  Never trash the leftovers after cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving or another meal. Cut the leftover meat and put it away in airtight containers. The turkey will stay fresh for quite a few weeks if you follow these tips. It is a great way to ensure you can have sandwiches for weeks to come.
  
  When you truss your bird, you tie its legs and wings together. The advantage of trussing is that the legs and wings are held closer to the body, resulting in even cooking throughout the bird. If the turkey is not trussed, the turkey's extremities, including the wingtips and feet, can burn before the whole turkey is cooked.
  
  If you have sauce left over after a meal, store the remainder in one or more ice cube trays and let it freeze. This will make reheating the sauce easy, as you can pull out as many cubes that you need for the next meal. Freezing the sauce into cubes in the trays is safe and convenient!
  
  Toss any unused veggies or meat in a wok together with some fried rice to get the use of them before your next shopping day. Cold rice that was prepared the day before works especially well, but if none is available, just prepare fresh rice with half the water you would normally use so that the final product is drier. Heat up a small amount of oil in the wok, and then add the meats and vegetables, and cook until thoroughly warmed. Next, stir in the rice and any seasonings you want to use, such as soy sauce, ginger, garlic, or other spices.
  
  Cut meat thinly across the grain when you are stir-frying. This can get a little tricky and does tend to take up some time. Remove the meat before it is frozen, but still firm, and slice it at 45 degrees against the grain.
  
  It's well known that dark, leafy greens have high nutritional value, but preparing a tasty dish with them can be challenging. They have stems that are unchewable and take some time to remove. To make the process easier and faster, fold the leaves in half vertically, then snap the stems out of the centers. Otherwise, use a knife to cut the stem out of the folded leaf. When the leaf is unfolded, the stem is gone.
  
  When chopping fresh herbs, try shaking a small amount of salt on your cutting board first. Not only does this add a little extra flavor, it keeps the herbs you are chopping where you want them - on the board. Then monitor the amount of salt that you add to the food as it is cooking. That salt on the board adds some flavor since it sticks to the herbs.
  
  Try out the tips from this article for improved cooking experiences. Try each tip once or twice to see if it's something you can use. Practicing the concepts put forth here will help you become a better cook. You can quickly improve your chef skills if you take the time to try these tips.
