- When serving fresh fruit, brush a little lemon juice on sliced apples and pears to avoid browning.
- When measuring flour, spoon it into your measuring cu and level it of with the flat side of your knife.
- When a recipe calls for eggs. always use large size, unless otherwise noted.
- Always crack eggs into a small bowl before adding to other ingredients, to avoid any shell droppings.
- For great flavor and texture, always use butter if the recipe calls for it (margarine can contain a lot of water).
- Never substitute baking powder for baking soda and vice versa, although both help your batter rise they can give different results.
- Always Preheat the oven 10 to 15 before placing food in oven.
- Never Preheat a cookie sheet, hot cookie sheets may cause batter to spread.
Great tips for the apple slices! I feel bad when good fruit goes to waste. Thanks for the tip!
these are great tips and good reminders.
Have a great day, Karren
Thank you for the tips! I shall keep those in mind whenever I use the kitchen :)
Thanks for the helpful tips! :)
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of using lemon juice to stop browning…must have been living under a rock. >.>
I liked first and last tip. Fruit browning is a big problem.
You can use a smidge of lemon to stop potatoes from browning, too, if you need to cut them up before you cook them!
Thank you for the tips. What would happen if you used anything other than large eggs in a recipe? What would the outcome be?
My mother used to always say most of the tips you have are common sense. I never had common sense, and yes to this day need to be reminded of some of these things!
I have done this mistake of exchanging baking powder and baking soda. My dough smelled bad with my wrong experiment. It developed bitter taste instead of fluffiness.
These are great tips. I tweeted this post! :)
