Helpful Hints and Tricks for the Kitchen:
Peeling Garlic: Press on the top of the garlic clove with the flat part of your knife. When you hear the "pop", the skin should now peel effortlessly back. Another trick is to microwave for 10 seconds before peeling.
Storing ginger root: Any unused portion of fresh ginger root can be stored in a ziplock bag in the freezer. When a recipe calls for it, just remove from the freezer, and grate! Simple as that!
Measuring sticky substances: Ever have trouble getting peanut butter/molasses/honey out of a measuring cup? Dip your measuring utensil in canola oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray before using!
Jucier Lemons: Microwave for 15 seconds to produce more juice for squeezing.
Frozen Graps: In the summer, I like to use frozen grapes in my white wine to keep things nice and cold. Plus, it looks cooler than ice cubes and wont water your wine down!!
