Miscellaneous Cooking Tips

by Maricar on January 29th, 2008

My sister forwarded an email to me that contained these practical tips for cooking and baking:

* Reheat pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza.

* Easy deviled eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.

* Expanding frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.

* Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

* Measuring cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water
Dump out the hot water, but don’t dry cup ext, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
