Some Good Cooking Tips

Posted on Tuesday, November 6, 2007 at 01:40 in Recipes
Did You Know?

-- Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little "stringy things" off of it. That's how the primates do it.

-- Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

-- Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!

-- Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.

-- Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.

-- To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream and then beat them.

-- For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.

-- Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if you want a stronger taste of garlic.

-- Leftover Snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream.

Didn't know that about the bananas and I love 'em...must be a primate.
I do sour cream in my scrambled eggs, but didn't know about the teaspoon of water when browning hamburger meat, I'll be trying that one!

Who says monkeys are dumb! I didn't know about the peeling bananas thing.

The Andes mints on the brownies sounds yummy! I am going to try that one!

I tried cutting the tip at the bottom off and peeling from the bottom to the top, and lo and behold, there were no strings on the banana. I guess they know what they are talking about.
