Kitchen Tips from The Kitchn
The Kitchn is one of my favorite food sites, in large part because it often comes up with some pretty nifty hacks. Here are a few that they've posted recently:
- Use your garlic press to juice key limes - I don't have a garlic press anymore. This is mostly because I prefer to handle garlic with a knife than a press, but I also don't like unitaskers. This tip gives a garlic press another purpose. If you can't come up with a couple more for it, I'm disappointed.
- Keep writing utensils in your kitchen - a permanent marker is good for labeling freezer bags. A dry-erase marker (or a permanent marker and a bit of masking tape) is better for reusable leftover containers. A pen and notebook are great for keeping recipe notes.
- How to plump up your raisins - This should also work with other dried fruit.
- Keep add-ins from sinking to the bottom of your baked goods - a simple trick (toss the stuff in flour) to keep your fruit, nuts, or whatever from sinking to the bottom or your muffins or cakes.
