Directions:
: Two ways to remove excess fat from soups or stews. Fold or
: roll paper towels and lay over contents of the pot, then
: remove with tongs. Or place a sheet of waxed paper atop the
: liquid and refrigerate. When liquid has cooled, peel off the
: paper and the fat comes off with it.
:
: To hasten the ripening of garden tomatoes, put them in a
: brown paper bag, close the bag and leave at room temperature
: for a few days. This also works with avocados.
:
: Vinegar applied to kitchen burns prevents blisters as well
: as pain.
:
: Fill a small jar with dry milk and use as coffee creamer.
:
: Keep a shaker of six parts salt to one part pepper handy in
: the kitchen for instant seasoning.
:
: A few beans or grains of rice inside a salt shaker will keep
: the salt flowing freely in the dampest weather.
:
: Buy lemons or limes when you find a bargain, squeeze, then
: measure a tablespoon of juice into each compartment of an
: ice cube tray and freeze. Pop the cubes into a plastic bag
: and store in the freezer until needed.
:
: Fish grease can be saved for other things if you peel and
: slice one whole potato and cook it in the grease. All fishy
: taste and odor will be gone.
:
: Melting butter. Place amount needed in a plastic sandwich
: bag and immerse in hot water until melted. Any leftover
: butter can be refrigerated in the same bag.
:
: Empty salt cartons with spouts make great containers for
: bread crumbs ground from dried bread. Use a funnel to get
: the crumbs into the carton.
:
: Put frying fish into the pan skin side down first, then it
: wont curl.
:
: For tender southern-style corn on the cob, add 1/2 cup of
: milk and one teaspoon sugar to the boiling water before
: dropping in the corn.
:
: Add a teaspoon of vinegar in the water used in making pie
: crust makes the crust much flakier.
:
: Egg whites wont run while boiling or poaching if you add a
: little vinegar to the water.
:
: Preserving leftover egg yolks; put them in a small bowl, add
: two tablespoons of salad oil, cover and refrigerate. The
: yolks will remain soft and fresh.
:
: If you like your boiled onions whole, use an ice pick or
: sharp knife and punch several holes around the center of
: each onion before cooking.
:
: To make lump free gravy, add a pinch of salt to the flour
: before mixing it with water.
:
: Retard growth on the surface of cheese by wrapping it in a
: cloth dampened with salt water before storing it in the
: refrigerator.
:
: Add a few drops of lemon juice to whipping cream to help it
: whip faster and better.
:
: Dip the spoon into hot water before measuring shortening or
: butter. This will cause the fat to slip out easily without
: sticking to the spoon.
:
: A few grains of salt sprinkled in ice cube trays before
: filling will make the cubes much easier to remove when
: frozen and will eliminate the need to run water over the
: trays.
:
: A sack of lumpy sugar wont be lumpy if you place it the
: refrigerator for 24 hours.
:
: A thoroughly washed and rinsed tuna can with both ends
: removed makes a perfect mold for poached eggs.
:
: Eggs which crack while boiling may be sprinkled lavishly
: with salt to seal the crack.
