Appliances
- Avoid long, uninterrupted use of your blender. Such misuse can
overheat the motor and possibly cause a breakdown.
- Keep the mixing bowl from slipping on the countertop when using
a handheld mixer by putting a rubberised mat or a damp cloth underneath
it.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap over the top of your processor's
bowl before you put on the lid. After processing, you'll discover
that the usually splatter-splashed lid is spotless.
- Dispel offensive odours from your microwave by placing a thick
slice of lemon on a paper towel and microwaving it on high for
about a minute and a half.
Cooking Tips
-
To avoid browning of apples after cutting, apply a little lemon
juice on the cut surface. The apples will stay and look fresh
for a longer time.
-
While boiling milk, always add a little water in the vessel
to avoid milk from sticking to the bottom.
-
You can also leave a spoon in the vessel in which the milk
is being boiled at low heat so that it does not get burnt
at the bottom.
-
Keep coriander leaves in a muslin cloth bag, in the refrigerator.
They will remain fresh for a longer time.
- Add a tablespoon of hot oil to homemade pastes of garlic, ginger
or green chilli, along with salt to make it last longer and
taste fresher.
- Remove the stems of green chillies while storing them. This
will help them stay fresh for long.
- Store raisins in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
They will stay fresh for much longer.
- While using ginger and garlic paste in curries, always use garlic
at 60% ratio and ginger at 40% as ginger is very strong and will
make your dish sharp and pungent.
