    SUMMARY
    - To quickly remove seeds from pumpkins or zucchinis, you can use an ice-cream scoop. Its sharp edge easily scrapes out seeds from veggies.
    - If a dish you’ve cooked turns out to be unexpectedly rich, you can easily remove excess fat using a couple of ice cubes and a paper towel.
    - Cold food wrap behaves better, sticking and tearing less, leading to less of that familiar feeling of exasperation.
    - Add soda or vinegar to the water you boil the eggs in. These substances get inside the shells and make it easier to peel them off.
    - To squeeze the last drops out of a lemon, first cool the fruit in the fridge. And then zap it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
    - The freezer will help you here, too. Put the onions in for 30 minutes before chopping them.
    - When your roast a chicken whole, lay it on its breast. The breast contains most of the meat; the closest it is to the source of heat, the quicker it will cook through.
    - When warming up pizza or other baked items in the microwave, put a cup of water in alongside it.
    - If you freeze herbs in an ice-cube tray, their vitamin content is preserved. Try freezing them in water or olive oil.

    I’ve got news for you. I have cooked with cast iron for almost 30 years. I don’t wash after every use, but I do wash mine. The key is to rinse well, dry throughly, and after a few minutes use a light coat of shortening or oil.

    I have never seen plastic wrap in the walkin of any commercial kitchen I've worked in. We keep it on the counter. Difference between ours and home cooks is that ours is in really large rolls and made of a plastic that actually works. Home cooks get stuck with the junk in the grocery store which doesn't work at all.

  • @TheBusyJane
    @TheBusyJane 7 років тому +144

    I have worked in restaurants for over 10 years. I have never seen anyone keep plastic wrap in the fridge. The trick to plastic wrap is to keep it on the roll, wrap the food in it, then break it off. It sticks to itself, not food. For some reason most people rip it off first and then try to wrangle this thin, staticky sheet over the food.

    When buying meat try to get the meat further back on the self. Be aware that brown meat is often 'saved' from being thrown out because it is sometimes dipped in blood to give it the appearance of fresh meat or they grind off meats with fresh meat. And the stickers on packaging is often changed so to 'extend' the 'self-life'.
    Also the spiced up meats can sometimes be that way so they can mix old meat that should have been thrown out & use sprice & maranaides to hide off orders.
    Some (alot) of bakerys did alot of gross stuff too, like switch the bad fruits but still sell the rest that the fruit rested on or just cut the bad parts of the fruits off, same with cheeses.. Take & cut cakes that haven't sold in half take the old iceing off & put new iceing on an old cake.
    The fish counter is another thing all together.

    You can also put a clear casserole dish on top of your recipe book to keep it open and clean. If your recipe is on your phone or other device, slip in inside a clear zipper bag. You can still use your finger on top of the plastic to control or activate the device. Personally though, I print out recipes and slip them into plastic sheet protectors. That way I can keep them in a binder and pull them out whenever I want, and I can wipe them off if they get dirty.

    Another pro tip for number ten about roasting chicken. This applies to any method of cooking chicken. Take the chicken out of the fridge at least an hour before you cook it so that the outside isn't dried out by the time you get the inside done. This produces a juicy chicken that is also cooked all the way through.

    You really need to try bacon in the microwave. Super good, plus a lot easier to pour and save bacon grease for other dishes. Iron skillets are really heavy and can be hard to manage without making a mess.

    a stainless steel spoon in the mouth will also _help_ with tears when cutting onions. It's not perfect, but it helps. The sulphur ions are electromagnetically attracted to the stainless...This is also why stainless steel will remove onion/garlic/shallot smell from your hands if you rub your hands with it under running water.

  • @Awesomemomy
    @Awesomemomy 5 років тому +5

    I'm using my wooden spoons for many years! Only one smelled after I used it to make pickled garlic ... and even that smell disappeared after 2 days (without cooking)!!
    To make sure you can use them for a long time, you should clean them immediately after use!
    You can also rub them occasionally with a little olive oil ... it's wood, after all!
    And the easiest way to avoid tears when cutting onions, is to use a really sharp knife!

    Use Cascade to clean any greasy kitchen things. Soak pans with it in hot water come back in 5 minutes or so. Enzymes eat the grease and food. Use a watered down version to clean counters and floors of grease.

  • @janegreen3703

      Bill B I've found that if you're using raw onions in a salad, a guacamole, or salsa-chop as you would, then a quick rinse in a colander under the faucet is enough to do the trick.

    • @paulaw418
      @paulaw418 6 років тому

      Robin Conkel-hAnnan you can LIKE the taste of onions WITHOUT wanting to stink up your entire 1st floor with them. By giving them a quick rinse, you get to do both.

    • @robinconkel-hannan6629
      @robinconkel-hannan6629 6 років тому

      Chopping onions by hand spreads the appetizing aroma.. Chopping them in a blender gives them a metalic taste.. Rinsing chopped onions takes away some of the juice and flavor..

    To make the yolks of boiled eggs look brighter and taste better, I use a straight pin to poke a small hole in one end before cooking. This releases sulfur gas. To make it easier to peel boiled eggs, I poke a small hole in both ends. This lets air flow into the space between the shell and each end of the egg.

    When making a flour and water paste for thickening, put flour and water in a plastic container that has a lid. Add 3 or 4 ice cubes. Put lid on and shake vigorously. The ice cubes break up the lumps to make a smooth thickener.

    so basically every food you want to eat use a freezer AND/or microwave. microwave your ice cream and it will be easier to spoon. put ice on your steak to make it taste better. for lemons, take them off the counter, then freeze until solid, then microwave to room temperature. for eggs, forget running water and a spoon. inject bacon ranch dressing and mustard, and put them in the freezer so it develops crystals and doesnt taste right. for cheese, forget using a bowl, freeze it so its harder to grate or cut. basically, everything suggested here makes things harder (literally) and uses the freezer....i paused the video at the end of #7...so lemme guess. the next one involves the freezer.

    Another way #5 works or just how to make/peel the perfect hard boil egg: Boil eggs for 12 mins, immediately drain and replace the boiling water with enough cold water and ice cubes to go over the top of the eggs. Let sit just a min and the shell peels right off... but then, drop the peeled egg back into the cold water, since doing so, will cause any small piece of shell that may still be on the egg to drop off and sink to the bottom of the pan.... The more you know i guess 💫 😂

    as for getting the shell off a boiled egg easier try cracking it against the bottom of the pan, while there's water in it (after its cooked you empty the hot water and fill with cold), the water gets in the cracks and separates the egg from the shell membrane. no need for vinegar or baking soda which you'll probably always forget to use anyway.

    Here’s an actual pro tip. If you are chopping onions use a sharp knife. The sharper a blade is the less you are bruising it and releasing those sulfuric compounds. Not by freezing it. Also warming up baked items properly is by using a toaster oven or putting it in the oven at a low temperature.

    On microwaving something and prevent it from drying out. Instead of putting a cup of water in with the food, soak a couple of paper towels and cover the food with the wet paper towels. By far the best way to keep something moist when microwaving them. In fact, if you bought fast food with fries. Microwave them covered by the wet paper towels. When they are done, they are far softer than when you bought them and taste far better than when they first give them to you.

    If you don't want the pasta water to boil over, put the pasta in the boiling water and wait till it just about wants to boil again. Turn the element off and put the lid on. You only have to stir the pasta once or twice for the ten (or so) minutes. Use a timer so you can do other things while this is happening.

    Sigh. Where do I start? First off, chefs don't store their cling wrap in the fridge. it's on a shelf, the fridge is for food thanks. Vinegar or baking soda in with the eggs does not work. It USED to work but with the hormones given to chickens today to make them produce more eggs, it has done something to the membrane of the egg that causes it to dry out and stick to the egg rather than slide right off with the shell. Put fruit in the microwave? No thanks. I like my fruit room temp thank you. To squeeze the most out of a lemon or lime, just roll in on the counter with your hand pressing firmly. I can go on but, sigh, this is getting too long.

    To heat up fridge cold pizza[without waiting 45 mins for an oven]just put a damp paper towel over it in micro, and zap it about 2 1/2 minutes per slice on power 4. And you dont' have to 'boil' pasta. Boil the water/salt, put in the noods, get to boil again,stir, put on lid and turn off heat, stir after 3 mins, and add two mins to end time. Even works in microwave for single serves.

      If you're making hot tea, cakes, pies, cookies, pretty much anything that's going to be heated up anyway, hot citrus won't hurt you. There won't be any need to put the citrus back into the fridge the point is to use the whole lemon. Anything you're using citrus on, unless its a alcoholic drink, you're cooking anyway or adding something to it. So if you're looking to be "healthy" whether itswarm or not won't matter. Unless its a cold beverage which the new invention of the refrigerator will help you make it cold for you. If warm fruit just grosses you out just because it does then you're just weird.
