Master the heat, master the dish.

Ever wondered why your rice turns mushy, your garlic burns before the onions cook, or your fried food never gets that perfect golden crunch? Welcome to Heat & Fire, the third module of Kusinaskwela: Paano Ba ’To?, where you'll learn how to control heat with confidence and use it to cook better everyday meals.

In this module, Chef Erik breaks down the essential cooking skills behind three of the most common kitchen tasks Filipinos do every day: cooking rice, sangkutsa (sautéing), and frying. Learn how different heat levels affect your food, how to tell when your pan is ready, and why timing matters when cooking. Through simple, practical lessons, you'll discover how to avoid common cooking mistakes and achieve better results using the tools already in your kitchen.
