    List of Ingredients




    If soup tastes too salty, add a few pieces of potato to absorb the salty flavor.


    A lettuce leaf placed in hot soup will remove excess grease.

    To give icings a glossy finish, dip knife or spatula in hot water while spreading.


    Egg stains can generally be removed by rubbing a bit of salt into the spot.


    To keep eggs from breaking during boiling, puncture the large end of the egg with a needle.


    To make chicken more juicy and tender, rub inside and out with lemon juice before cooking.


    Breaded meats will cook up more successfully if they are prepared and refrigerated for about 5 hours before frying.


    A slice of bread placed in the bottom of a broiler pan will absorb grease, prevent smoking and make your pan easier to clean.


    To keep rice and pasta from boiling over, coat the inside of the pot (about 2 inches in depth) with oil.

    A little cold water added to any hamburger mixture (meatballs, meatloaf, etc.) will tenderize the meat.
