kitchen Tips

*Peel Ginger with a Spoon
Ginger can be tricky to peel with all its bumps and irregularities.Rather than using a paring knife
or vegetable peeler, reach for thespoon. Scrape it against the skinand it'll come right off, following every contour and minimizing waste.


 *Keep a Small Strainer for Citrus
 I keep a small handled-strainer in my tool
 crock next to the stove so that I can quickly
 cut a lemon or lime in half and squeeze it directly
 through the strainer into the pot. Much easier than
 picking out seeds afterwards! Oh, and you do keep a
 crock full of common tools by the stovetop, don't you?
