy as the water version. Some people rated the pan scramble good, but in general the comments were that they tasted and looked like a hard-fried egg gone wrong

Thanks to a mukbang video (Heungsam’s Family) on YouTube, I learned that making kimchi is not as difficult as the recipe appears. I now make their recipe several times per year and even bought a 1/2 gallon kimchi container that I keep in my fridge at all times.

According to Lucy, the reason people seem to be so interested in food and food-related content—other than the obvious need for sustenance—lies deeper than the surface level of hunger. “I think a lot of the interest comes from a deep curiosity about who we are, where we come from and how we connect to our wider history. You can travel the world and learn about so many different food traditions and cultures just by cooking in your own kitchen, or watching YouTube or TikTok and that's so exciting,” she told Bored Panda.

“I think the pandemic has had a big effect on this too,” the producer of the documentary food podcast continued. “Our lives became very centered around the domestic for an extended period of time and food gave us a connection to the world beyond our homes that we couldn't access during the lockdowns. And this has stayed with us since 2020 and only seems to be growing.”

In Lucy’s opinion, having this access to what different individuals in different countries are cooking and eating has really influenced people in places which haven't traditionally had such a strong interest in food. “In the UK, we haven't always taken food that seriously, but I think in recent years this has really changed thanks to the global wealth of content being made around it,” she suggested.

“Food is where so many things interconnect,” Dearlove emphasized. “Gender, culture, race, class, labor rights, land rights, politics, distribution of wealth – all of these things influence how and what we eat and our collective food history.”

She agreed that not everyone is interested in exploring food beyond it being a source of sustenance—as not everyone is into ballet, or opera, for example—but in her opinion, one can’t deny that both the history and the contemporary reality of our food cultures are inextricably linked with so many of our society's joys; as well as its struggles.

From one of his tv shows…. He was yelling at a chef that their water for boiling their pasta should “smell salty like the ocean.” I. Never really knew how much to use but this is how I always do it now and it makes a big difference.

Edit for the “well, actually!” Folks - the steam should smell salty like the ocean. Not, the boiling water should taste salty like the ocean. But here we are. 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Together with the mastermind behind Lecker, we discussed the visual part of all sorts of wonders of gastronomy, too, and while she does not deny that beauty is important, in her eyes, food should look delicious rather than photogenic.

ADVERTISEMENT

“I think presentation and styling on the plate is an art, and I love seeing a beautiful panda bento on my feed as much as the next person, but I would rather see a delicious looking bowl of something that isn't stereotypically instagrammable, like a rustic soup or a pulse-based dish, than a rainbow frosted cake or a smoothie bowl, because personally I wouldn't want to eat those things as much.

“We eat with our eyes first, sure, but we should be careful of getting too caught up in the way food looks rather than the way it tastes. I want to see messy kitchen pics behind the scenes as well as beautiful tablescapes,” she shared.

For puffy omelets i crack 3 eggs in a bowl, add about 1/2 to 2/3rds of an eggshell of COLD water, then whisk with a fork till well blended and a bit foamy. Then I heat the pan with a lid on and a bot of butter. When the butter melts I pour in the egg mixture re-cover, wait a few seconds till it gets a bit of "skin" and starts puffing up. Then add cheese, (cooked) meat, veggies making sure not to add too much. Cover back up and wait till it puffsall the way up and has a light golden outer layer, fold cover for a bit more, flip and cover one more time then serve

A good test of a decent, properly sharpened knife is if it will cut through tomato skin with just the tiniest downward pressure, no sawing needed. Serrated knives are for people who can't sharpen their normal ones properly.
