Tips-o-galore

 
 
Lemony Snicket:

Do you shove the fresh lemons you just bought into flimsy supermarket plastic bags.? Then finally find them all to have hardened into rocks within a week.? Here's the perfect solution to all your lemony preservation problems. Lemons if stored at room temperature, can last maximum up to a week before they start drying up. To preserve these sour buggers for a longer duration coat them with coconut oil and refrigerate in an open container. Even lemons need to breathe you know!!!!


Glistening Onion Tears:
Onions are a great addition to a dish but cutting them up is the most frustrating job ever. These nasty buggers not only make your hands stink but also end up turning you into a milksop. Many a brave chefs have ended up cutting their digits in the never ending war against the onion. The Solution.?
1. Hold a wooden spoon in your mouth as you chop them. This is one of Grandma's kitchen tricks. It really works like magic.
2. Put the peeled onions in a tub of warm water before you start chopping them. You can then use the same water in your dish if you want to save the essence that was lost in the process.
3.Refrigerate or freeze the onions before chopping. Again this is not a fully effective solution as the cons include the losing of the flavor and essence of the onions. 
 
 
This are the 2 tips for the day. Have a great time cooking.
