  • To make quick garlic butter, squeeze a clove of garlic through a garlic press with a small amount of butter for perfect garlic butter for some quick toast or to season veggies, fish, chicken or whatever! FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Add a cup of water to the bottom of a broiling pan to absorb grease and smoke. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Grill or pan fry (in a sprayed, nonstick skillet), many boneless/skinless chicken breasts. Season them with seasoned salt and garlic powder. Cool and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Place wrapped chicken breasts in a large zip lock bag and keep in the freezer. These are great for a quick Caesar salad, barbecue chicken salad (warmed in microwave with some lowfat barbecue sauce), or chopped for a cold chicken salad.

  • To hull strawberries, use a sturdy plastic straw. Push it up through the bottom of the strawberry and through the top. It does a great job quickly and neatly. The berries look excellent if you want to leave them whole. Betty Boop, Caldwell, ID new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • If you rip fresh basil, rather than cutting it, you'll avoid the edges turning dark and unattractive. Lou from Southern California new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Dried fruit will chop easier if you put it in the freezer for about an hour before cutting. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Kitchen tongs will save time, ingredients and mess when breading foods. Your fingers need never be coated in breading or batter again! FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Do potatoes fly all over the kitchen when you mash them? You can avoid this mess by cutting the potatoes into small pieces before cooking. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Save bacon fat in the fridge. Use the bacon grease to baste roasting chickens or turkeys. To add additional flavor when frying, add it to potatoes when mashing. While it may not be the healthiest practice in the world, bacon fat does pack a powerful flavor punch, and as Emeril says Pork fat rules! Peter, Queens, NY new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
