Show LYNN SAYS: Hints for Better Cooking Never wash berries until just before be-fore they are used. To keep the juice in strawberries, wash the berries ber-ries before removing hulls. The best way to wash them is to float them in a pan of water and lift out gently. Repeat the process until un-til the water remains clear. Oranges and lemons will squeeze more easily if they are rolled against the table until they are slightly soft. If they are too hard to roll, heat them slightly. To cut hard-cooked eggs readily, use a fine wire or a sharp knife dipped in cold water to prevent the yolk from sticking. To cut meats for salad, use a pair of kitchen shears in place of a knife. You will be able to work much more quickly. Bacon should be placed in the skillet before the unit is heated. Cook slowly, pouring off the fat as it accumulates. To remove pinfeathers from fowl, a pair of tweezers is very satisfactory. |
