Hey! share your cooking and kitchen tips!

My tip? if you want crisp french fries, double fry, fry the first batch and drain all of them, after they are cool, fry them again and you will observe they have less moisture than when you first placed them in the pan ( this is if you do not have a deep fryer) so it''s crispy on the outside but very tasty potato on the inside

good advises friend! i'll take note of them as it would help me out to impress people with my cooking! i do not know if you knew this tip. never to stir the meat or anything when you add vinegar on it. instead let it stand until the vinegar is absorbed by the meat or the vegetable as the vinegar's taste would escape if it is stirred.

1. To help thicken gravy either use cornstarch, flour or you can use the some of the juice from boiled potatoes along with flour. 2. Use a wire whisk when adding flour, etc., to gravy. Whisk very quickly so it does not lump. To prevent it from lumping let the juice cool then add the flour, etc., and whisk together the juice and flour. Then add to the hot juice. Keep stirring.

Thanks for those wonderful tips.Do you have a microwave to make those pancakes.

Crumb coat your cakes for a clean work of cake.

That tip about greasing the measuring cup for molasses is a good one but I would specify using cooking spray for it as it's easier, less messy and less apt to add unwanted fat to your cooking. Also, along the same vein, when I am making granola or something that calls for oil as well as molasses or syrup of any kind, I will measure the oil for the recipe first, that way the cup is already oiled for when I measure the sticky stuff.

After about 45 years of baking...from a kid to a mom to a grand mom...my suggestions are...from personal experience.... Get a free standing mixer ASAP. You will never regret it and it makes baking go so much faster and mixes things so much better than one you have to hold. ALWAYS use parchment paper for cookie baking. Never a burnt bottom and things always come out clean and so much better than being on the metal sheets! Get a set of stainless steel measuring cups and spoons. THey last forever and no plastic cuts to hold "flavors" and just a clean neat measurement. Always use light colored cookie sheets, not the dark ones. Dark ones absorb more heat and burn things faster. The lighter ones don't. Then use parhment paper on them..perfect cookies every time! I would have had so many good baking days, had I had these things. I cringe at how many cookies I had to toss because of the sheets! These things are my favorites and will always be in my kitchen from now on. PUt them on your wedding registry, your baby registery, your birthday registery and your christmas list!

hi there pepai123456, with reference to your main topic discussion, well, it is indeed timely to discuss those things, as the shows being aired over on television here at my end is all about cooking.

nice tip, Pepai.. I like cooking very much and I can cook some delicious foods..LOL..but I don't have many tips to share. I don't even have tips in cooking. I just cook the ingredients and don't notice to the tip. I like cooking on my own may and I like to have my own recipe. LOL. but I have one cooking tip. it's a traditional tip ow to soften meat. please wrap meat with papaya leaf for about one or two hours before you cok it. some people in my place do this tip if they cook meat. I never tried this tip before cos I don't like meat but they said it works. Another tip is please let frying pan being heated for a while before you pour the cooking oil. it avoids frying pan to be sticky..:)

Wow! My husband would love the pancakes more with this idea you've shared here. Thanks a lot.

nice discussion.. my cooking tip come here: you may use boiled potato, cornflour or bread crumbs in your cutlets to prevent them from breaking. These three ingredients are good binding agents.

Loved the one about the egg whites. Grandmother had told me about the other one. We like to add in sausage in place of beef into our spaghetti. Another can of chopped tomatoes or fresh ones then add together. MMMM!

Wow this is a good discussion here I wanna share my tips. When you fry try not to over crowd your pan, if you put to much in a small pan the food will end up greasy. And try wearing glasses when chopping onions this really helps.
