    Posted by Heidi Denney on November 25, 2023 at 14:21

    I just watched my first few lessons and have found that there aren’t enough instructions about cooking temperatures and timing. (Example: “Heat oil. Fry shrimp.”) Is this common throughout the courses or did I just stumble on a bad one? I watched the Mexican Tacos course.

    Hi, @heidi-denney

    The Mexican Street Cooking course is a course categorized as having intermediate difficulty, which is why some information such as the one you suggest may be missed.

    Normally the oil temperature should be between 160°C and this temperature should be reached within 1 to 2 minutes. For deep frying it will take 4 to 5 minutes to reach that temperature, it is important to have a thermometer to know the correct temperature of the oil.

    Greetings.

      Hi Sussan. Thank you for explaining that. I cook a lot but feel tied to exact instructions. I’ll watch for the level category in the future.

        I don’t see where a course lists the skill level. Can you help me out?

          I realized the course difficulty level is only something in the browser version, not the app. 🙁
