spices wisely
ditions, points out Extension
specialists of Penn State
University. The best con
ditions are storing these
products in air-tight con
tainers in a cool, dry place -
not next to the stove.
Whole spices such as stick
cinnamon, whole cloves and
vanilla beans will keep their
flavor indefinitely. Herbs
generally lose their flavor
more quickly than spices.
There is no rule for the
correct amount of flavoring
to use since each is different.
But many cooks are either
too timid or too enthusiasitc
about using seasonings. In
general, specialists suggest
starting with one-quarter
teaspoon for each pound of
meat or pint of liquid. But be
conservative with red
pepper, curry, chili, and
garlic powders - start with
one-eighth teaspoon instead.
Ground spices may be
added near the end of the
cooking period since their
flavor is released im
mediately. On the other
hand, whole spices are best
for slow-cooked dishes such
as stew. The long simmering
brings out their full flavor
and aroma.
