Nifty Kitchen Tips
Everyone who cooks is always on the lookout for ways to save time in the kitchen. The more time you save, the more you can cook… or do other things you enjoy doing. Here are a few tips that I have run across, during my travels through cyberspace. I hope you find them as nifty as I do.
~ As self- proclaimed ‘salad junkie’, I eat a lot of romaine lettuce. The day that I purchase it, I take a couple of extra minutes to get it ready for the fridge. Doing so, allows it to stay fresher for a longer period of time.
Twist off the core at the bottom. Watch the leaves under cold water. Now is the time to remove any leaves that are bruised or brown looking. Dry them with a salad spinner, if you’re lucky enough to own one. If not, use an ordinary towel.
When the leaves are dry, place them between damp paper towels. Transfer to a Ziploc bag and store in your crisper. Your lettuce will stay fresh for a week. Yum!
~ I learned this a long time ago from my grandmother. Believe it or not, it really works. The next time you boil eggs, add a pinch of salt to the water. This will prevent the shells from cracking.
~ Kind of along the same lines, if you’re cooking a pot something and you accidentally added too much salt, add a peeled potato to the mix. It will absorb the salt almost immediately. Just don’t forget to remove it before serving the meal.
~ Have you ever burnt something in a skillet? I know I have. You can easily remove it by adding a couple of drops of dish soap and enough water to cover the bottom. Return skillet to the stovetop and bring water to a boil. This makes it much easier to clean.
~ Last but not least, if you use a lot of fresh oranges or lemons you can get more juice out of them by throwing them on your kitchen counter before squeezing. Sugar-free lemonade, anyone?<-->
