Directions:
: No more tears when peeling or slicing onions if you first
: place them in the freezer for four or five minutes.
:
: To rid your hands of odors after cutting up onions or
: garlic, rub moistened salt into your hands, then rinse with
: warm water and soap.
:
: Removing all air from plastic bags before freezing will help
: preserve flavor and appearance of their contents and will
: keep ice particles from forming. Remove air by inserting a
: straw into the bag, twist bag and suck. If no straw is
: handy, use your own lung power to suck the air out. Give
: the bag several more twists, then seal.
:
: Place a dampened folded dish towel under the bowl in which
: you are whipping cream to keep the bowl from moving all over
: the counter top.
:
: Add a small amount of vinegar when cooking older beef or
: chicken to make the meat tender and give it a delicious
: flavor.
:
: When youre scalding milk, first rinse the pan in cold water
: and the milk wont stick to the pan.
:
: If your recipe calls for herbs, marinate them in a
: tablespoon or two of olive oil for 30 minutes before
: adding to the stew or sauce to bring out the full aroma of
: the herbs.
:
: To easily unmold gelatin, smooth a thin coating of
: mayonnaise or salad dressing on all areas of the mold that
: the gelatin will touch. If you wet the dish or plate on
: which the gelatin is to be unmolded, it can be moved around
: until centered.
:
: Drop a lettuce leaf into a pot of homemade soup to absorb
: excess grease from the top.
:
: If youve over salted your soup or vegetables, add a slice
: of raw potato.
:
: A slice of raw potato will also re-crisp limp celery. Just
: put them together in cold water for a few hours.
:
: Cream will whip faster and better if you first chill the
: cream, the beaters and the bowl.
:
: A cup hook mounted near the kitchen sink makes a safe,
: convenient holder for rings or other jewelry while you wash
: dishes.
:
: Glycerin, applied with a medicine dropper, makes an excellent
: lubricant for egg beaters and other kitchen utensils with
: moving parts. Unlike oil, it will not spoil the taste of
: food if accidentally mixed.
:
: When eggs are stored in one basket, pencil-mark the older
: ones as a reminder to use them first.
:
: Make your own celery flakes. Just cut and wash the leaves
: from the celery stalks; place them in the oven on low heat
: or in the hot sun until thoroughly dry. Crumble and store in
: an air-tight container.
:
: Brush fresh meat with olive oil before wrapping for the
: freezer to keep it moist and prevent any drying out.
:
: A little vinegar and salt boiled in an iron skillet removes
: burned or discolored spots.
:
: Vinegar will remove fish and onion odors from dishes,
: utensils and your hands. A teaspoon of heated vinegar added
: to boiling cake icing prevents it from cracking when set.
:
: Grease the prongs of the long handled fork to prevent
: roasted marshmallows from sticking.
:
: After beating egg whites, dont tap the beater on the bowl.
: It causes the whites to lose much of their fluffiness.
:
: If youre in a hurry for ice cubes, leaves 3 or 4 cubes in
: the tray when you refill it. They chill the water faster and
: youll have ice cubes in half the time.
:
: Two waxed paper sandwich bags, one slipped inside the other,
: make a dandy makeshift mitt to use for greasing cookie
: sheets and baking pans.
