Kitchen Tip Quickies

-Don’t shuck corn. Just put on microwave safe plate, and microwave. When cooked, remove outside shuck and then grasp the corn silks with your fingertips and gently pull. The silks will come off easily. (Margaret). (More tips How To Remove Corn From The Cob).


-When breading chicken pieces, first coat with mayonnaise instead of egg then dredge in crumb coating. Delicious! (Melanie) This is a winner, we like the taste much better then egg!


-Remove the smell of garlic from hands by rubbing your fingers over a stainless steel spoon. I don’t know how it works, but it does! (Jean) I pour about a tablespoon of salt into the palm of my hand and then add a big squirt of dish soap. Then rub hands together as if applying lotion, rub, rub, rub to get every surface. Wash well under running water and sniff....mine seem to be odor free!

-Coat greased loaf pans with a layer of cinnamon sugar then pour in batter for banana bread and top with more cinnamon sugar. A very tasty addition that my kids love! (Barbara)


-Save onion peels for the bbq, toss on the hot coals and they’ll give extra flavor to the food that’s grilling. (Kenneth)
