POV: You run a food business and your brain refuses to rest.

Sometimes I’m in the kitchen cooking and my mind is already somewhere else.

“Did I buy enough ingredients?”

“Have I replied that customer?”

“Is that order for today or tomorrow?”

“Did I remember everything they asked for?”

Then I finish cooking and remember I still need to package everything, take pictures, clean up and probably edit a video.

And just when I finally lie down…

My brain: “So, have you checked tomorrow’s orders?”

At this point, I think food business has turned me into a professional overthinker.

Food vendors, please tell me I’m not the only one. What’s that one thing your brain refuses to let you forget?

A little behind the scenes of what happens before your food gets to you.

From the kitchen to the takeaway pack, every portion is handled with care because good food is not just about how it tastes, but also how it is prepared and presented.

The work behind the scenes may not always be seen, but it is definitely part of the experience.

You’ve cooked the meat for hours, so why is it still tough?

Sometimes, cooking it longer isn't the answer. In fact, you may be making the problem worse.

Several things can determine how tender your meat will be, starting before it even gets to your kitchen.

The age of the animal matters. Older animals generally have more developed connective tissue, which can make the meat tougher.

S*x can also influence tenderness, although it isn't the only factor. The breed of the animal, how active it was and the particular muscle you're cooking can also make a difference.

Then there's the type of meat and the part you're cooking. A muscle that worked hard while the animal was alive will usually have more connective tissue and may need more time and the right cooking method to become tender.

This is where many people get it wrong.

More fire doesn't always mean softer meat.

Tougher cuts usually do better with gentle cooking and enough moisture over time, which gives the connective tissue time to break down.

But if you're in a hurry, a pressure cooker can help soften tougher cuts much faster because the high pressure allows them to cook at a higher temperature.

You can also help the final texture by cutting the meat into manageable pieces and, when serving, looking for those little lines running through the meat. Cut across those lines instead of along them. You're shortening the muscle fibres, so each bite becomes easier to chew.

So the next time your meat is still tough after hours of cooking, don't just keep adding more fire.

The question is: what kind of meat are you cooking, and does your cooking method suit it?

What's the toughest meat you've ever cooked, and how did you eventually get it soft?

Sometimes, the hardest part of creating food content isn't cooking the food.

You finish cooking, the food is looking good, you're ready to eat…

Then you remember, “Wait, I haven't filmed it.”

Now you’re moving plates around, looking for the right angle, recording the same shot again because your hand entered the frame, checking the lighting and trying not to let the food get cold.

And after all that?

You still have to edit the video before you can finally say, “Done!”

Meanwhile, someone sees the finished post and thinks,
“She just cooked and posted.”

Content creation will humble you.

You see the food on the table, but do you ever think about what happens before it gets there?

Because sometimes, cooking starts long before the fire comes on.

Sorting, washing, cutting, blending… and doing it all over again because there’s plenty to prepare before that pot of food is ready.

This is one of those parts of the process that doesn’t always make it to the final picture, but it’s very much part of the work behind BeeCee’s Kitchen.

And honestly, this is the part I enjoy too.

INGREDIENTS SPOTLIGHT TUESDAY

Not every iru in the market deserves a space in your kitchen. Here’s how to know the good one.

You’ve followed us through this month as we explored iru, from what it is and the deep, savoury flavour it brings to our meals, to its nutritional benefits and how to store it properly.

For our final episode, we’re ending with something very practical:

How do you know you’re buying good iru?

Because that strong smell alone isn't enough.

Good iru should have its characteristic fermented aroma. It naturally has a strong smell, but there is a difference between that familiar fermented smell and an unpleasant odour that suggests spoilage.

Then, pay attention to the appearance and texture.

Avoid iru with visible mould, unusual discolouration or signs of contamination. If it looks excessively watery, slimy or poorly handled, that's another reason to be cautious.

And don't overlook where you buy it from.

A seller who handles and stores iru properly is a better choice than simply buying from anywhere because the price is cheaper.

Even the way the iru was stored before you bought it can affect its quality.

So the next time you're at the market buying iru, don't just ask, “How much?”

Look. Smell. Check the texture. And think about how it has been handled.

A small ingredient can make a big difference to your food, and you want that difference to be the good kind.

And just like that, we've come to the end of our iru series for this month.

What's the first thing you check when buying iru?

Let's hear from you in the comments.

Think cooking for 50 people means simply multiplying a recipe by 10? Think again.

If a recipe serves 5 people, it sounds logical to multiply everything by 10 and cook for 50.

But large-batch cooking doesn't always work that way.

Your main ingredients can often be scaled, but things like salt, pepper and seasoning cubes need more caution.

If 5 people need 2 seasoning cubes, don't automatically use 20 for 50 people. Start with a reasonable amount, taste as you cook and adjust gradually.

Water and stock also need attention. You can't always multiply the liquid by 10 and expect the same result. Your pot, ingredients and cooking method all matter.

Even cooking time doesn't simply become 10 times longer. What matters is how evenly the entire pot heats and cooks.

And please, don't underestimate your pot size. A pot that's too small can leave large quantities of food unevenly cooked.

Cooking for a crowd isn't just about multiplying numbers.

It's about understanding the recipe, adjusting as you go and, most importantly, tasting your food before it leaves the kitchen.

Because a small mistake on 5 plates is one thing.

On 50 plates? That's money, time and food wasted.

What's the biggest quantity of food you've ever cooked at once, and how did it turn out?

Tell me in the comments.
