Hot Tips
Bringing meat to room temperature
Always bring your meat (this does not apply to minced meat) to room temperature before cooking it. This will allow for the exterior of the meat to brown nicely when it comes into contact with heat.
Glossary

A fiery hot red chilli pepper, sometimes used as a seasoning or flavouring.
