Tips and Tricks
#1 Fresh lemon juice will remove onion odor from hands.
#2 Instant potatoes are a good stew thickener.
#3 When cooking vegetables that grow above the ground, the rule of thumb is to boil them without a cover.
#4 A lump of sugar added to water when cooking greens helps vegetables retain their fresh color.
#5 Never soak vegetables after slicing; they will lose much of their nutritional value.
#6 Vinegar can remove spots caused by tomatoes. Soak the spot with vinegar and wash as usual.
#7 Add a drop of food coloring to hard boiled eggs in your refrigerator, this will help you tell them apart from your raw eggs.
#8 Your fruit salads will look perfect when you use an egg slicer to make perfect slices of your fresh strawberries, kiwis or bananas.
#9 To cool your punch, float an ice ring made from the punch rather than using ice cubes. Not only is this more decorative, it inhibits melting and diluting.
#10 One lemon yields approximately 1/4 c. juice; one orange about 1/3 c. juice. This is helpful when making recipes that call for a certain amount of juice or when making fresh lemonade or orange juice.
