314-578-7872 Expert tips provider As your cooking
prowess grows, you will learn to appreciate the
versatility of stocks and broths. Rather than
buying these useful ingredients at the store or
wasting your time cooking them in small batches,
prepare stocks in large quantities. You can store
surplus stock in plastic bags in your freezer,
ready for quick use in future recipes.   Burgers
cooked on the grill are delicious however, many
times they stick to your grill. To avoid this
possibility, you can apply a light coat of
vegetable oil to the grill before cooking.   Some
recipes call for peeled half or quarter peaches.
In most cases peeling is not easy, as the skin
sticks to the fruit and doesn't come off. The
easiest way to remedy the problem is to place the
peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds. After
removing the fruits, place them into ice water to
stop the boiling effect. Their skin will come off
easily.   When you are roasting meat, you should
save the juice left in the pan. You can use this
juice for making a rich gravy to accompany your
meal. When you are done cooking, put the juice in
a pan with spices and add flour to it. Stir until
thick and you have gravy.   Cooking for large
quantities of people at breakfast time can be a
pain if you do not have enough eggs. Adding bread
crumbs to the scrambled eggs can help to stretch
them and feed more people. If you use seasoned
bread crumbs, then it will also add to the
overall flavor.

Pour off the grease from your browned hamburger
before you add the rest of the ingredients. Your
health will thank you for this small step and the
meal is likely to taste much better without the
unneeded fat. Keep an empty can or other
container on your stove top expressly for that
purpose. When you are making mashed potatoes,
you need to be extra careful and make sure not to
whip them for too long. While it might seem that
mixing them for longer would make them smoother,
it actually has an opposite effect. Doing so
actually makes them come out gummy in
texture.   314-578-7872 Expert tips provider
Explore creativity when you cook. Following a
recipe word for word and teaspoon for teaspoon is
not always what cooking is about. When you're
comfortable with the recipe, play within it to
see what can be reduced, increased, or added for
a better taste or texture. The ability to think
creatively shows the heart of a real cook.   When
you are cooking vegetables that are green you
need to make sure that you never put a lid on
them. When you do that it causes your vegetables
to lose all of the green color. You will end up
with a pot full of vegetables that have turned
brown.   If you envy the straightness of
restaurant bacon, here's an easy tip that will
help you get the same effect. Simply dip each
slice of bacon into cold water before you place
it in the frying pan. This keeps the bacon strips
from becoming curly and gives a straighter edge.

Freeze some ice tea and other cold drinks up in
ice cube trays. You can use the frozen drink
cubes as ice on those particularly hot days. That
way, your drink won't be diluted by the quickly
melting ice cubes. It makes for a nice change,
not having to run back and forth to the
refrigerator, just to top off your drink
glass.   Cooking made easier! Make soup stock in
large quantities and put them in freezer safe
containers to freeze for next time you need
stock. This takes a lot of the work out of making
homemade soup! Some people even think broth and
sauce tastes better, after it is
frozen.   314-578-7872 Expert tips provider. Now
