Gordon Ramsay's 5 Basic Cooking Lessons Involve No Anger, Lots Of Helpful Tips

Chef Gordon Ramsey may be a devil in his gourmet kitchen , but he's surprisingly helpful when handling raw salmon at home.

In the above video posted earlier this spring , the "Hell's Kitchen" star teaches five basic cooking tips to make home meal prep a breeze. We love learning that some rice should be rinsed before cooking , and that olive oil  keeps pasta from sticking together in the pot.

But the video's true highlight is the intense-yet-calm flourish Ramsay imposes on every move he makes, even the simplest demonstration of how to dice an onion. This is a how-to video that will keep you glued to the screen... and maybe even teach you something, too.

Happy cooking!
