Directions:
: If your cake recipe calls for nuts, heat them first in the
: oven, then dust with flour before adding to the batter to
: keep them from settling to the bottom of the pan.
:
: Three unshelled pecans added to cooking turnips or other
: greens will keep any scent from going throughout the house.
:
: To hasten the cooking of foods in a double boiler, add salt
: to the water in the outer boiler.
:
: Scalding tomatoes, peaches or pears in boiling water before
: peeling makes skins slip right off.
:
: A jar lid or a couple of marbles in the bottom half of a
: double-boiler will rattle when the water gets low and warn
: you to add more before the pan scorches or burns.
:
: Dull aluminum pots and pans will brighten after you boil a
: handful of apple parings in them.
:
: To clean the inside of a glass container, put ten or twelve
: BB shots into it along with good, soapy lather. Shake
: vigorously, then finish the job with a bottle brush. The
: BBs do a good job of cleaning out those tiny spots you
: cant get to.
:
: Stains and sediment in cut glass or hobnob bowls or vases
: respond to olive oil. Pour some in and let stand until the
: stains or sediment disappear.
:
: Overnight soaking in liquid household bleach will rid a
: kitchen sponge of odors and remove any food stains at the
: same time.
:
: A meringue pie can be covered with waxed paper or plastic
: wrap without sticking if you first grease the paper with
: margarine.
:
: Lettuce wrapped in paper towels rather than a cloth before
: refrigerating will prevent and rusting of the leaves.
:
: When mincing garlic, sprinkle on a little salt so the pieces
: wont stick to your knife or cutting board.
:
: Add a pinch of salt to over-perked coffee to take away the
: bitter taste.
:
: Add a pinch or two of baking powder to mashed potatoes to
: make them extra fluffy.
:
: A pinch or two of flour added to the grease in which youve
: just fried bacon or sausage will keep it from popping out
: and burning you when you start to fry your eggs.
:
: Make your own cookbook by investing in a photo album with
: see-through plastic pages, then organize and insert into the
: pages any recipes youve clipped from magazines or
: newspapers.
:
: Add a pinch of baking soda in steeping tea to keep it from
: getting cloudy.
:
: Baking soda will rescue cream thats beginning to turn. Add
: a small quantity to prevent curdling or a sour taste.
:
: Soupy whipped cream can be saved if you add an egg white,
: chill thoroughly, then re-beat.
:
: More heavy cream than you need? Whip it, then drop it by the
: spoonful onto aluminum foil and freeze. Once frozen, store
: the rosettes in freezer bags and use for garnishing at some
: future date.
:
: Noodles, spaghetti and other starches wont boil over if you
: rub the inside of the pot with vegetable oil.
:
: A pastry blender is ideal for chopping hard boiled eggs or
: mashing potatoes.
:
: Crush crackers for pie crust or toppings with no mess. Toss
: crackers into a bread wrapper and roll with the rolling pin.
:
: Brown gravy in a hurry with a bit of instant coffee straight
: from the jar...no bitter taste, either.
