Title: Some helpful tips
Post by: SPKmes on July 12, 2008, 08:19:13 PM

For a change

After chopping garlic and onions rub your hands on stainless steel, spoons etc. the steel is supposed to absorb the odour.

Better yet, don't use fresh. Pour right out of the spice bottle... done.

 To aid in washing dishes, add a tablespoon of baking soda to your soapy water--it softens hands while cutting through grease!


 Substitute half applesauce for the vegetable oil in your baking recipes. You'll greatly reduce the fat content! (Example: 1/2 cup vegetable = oil 1/4 cup applesauce + 1/4 cup oil)


 To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool, salted water. If it sinks, it is fresh; if it rises to the surface, throw it away.


 Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato- based sauces. No more stains!
