• Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.
• Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef.
• Flour should be sifted once before measuring. Fill the cup without packing.
• Yolk left in the white of the egg when separating? Bread removes yolk - just touch the yolk with a piece of bread and it will take it right out!
• When beating egg whites, do not tap beater on bowl of egg whites. The jarring of the beater will cause the whites to lose their fluffiness. The beater should be tapped on your hand.
• Bake your bacon in the oven on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Bake at 400 degrees, until your perfect crisp. No more grease splatters anywhere. Eliminates 80% of the aroma of bacon in the house. Easy clean up; let grease cool & fold up foil to discard!
• Eggs should be at least three days old before using in cakes.
