Helpful Kitchen Tips

I found a list of helpful kitchen tips on a website I came across the other day. Here are a few I found most interesting:

*To stop your plastic containers from staining spray the container first with a nonstick cooking spray.
*Coat your measuring spoons with cooking spray to keep your ingredients from sticking.
*To remove burned food easily from your skillet, add a drop or two of dish soap with enough water to cover the bottom of pan, bring to a boil and then clean.
*A root of the onion lasts longer, so when saving part of the onion for another use keep the root attached.
To prevent messy boil-overs on your stove, apply a thin coat of cooking oil around the top of the inside of your pot.

I hope these tips will help all of us with the dreaded clean up after preparing a fabolus meal!!
