Cooking Hints for Better Dishes and Safer Prep
Do not salt cucumbers or eggplant before cooking as it hurts texture. Young rhubarb should be wiped rather than peeled. Tough meat can be nicely stewed in a double boiler but takes longer. Fish with few bones can be filleted by removing backbone with long strips. soles yield good fillets. Dried bread scraps can be reused for crusts or desserts. To prevent sausages bursting, boil in water first then fry to improve flavor.
