Practical Kitchen Tips From A Past Era
In buying fish select bright bulging eyes for tastier bites. Have round and square pot holders to lift hot pies and puddings. Soak linens in cool water to loosen stains before hot suds. Opened canned goods may chill in the fridge briefly with cans covered. Horseradish enhances corned beef and tongue sauces. Slice vegetables small for waxed paper cups and add an ice cube to keep them fresh for snacks.
