Sometimes we really enjoy our time in the kitchen, but what we will lie to ourselves about – on weekdays, preparing food is usually a game of time, and every minute is expensive. Our quick tips will come in in case…
2 Do you need to beat the cream out of softened butter, but forgot to take it out of the fridge? To accelerate the softening of the butter, cut it into small pieces so that the softening takes place evenly. Or put the pieces of butter on a plate, which we put on a pot with boiling water just turned off. Leave the plate in place for a few seconds, then try to process the butter with a spatula. If it's still stiff, we'll return the plate for a little longer over a pot of warm water.
3 Does washing the gentle side of the grater bother you, especially since you've grated cheese with it for the whole family before? Next time before you start, rub the grater with a weak layer of oil.
4 Are you surprised by the unexpectedly announced visit and need to prepare dessert quickly? Last-minute eggs taken out of the fridge get the right temperature when we put them in a hot water bowl for 1 to 2 minutes. Don't be delayed waiting for the melted butter to get cold. In advance, put a cold bowl in the fridge to pour it into.
5 Potatoes cooked in peel are a great side dish, but that peeling! What we're going to lie to each other is a. When we add half a teaspoon of oil to the cooking water, the peel will go down much easier and faster.
7 Hmm, almonds… A favorite delicacy can also trouble when cooking. But we know how to do them! Peel the almonds in one or two when you give them a temperature shock: first you burn them with hot water and then pour them over cold.
8 Salt the pasta or rice water only when it is cooked. You save time and money – salt water has a higher boiling point and takes longer to boil.
9 Use brute force on the iceberg lettuce! Hold it down with a broom and slam it the line several times – the broom will loosen, and you can use the leaves on the garnish or tear into the salad without lengthy cutting.
10Yeso your family protests against the stones in the cherry drum? Blasting cherries is a slave – unless you know this trick with the office staple that enthused us on the Internet – watch the video.
