Fantastic Kitchen Tips
October 23, 2009 by Stacie Lewin
I am always looking for new tips for the kitchen. Whether it be cleaning or cooking tips I always find them helpful. Today I want to share a few of my tips with all of you.
- Before cutting an onion run your hands under cold water. This will stop you from tearing up.
- After you boil hard boil eggs run each one under cold water. Once the egg is really cold you smash each end and roll it side to side and that will make the shell come off easier.
- Put a little salt in your grease when frying bacon it will prevent less splatter.
- To keep potatoes from budding put an apple in the bag.
- To keep your cookies fresh add a slice of bread to your container or cookie jar.
- If you over salt a dish while cooking put a slice of potato in as it will absorb the salt.
- To soften up hard brown sugar but a slice of apple in the bag.
- If you have a throbbing headache cut a piece of lime and rub it on your forhead.
- When cutting fresh fruits or vegetables fill the container with water so it’s over the fruits and vegetables and squeeze the juice of one lemon. Also if you rub lemon juice on the cutting board it also prevents your fruits and vegetable from turning brown.
- You can clean up grease or oil spills by sprinkling flour over the spill as it will soak it up. Then it can be easily scraped up and thrown out preventing the grease from spreading around when cleaning up with a paper towel.
