Tips: Cooking and Food Prep Tips

  • For flouring or breading food it's easier if you put it in a plastic bag with the flour and shake the bag. Quick and clean. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to keep the ice cream from dripping. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Always set your kitchen timer 5 to 10 minutes earlier than what a recipe calls for. You can always leave it in longer, but burning is forever! FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Use a metal pastry cutter to break up ground beef into fine pieces when cooking. Donna Reece, Janesville, WI new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Thaw out frozen seafood - fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish etc. in salted water. Place fish in cool water to cover then add 1/4 cup cooking salt to the water. Fish will thaw out without losing any juices, this way you end up with fish and not fish flavoured cardboard. It is also safer than attempting to thaw fish fillets out on the sinkboard.

  • A high quality hard boiled egg slicer makes easy work of slicing mushrooms for sauces or salads; it will also slice strawberries and peeled kiwi fruits perfectly. Nick, Bowie, MD new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Thaw frozen fish in milk. The milks helps to draw out the frozen taste. Discard the milk before cooking. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Patting beef and steaks with paper toweling before cooking makes for better browning of the meat. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • When making meatloaf instead of using breadcrumbs or oatmeal (like my mom does) I use stuffing mix it gives it great flavor and is just the right filler. Cheri Lee, Fairfield, ME new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • When grilling vegetables or tofu, instead of using a pastry brush to brush on marinade, use a large sprig of rosemary, which will impart additional flavor to your foods. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
