If you're looking for ways to speed up in the kitchen and get things done faster, I've got some great tips for you! I found these over a decade ago in the Women's Day magazine and have enjoyed using them.
- Fill a large shaker-top spice jar with confectioner's sugar for dusting cakes or with flour for dusting greased baking pans.
- Bring eggs to room temperature quickly by putting them in a bowl of warm, not hot, water for 5-10 minutes.
- For a pretty flower design on sugar cookies press the bottom of an empty plastic thread spool {label removed}.
- Rinse {don't bother peeling} garlic cloves if you're removing them after cooking.
- Remove fat from stews and soups by chilling them with a plastic wrap covering the surface. The fat will harden and come off when you lift off the wrap.
- It's easier to separate egg yolks from whites when the eggs are cold.
- For nicely shaped, same-size meatballs, use a 1 1/2 inch spring-action scooper.
- To soften butter quickly, cut in pieces, put it on a plate and cover with a metal bowl that's been rinsed with hot water.
- Slip your hand into a plastic sandwich bag before pressing a buttery cookie-crumb or graham-cracker crust into a pie plate.
