Kitchen Must Haves--"Tips"
Feb 16 '00
I've learned a few of these kitchen tips from years of experience in the kitchen. I've listed a few here to make your time in the kitchen a little easier.
Broken raw egg on Counter or floor: Sprinkle the egg heavily with table salt. Wait 5 minutes or so, and it can be picked up easily with a dust pan or take a paper towel and slide it off onto the dust pan.
Stainless Steel sink Water Spots: If you have dried water spots in your sink, put a few drops of baby oil or mineral oil on a sponge and rub on the spots. Water spots will then disappear.
Sink Fixtures water spots: Put a little rubbing alcohol on a tissue and buff the spots.
Counter Top Stains: Scrub rust or other stains with a paste of Baking Soda, rinse and buff dry. Baking Soda is a gentle scouring powder that will remove many types of stains.
Tomato Stains in Plastic Containers: Try rubbing the container with Baking Soda on a sponge, rinse well and dry. To avoid getting stains, always rinse the container with cold water (not Hot Water) before washing the container out.
Garbage Disposal Odor: Drop citrus peels into the disposal, grind them up and rinse, Your whole room will smell nice.
Coffee or Tea stains in cups: Drop a denture tablet into the stained cup. Let it sit a minute or two. Then wash and rinse. Toss a few tablets in to you bathroom commode and it will fizz away mineral deposits also.
Removing Bundt Cake fro Pan: Grease the pan and sprinkle it with sugar instead of flour and it will slide out easily. If your making a chocolate cake grease the pan and sprinkle with cocoa instead of flour, this will avoid a white film on your cake.
Boil Over and Spatters: To avoid these from boiling potatoes, pasta, and sauces, grease the inside of the pot about one inch down on the inside. The boiled food will stay contained and will control it self.
Oven spills: Sprinkle salt on a spilling in the oven. This will let you finish your baking, and the salt will have turned to ash. The spill will be easy to clean up after baking.
Frying: When you are frying certain foods such as eggs, the eggs won't stick to your spatula if you spray it with a nonstick spray while you are spraying the pan.
I hope some of these tips will make your day in the kitchen some what easier.
