Salt is added to plant-based meat during processing, so you can use less of it in plant-based recipes versus animal-meat recipes.

Plant-based meat also sticks to cooking surfaces. Avoid this by using a nonstick skillet as your default.

Plant-based meat is pretty sticky. Wear food-handling gloves or moisten your hands with water as needed to prevent sticking.

Plant-based meat cooks faster than animal meat, so begin checking for doneness on the early side of cooking time ranges.
