Kitchen Tips From Everyday Practice
Tea makes a good base for punch. There is nothing so handy in a kitchen as a shelf above the sink for soaps, etc. Glassware takes on the highest polish if dried directly from hot, clean suds without being rinsed. When laundering clothes, don't use too much soap because water becomes so slippery that it slides past instead of penetrating the fabrics. Offensive odors from sinks and drains can be eliminated by a strong borax and hot water solution. Covering uncooked meats in the refrigerator favors bacterial growth. Hard boiled eggs cut neater if the knife is moistened in water.
