*Daily Tips*
Don't waste your food! Leftover food can be made into another yummy dish! On my later posts, I will share with you some recipes that you can make out of leftover food!
When cutting a loaf of bread/baguette, use a very sharp knife or a bread knife (the one which looks abit like a saw) or else your bread will go all squashed up :oS
A short loaf of baguette can make around 20 slices. It all depends on how thick you cut the slices. The thinner the faster they get toasted and crispier.
Don't throw away the squeezed lemons. Dump them in your washing liquid container and they might help get rid of those oily grine when you do the dishes. Plus the citrus smells good!
When crushing biscuits or crackers, put them in a Zipbag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Mess free!
Put your washed vegetables into Zipbags and in the fridge. For those working people, you'll have ready-to-cook vegetables in a second!
A MUST HAVE in the kitchen: Sesame oil! To really enhance those dishes, you can add some sesame oil to your steamed chicken or fish or even stir fried vege.
Ok, This may not be a cooking tip but all in all it is a tip and i assume it can help *hehe*. To clear up that garlic breath after a lunch or dinner, you can take a few pieces of dark chocolate (only dark and not the sweet, guilty pleasure types! hehe) and not worry your date will run away.
To check if your cake or muffin is ready, use a skewer or a Satay stick to poke through the middle of your cake/muffin and it should come out clean.
Want your fritters or tempura to be EXTRA CRUNCHY? Make sure your batter is ice-cold at all times! (See Episode 125's Recipe for method)
For easy removal of stains on your Kitchen/Cooking Apron, use those plastic types and not the Cotton Fabric ones. But Cotton types can be washed.
It is a Cooking Crime to use Olive Oil for your Chinese dishes!
You need to peel (use a kitchen peeler) the outermost layer of the skin before you cook your Asparagus unless they are young Asparagus.
To prevent food borne bacteria growth, do not defrost frozen meat at room temperature, always wash your hands before and after touching raw meat and properly wash and sanitize all utensils and objects that have come in contact with raw meat.
Ate something too spicy? Take something sweet after that. The sweetness will neautralise the spicyness effect on your tastebuds.
For a healthier choice, use Corn or Sunflower Oil to cook your dishes! Vegetable based oil are less fattening!
To prevent butter from getting burnt in your pan, place a little bit of oil beforehand!
Use your hand as a strainer when juicing out those lime or lemon into your dishes!
Got a bruise? Wrap a hard boiled egg (still hot/warm) in a cloth or small towel and massage over bruise. It will definitely break out the clumped veins you knocked!
Eggs can be whisked into a fluffier texture if they are in room temperature. So avoid using the ones from the fridge.
