Tips: Cooking and Food Prep Tips

  • Be like an assembly line. If you are going to do a task more than once do it all at the same time if possible. This is especially helpful in prepping ingredients like onions or garlic that might be used in a few different recipes. Martin the Grouch new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • For brown bag lunches, use frozen bread. By the time you're ready to eat it, the bread is moist and delicious. Andie B., Seattle, WA new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Because most recipes call for salt and pepper you can save time by keeping a shaker filled with both. A ratio of 3/4 salt to 1/4 pepper is standard, but adjust to suit your personal tastes (I personally think that's too much salt). FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

  • Hollowed out turnips and bell peppers make great bowls for serving dip at parties. Best of all, no dishes to wash when it's over! FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • To save pot watching and burning of the bottom of the pots when making spaghetti sauce, place your sauce in an oven safe dish and place in the oven -- no higher than 300 degrees. It can be left to cook slowly for hours without burning -- just stir every now and then. The Danbury Clan, Trenton, NJ new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
