Kitchen Tips 2

1.To clean wooden cutting boards, once a week rub them with baking soda, then spray on full strength white vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes, then rinse in clear water. It will bubble and froth as these two natural chemicals interact.
2.Too salty: Add cut raw potatoes to soups or vegetables and then discard once they have cooked and absorbed the salt.
3.If you've over-sweetened a dish, add salt.
4.A slice of soft bread placed in the package of hardened brown sugar will soften it again in a couple of hours.
5.A little salt placed in a frying pan will prevent splattering.
6.Vinegar brought to a boil in a new frying pan will prevent foods from sticking.

7.When scalding milk, first rinse the pan in cold water to prevent sticking.
8.To prevent boil-overs, apply a thin coat of cooking oil around the top of the inside of pots.
9.To keep a bowl steady while you mix or whip ingredients, place it on a dampened cloth.
10.To chop or grind nuts fine in a food processor without turning them into nut butter, add 2 or more tablespoons sugar from the recipe.
