Great tips! I didn’t know about fixing cracked dishes, adding vinegar to cracked boiled eggs, or putting green pepper in muffin tins when stuffing… I will be trying them all!
I never heard of the bread crumbs trick - sounds yummy especially if you use seasoned bread crumbs. Here’s a tip: If something is too salty (like a soup) - add a potato and boil. The potato neutralizes or soaks up the salt! I add a potato when boiling ham to get a lot of the sodium out, too, before placing in a baking pan. I don’t know the science behind this, I just think it works.
Cricket the seasoned bread crumbs are the best, and thanks for the tip!
Instead of bread crumbs chop up a tortillia (great way to use up a stale one). I’ve done this for 35 years. I think the flavor would be better too.
Hi! I would like one of my personal kitchen trick.
Keep the used tea bag of yours for cleaning greasy dishes. You’ll notice how quickly the grease comes off with the humble teabag!
Have a great weekend!!1
