Kitchen Tips #7

April 4th, 2009 · 13 Comments · Kitchen/Cooking Tips

1. Freeze leftover vegetables in a container to use in a soups or sauces. Once the container is full blend them in food processor or blender with just enough broth or water to keep them from turning into a ball.

2. Pour beef drippings in a ziploc bag or ice cube trays and freeze. They make perfect beef stock.

3. Freeze steak, roast, ham and chicken bones to use as flavoring for soup.

4. Pour a few drops of lemon juice into the pot while your cooking rice and your rice will not lose its brilliant white color. This is great for times when your trying to impress your company.

5. Cottage cheese lasts longer turned upside down in the refrigerator.

Great ideas, the whiteness of cottage cheese…why does that work?

The veggie idea…thats one I would actually do.

When my daughter was little I got fresh veggies and put them in the blender, then froze them in ice cube trays. Had a great female ped. who suggested it.

Great tips.
