Tips & Tricks in the Kitchen



Tips and tricks to make cooking and baking easier! I would not consider myself a professional chef by any means but I found these clever tips and tricks so helpful.
To keep brown sugar soft: add a few big marsh mellow in it to soften the sugar.
To slice strawberries at ease: use your egg slicer, which also works great for mushrooms.
How to tell if your eggs are really fresh: place them into 4 inches of water. Eggs that are fresh will sink to the bottom.
How to save large batches of fresh homemade pesto: place the contents into ice cube trays so they are easily accessible.
How to save individual batches of chicken noodle soup: put into muffin tins.
How to keep delicious herbs fresher longer: store them in water to retain the flavor and texture. This herb keeper can be stored easily in your fridge.
