Hello! Every week, I will post 3-5 cooking tips. Here are this weeks!
- To create an egg wash, whisk together a large egg with one tablespoon of water until smooth. Use as a glue to seal pastries, then brush on top for a glossy appearance.
- Peel tomatoes with ease! Cut an X in the top, and then simmer in a pot of hot water for 15 to 30 seconds. Cool down and the skin will fall right off.
- After handling garlic, rub your fingers on stainless steel, like your sink, to get rid of the odor.
- When poaching an egg, add a teaspoon of white vinegar to simmering water to help keep the yolk from breaking.
- If your recipe calls for buttermilk, you can use regular milk with lemon juice.
I hope you enjoyed!
