More Household Tips
SaltIf your soup, casserole or sauce is too salty for your taste, try adding a teaspoon of sugar or dissolve a teaspoon of sugar and vinegar together and mix into your meal. If your creation becomes a little too sweet, a dash of salt will fix the problem.
Sweet Potatoes & YamsDon’t store them in the refrigerator – they last longer if kept at room temperature.
Non-stick Pasta
Try adding a spoonful of cooking oil to the water rather than salt to cook dry pastas. This will help stop sticking and clumping together.
Separating Sausages
Of course, sausages come in pack of 3 or 4. The length of the sausage (the seam) will be joined together. To separate them, pour some warm water along the seam, use a blunt knife to separate the sausages. The sausages you don't use will be wet from the water, hence dry them a bit before putting them back in the freezer.
Tomatoes
Setting them in the sun to ripen will result in soft spots. Place them stem side up, not touching each other and out of direct sunlight.
Herbs
Use a pizza cutter to chop herbs quickly and easily. Roll cutter back and forth until herbs are chopped to the desired fineness.
Salad
When you’re too busy to make a tempting salad for dinner, buy bagged, washed and chopped greens. Put in your own extra’s such as red and green capsicums, sliced onions, mushrooms and carrots.
Tender Chicken
Rub a wedge of lemon over chicken pieces before you cook to produce a juicer and more tender result.
Raw chicken products
Raw chicken products must be thawed first if you did it yourself at home. JCI products are snap frozen which lets you cook them from frozen if you wish. Using whatever recipe you wish, simply cook at a lower temperature for a little longer.
Lemons
Store uncut lemons in a jar of water in the refrigerator. They’ll last longer and stay juicy.
