Recipes

Cooking Tips

Here are some handy hints that may be useful to you when you cook.

If you are measuring out a dry ingredient, using a tablespoon or teaspoon, put each scoop in a different place in the bowl.  That way, if you get distracted and lose count of how many you already did, a glance into the bowl will tell you how many you've already measured out.  This tip is from my aunt, Karen.


Use a mug for melting butter in the microwave.  Then you have a nice cool handle to hold onto, plus it’s the perfect size for melting up to about 1 stick of butter!  

 

Twist a twisty tie through the hole in the measuring cup and bend over the side of the bowl when setting the cup in the batter so that the measuring cup handle will not fall into the batter.
