CRUMBS FOR FREE WITH LEFTOVER BREAD | |
Here is a novel way of getting plenty of breadcrumbs at no extra cost! Collect left over bread slices, shred them and store them in a large bowl. Leave the bowl uncovered in the refrigerator till the shredded pieces become hard and crispy. When you have collected enough grind them to a fine powder. Store in an air-tight container and use them whenever required. |
WHEN YOU DO NOT NEED THE YOLK | |
Often recipes require the use of only the white of an egg, leaving you to decide the fate of the yolk! Here is a simple tip to store unbeaten egg yolk to be used later: Put the yolk in a small cup and cover it with cold water or milk and keep in the refrigerator. Drain off the liquid before using the yolks. |
FREE LEFT OVER YOGURT FROM GETTING SOUR | |
To prevent curd/yogurt from getting extra-sour, pour water over it gently without breaking the curd. Keep the curd immersed in water and throw the water away only before consuming the curd. If it has already turned sour and a yellowish layer has formed on top, remove the layer carefully and gently rinse the curd with water. The sourness will reduce.
