Kitchen tips

[Guest guest]

Keep bottled lemon or lime juice or strong acidulated water (2tablespoons lemon juice per 1 quart water) in a spray mister inthe refrigerator and spray .. apples, avocados, peaches, andpears, etc., to prevent browningAfter chopping garlic or onions, run a lemon quarter over both theknife blade and the cutting board to remove the odor.To wash white (button) mushrooms, rinse them under cold runningwater, rubbing off the dirt with your hands. Contrary to popularbelief, the mushrooms will not absorb enough water during a briefrinse to become soggy. It is often quicker and less messy to use kitchen scissors whencutting up dried fruits, bread, cake, lettuce, spinach, parsley,watercress, etc. You can also cut right into the bowl and avoiddirtying a cutting board or a knife.XOXOXOXO....CHEF MICHELEYOURAVON.COM/CHEFMICHELE
