Kitchen Tips 101

I will be adding to this section frequently. If you have any tips for our viewers that would make life in the kitchen more fun, not to mention easier, please feel free to let us know.


  • Accident in the microwave? Need a fast and easy way to clean it up? Using a cup or bowl, fill half full of water and microwave on high for 2 min. or until boiling. Leave microwave closed for 5 minutes. Then, remove container of water. All the particles inside have been steamed off for easy removal. Now, wipe the inside of your microwave clean.
  • Having trouble removing refried beans or cranberry sauce from the can? Simply open the top with your can opener. Then, remove the lid and turn the can over in the pan or bowl you will be using. Use the can opener to make a small hole on the bottom of the can. The contents will slide out easily.
  • When using oranges in desserts or salads removing the white membrane can sometimes be a problem. Just soak the oranges in boiling water for five minutes before you peel them.
  • Dipping bananas or apples in lemon juice right after they are peeled keeps them from turning dark and the tangy lemon taste adds to the flavor.
  • Try putting a layer of miniature marshmallows in the bottom of a pumpkin pie and then add the filling. The marshmallows will come to the top and make a tastey addition to your pie.
