useful cooking tips

Extend Veggie Freshness

Line the bottom of your refrigerator's crisper drawer with paper towels. They'll absorb the excess moisture that causes veggies to rot.

Keep Champagne Bubbly

Don't throw away sparkling wine or champagne that's gone flat. Restore the bubbles by dropping a raisin or two into the bottle. The natural sugars will work magic

Make Mushrooms Slime-Free

Prevent mushrooms from getting slimy by wrapping them in paper towels before refrigerating.

Don't Let Cheese Dry Out

Stop cheese from drying out by spreading butter or margarine on the cut sides to seal in moisture. This is most effective with hard cheeses sealed in wax

Prevent Bacteria Growth on Dairy

Another dairy tip: In order to make cottage cheese or sour cream last longer, place the container upside down in the fridge. Inverting the tub creates a vacuum that inhibits the growth of bacteria that causes food to spoil.

Prevent Bananas From Browning

Rap them in a papper and place it on a fridge , it wont get brown

Retain Moisture in Pasta

Prevent extra cooked pasta from hardening by stashing it in a sealed plastic bag and refrigerating. When you're ready to serve, throw the pasta in boiling water for a few seconds to heat and restore moisture

Make Soup Less Salty

There's nothing more frustrating than over-salting a soup or stew you've spent countless hours—and countless prices in ingredients—making. Try adding wedges of raw potato or onion unfleshed or flour dough to absorb the salt. Simmer for 10 minutes or so, then remove the wedges. If your soup is still too salty, sprinkle in a spoonful of sugar. If that doesn't work, a dash of apple-cider vinegar may do the trick. Finally, try diluting with water 

Regenerate Burnt Dish

If you burn your dish while heating it on the stove, add lots of green chillies to temper the scorched smell and taste.

Ripen Fruit Quickly

To ripen fruit overnight, place it in a paper bag with an apple. Apples release ethylene gas that hastens the maturing process of other fruits.
