Indig Tips (7)

If you want to kick the habit of always sampling the food while cooking, the best way is to make sure that you always have something else in your mouth.
A useful substitute is to always keep slices of cold butter by the stove; then you can take one slice at a time and let it slowly melt in the mouth. To keep the butter from melting in summer, you can let the slices float in a bowl of ice water.
