15 More Secret Kitchen Hints
By Dr. Robb | February 27, 2007
While putting together my article called “15 Secret Kitchen Hints”, I quickly found that I had more than 15, so I thought it would be a great idea to have a second list:
1. For fluffier omelets, add a pinch of cornstarch before beating the eggs.
2. Thaw frozen fish in milk. The milk draws out the frozen taste and provides fresh-caught flavor.
3. You’ll get more juice from a lemon if you warm it first in a bowl of warm/hot water.
4. A sack of lumpy sugar won’t be lumpy anymore if you place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
5. A small amount of baking soda added to gravy will eliminate excess grease.
6. To remove the core from a head of lettuce, hit the core end against the counter sharply. The core will loosen and pull out easily.
7. A few drops of lemon juice added to whipping cream helps it whip faster and better.
8. Cream whipped ahead of time will not separate if you add 1/4 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin per cup of cream.
9. A leftover baked potato can be re-baked if you dip it in water and bake it at 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes.
10. Ripen green fruits by placing them in a paper bag. This will promote ripening.
11. When measuring butter or shortening in a measuring cup, dip the bottom of the measuring cup into hot water and the butter or shortening will slide right out.
12. A dampened paper towel or terry cloth brushed downward on a cop of corn will remove every strand of corn silk.
13. To determine whether an egg is hard-boiled, spin it. If it spins, it is hard-boiled; if it wobbles and will not spin, it is raw.
14. Scalding tomatoes, peaches, or pears in boiling water before peeling makes it easier on you and the fruit – the skins slip right off.
15. Before measuring honey or other syrup, oil the cup with cooking oil and rinse in hot water.
