To make the dish cook faster, you need to cover it with a lid: this is the opinion of many housewives. But this action is not always appropriate.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you when it's better not to cover the food with a lid. This is a fairly simple action that greatly affects the taste and consistency of food.

Do not cover soup, sauce or stew with a lid

The main condition for a successful homemade sauce is a sufficiently thick and viscous consistency. If you put a lid on the dish while it is cooking, you will not get the desired result because the liquid will not evaporate and the sauce will be runny. The same applies to cream soup or stew.

It is especially important to cook such dishes without a lid at the end of cooking. This will affect not only the consistency but also the intensity of the flavor.

Do not cover the food while frying

Cutlets, nuggets, or French fries are also best fried uncovered. The food will be much tastier and more attractive.

The thing is that under the lid, the food will just boil when it needs to be fried to form a golden crust. Under the lid, the same potatoes can simply fall apart because there will be too much moisture in them.
