more kitchen tips

Warm egg whites.  They'll whip to a greater volume when at room temperature.  Place in microwave-safe bowl.  Microwave on high to remove the chill (2 whites about 15 seconds).

Juice citrus fruit.  Citrus yields more juice when slightly warm.  Microwave on high 20 seconds or until warm to the touch.
                                                                           

helpful hints

Wiping you refrigerator gaskets with vinegar can help eliminate mildew and odor.

Place a bay leaf in flour containers to discourage weevils.

Two tablespoons of vegetable oil in the water in which you're  boiling noodles, rice, macaroni or spaghetti will keep them from sticking.

Out of butter?  Try pouring a little light olive oil onto your rice and mix through.   Not only does it provide a little moisture to the rice but it adds just the right flavor.   And its not as fattening as butter.

Leftover baked potatoes can be reheated if they're dipped in hot water and baked again in a moderate oven.
