Hi there!, before you measure peanut Butter, or molasses into a measuring cup, coat the cup with vegetable oil. the peanut butter or molasses will slide right out, making the cup easier to clean! Happy baking!
to prevent your Tupperware from getting stained,(from tomato- based sauces), spray your containers with non-stick cooking spray before adding the food. no more stained containers!
when a recipe calls for "flouring your cake pans", use a bit of your cake mix instead of flour, and ya' won't have that unsitely powder all over your cake!
before making your child an ice cream cone, stuff a miniature marshmellow into the bottom of the cone to prevent drips!(if the cone is already broken a bit, use a few!)
I especially like your tip about spraying the non-stick coating on plastic containers to keep them from staining. My plastic containers got really messed up from spaghetti sauce and the like so I'll give this one a try.
The marshmallow in the ice cream cone is one of the best! The little ones were forever "dripping" all over the car and this one is an absolute must! (Keep a little zip lock bag of them in the glove compartment for those surprise trips to the ice cream shop) !
Just got another invite to subscribe to Cuisine at Home, and readers offer the following tips:
flouring a cake pan - use sugar instead
degreasing hamburger, sausage, etc. - "blot" the grease with a piece of bread while the meat is still in the pan. The bread heel works well
Place a folded towel between your pot and the lid when cooking rice. the towel will absorb the moisture from the steam instead of it condensing back on your rice (thereby preventing soggy rice)
Use rubber gloves instead of jar grippers to open stubborn containers.
