Tips: Dessert and Baking Tips

  • Storing a slice of raw apple in with your brown sugar will prevent it from hardening. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • When cooking fresh apples for pies or sauces, the yield is about 50%. 1 pound raw apples equal 1/2 pound cooked. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Empty coffee cans make perfect storage (or transporting) containers for cookies. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Make your own superfine sugar (especially handy for decorating cookies) by whirling granulated sugar in a blender or clean spice/coffee grinder. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • When making drop cookies, make a large batch, form into balls and freeze on cookie sheet. When frozen put into zip lock bags and store in freezer. Later, just remove amount needed from freezer, place on cookie sheets and bake while still frozen. This way you will always have a variety of cookies on hand.

  • Avoid using plastic bowls for whipping egg whites as they can often harbor traces of grease, which will keep the eggs from ever whipping. If you must use plastic, wash extra carefully with a grease dissolving dishwashing liquid first. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • For small, quick piping jobs, when you don't want to dig out the pastry bags, use a small zipper top plastic bag. Fill with icing, remove excess air, seal the top and snip off a tiny bit of one corner. You're now ready to pipe away! FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Before unmolding a gelatin mold, wet the plate. This will allow you to move and center the gelatin easily. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • For fewer scarps and less rolling when making cookies, start cutting on the outside edges and work your way in towards the center. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Storing cookies with a slice of bread will keep them soft, or re-soften those that have already hardened. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
