Kitchen Tips


How to Keep Potatoes from Sprouting for Weeks ~ Remove the potatoes from the original package and store them in doubled paper grocery bags.  Fold down the top tightly and secure with a couple clothespins.  
 
How to Use Coconut Oil in Recipes for Better Health ~ http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/how-to-use-coconut-oil.htm  Coconut oil also works very well as body moisturizer.  Just rub it in!

Ripening Green Tomatoes Faster ~ Throw them in a brown paper bag with an apple and they will ripen more quickly.  Pears also ripen more quickly when put into a brown paper bag.

Soften Brown Sugar by placing about a quarter of an apple in the bag or canister.

Soup or Stew Too Salty?  Add either potato or apple wedges to absorb the extra salt; then toss out.

Moist Poultry ~ When roasting a whole turkey, turkey breast, or whole chicken, pierce a lemon and stick into the cavity for more moistness.  An apple will also work. 

Keep Celery Fresh Longer ~ Remove celery from bag or wrapper and wrap in aluminum foil.  It will keep about three weeks this way.
