Cooking Tips

Desert tips

1. Fudge won't "sugar" if you add a dash of cream of tarter
2. Soften "hard as rock" brown sugar by placing a slice of soft bread in the package and closing tightly. In a couple of hours it will be soft again.
3. To improve an inexpensive cake mix, add one tablespoon of butter to the batter for a richer-tasting cake.
4. If your layer cakes stick to the bottom of their pans, return them to a warm oven briefly. The layers then should come out intact.
5. Never allow chocolate to simmer or com to a boil. Heat until melted and remove promptly.

Main entree tips

1. Tenderize tough meat by rubbing both sides with vinegar and olive oil. Let stand two hours before cooking.
2. Pork chops which are light in color are corn fed.
3. When broiling meats on a rack, place a piece or two of dry bread in the broiler pan to soak up the dripped fat.
4. By rubbing the skin of chicken with mayonnaise before baking, the skin will turn crisp and brown.
5. 1/2 tsp of dry mustard added to a flour mix for frying chicken or pork chops adds great flavor.

Salad tips

1. Always shake oil and vinegar dressing just before using.
2. Adding a small amount of beet vinegar to mayonnaise will give it a pretty color for salads.
3. For crunchy cole slaw, cut cabbage in half and soak in salted water for an hour. Drain well and proceed with recipe.
