Рівень: B1Тема: Zero conditional: if + present, present — наукові факти; 40+ прикладів
I am Nina. I teach basic cooking to teenagers at a community centre. When I explain how ingredients behave, I use simple rules that always work the same way.
If you heat butter in a pan, it melts quickly. If the temperature rises above one hundred degrees Celsius, water boils and steam appears. If you leave milk outside the fridge for several hours, it goes bad and smells sour.
If you mix flour with water and salt, you create a basic dough. If you knead the dough for ten minutes, it becomes smooth and elastic. If you do not knead enough, the bread does not rise well in the oven.
If you chop onions, your eyes often water. If you rinse onions under cold water first, the effect is less strong. If you cook onions slowly in oil, they turn golden and sweet.
If you add lemon juice to sliced apples, the fruit stays pale. If you forget the lemon, the apples turn brown within minutes. If you serve salad with dressing early, the leaves become soft.
If you freeze water, it becomes solid ice. If you take ice out of the freezer, it melts at room temperature. If you put hot soup in the freezer immediately, the temperature inside the freezer rises.
If you bake potatoes at two hundred degrees, they cook through in about forty minutes. If you cut them smaller, they cook faster. If you forget to pierce them with a fork, they sometimes burst in the oven.
If you whisk egg whites for long enough, they form stiff peaks. If fat touches the bowl, the whites do not rise properly. If you fold them gently into a mixture, the result stays light.
If you add sugar to yeast with warm water, the mixture foams within minutes. If the water is too hot, you kill the yeast and the bread stays flat. If you cover the bowl with a cloth, the dough rises in a warm corner of the kitchen.
If you season meat before cooking, the flavour goes deeper. If you salt only at the end, the taste stays on the surface. If you rest steak after grilling, the juices spread evenly when you cut it.
If students follow these rules, their dishes improve every week. If they measure ingredients carefully, they make fewer mistakes. If they taste food while it cooks, they learn when to add salt or herbs. If they write notes after each lesson, they remember what worked and what failed.
Last month a student burned garlic because the pan was too hot. If garlic burns, it turns bitter and ruins the sauce. If you cook it gently, it perfumes the oil without darkening. She tried again the following week, and the difference was obvious to everyone in the class.
Cooking is not magic. If you understand cause and effect in the kitchen, you feel confident with new recipes. If you practice the same techniques again and again, they become automatic. If you teach someone else these rules, you remember them even better yourself.
