List of Ingredients




Juice fewer lemons; get more juice: Microwave lemons or limes on high for 30 seconds, then roll them on the counter to burst the juice cells; slice and juice. If you don't have a microwave, warm the citrus fruits briefly in a low oven--or at least bring them to room temperature.
-----------------------------------------------------------

To keep dried fruit, marshmallows and other sticky foods from sticking to your knife blade: Dip the blade in cold water or spray it with nonstick spray.
-----------------------------------------------------------

To keep your hands from getting sticky when shaping meatball or other sticky foods (Rice Krispie treats, eg), moisten hands with cool water.
-----------------------------------------------------------

To open tight lids on jars more easily: Slip on a rubber dishwashing glove; in a pinch, try slipping a thick rubber band around the perimeter of the lid.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Store plastic wrap in the refrigerator: Cold plastic wrap will not stick to itself when unrolled.
-----------------------------------------------------------

To peel tomatoes and peaches quickly and easily: Drop them in boiling water for 20 seconds, then into a bowl of ice water. The skins will slip right off. You can make this even easier by making a small X cut into the bottom of the fruit; the skin around the cut will pull away from the fruit in the water.
-----------------------------------------------------------

To bread chicken cutlets and other ingredients: Use one hand for wet ingredients and another for dry when breading--that way you won't bread your hands along with dinner.
-----------------------------------------------------------

To keep your cutting board from slipping: Place a thin layer of damp paper towels underneath to anchor the board to the work surface.
-----------------------------------------------------------

To anchor mixing bowls: Twist a damp dish towel and wrap it tightly around the base, or, place a dry dishtowel over the mouth of a saucepan, and place the mixing bowl securely on top --either way, you can whisk and pour simultaneously!
-----------------------------------------------------------

To chop garlic: Smash the clove with the flat edge of the knife blade or with a metal bench scraper and remove the peel; if you have to peel a lot of cloves, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds; the skin will slip off easily without smashing the clove first.
-----------------------------------------------------------

To weight ingredients like salted eggplant or cucumbers (to remove excess liquid): Fill a self-sealing freezer bag with water and lay in directly on top of the ingredient. It applies more even and flexible weight in a colander and is easier to work with than cans.
