Useful Tips in the Kitchen

I put together a list of things that you might find useful while cooking in the kitchen.  Some you may already know.  Hopefully, there will be something useful here.  If not, sorry!  Have a great Wednesday!!!

Useful Tips in the Kitchen:

1.)  sear large pieces of meat to seal in the juices

2.)  use squash instead of pumpkin for pie for a delicious taste

3.)  cut up & wash fruit & veggies as soon as you buy them (it saves lots of time when cooking meals)

4.)  feed veggie peels to chickens (it makes them very happy)

5.)  when making hard boiled eggs, use very cold water before you boil (this helps the peels to come off easily)

6.)  use 1 cup vinegar in a sink full of water to wash fruit & veggies

7.)  cook homemade pizza at 450 or 500 degrees for 8-10 min. to get a chewy crust

8.)  brush melted butter on bread & rolls as soon as they come out of the oven so they stay soft

9.)  put an opened box of baking soda in the refrigerator to absorb odors

10.)  freeze herbs & olive oil in an ice cube tray to preserve the herbs until you are ready to use them
