- Never, Ever put water on a grease fire. If you are going to cook in a kitchen, this should be lesson number one, (I should have put this as number one! ) Water on a grease fire blows up!! If you have a grease fire you should think flour, baking soda or fire extinguisher. Never water! Never liquid! Never!!
- To brighten up your vegetables as you sauté' them give them a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Add at least a teaspoon of vinegar to any soup or stew to make it even more flavorful!
- Did you know coffee beans absorb nasty odors? I bought a used car years ago and the previous owners had smoked inside the car. I poured a bag of freshly ground coffee beans in the floor board and after one week the smoke smell was completely gone!
- Are your eggs fresh? Get a bowl of water. Eggs that float are no good. Eggs in the middle of the bowl use up today. Eggs on the bottom, they are fresh.
- Have you ever burnt a pot of rice? Don't stir! Just put a slice of bread on top for about 5-10 minutes. The bread will absorb the burn taste. Then you can serve the rice, just don't scrape the bottom of the saucepan.
- After boiling vegetables or pastas instead of pouring the water down the drain save it. Pour it into a bowl and let it cool and then feed it to your house plants. They love the nutrients in the water.
- Need to squeeze a lemon. To get the most juice out of a lemon be sure to roll it around on the counter for a few minutes and then you can stick it in the microwave for 20 seconds.
- Have you ever had a soup turn out a little too fatty or greasy? Drop in a few ice cubes. Ice cubes will attract the fat or grease and then you can spoon it out easily. It is a very quick process.
- If a soup you are making is too salty, then peel a potato and add it for a little while. It will absorb some of the saltiness.
