5 Great Kitchen Tips

5 Great Kitchen Tips

1.  Double the life of a soap filled scouring pad by cutting them in half.

2.  Scouring pads will never rust if you sprinkle a little baking soda in the bottom of the dish in           which they're stored.

3.  The stubborn dirt on the bottom of your electric frying pan will lift off with an application of oven cleaner (allow to sit for several minutes before scrubbing)... OR ... by soaking in a paste made from powdered dish detergent and water.

4.  Dissolve lime scales from kettles and irons with full strength vinegar.  Boil in appliance briefly, then allow to stand overnight.

5.  A burnt stove pan will scrub out with less work if you apply a paste of baking soda and water and allow to sit several hours or overnight.  This also works on stainless steel cooking pots; for aluminum pots use a cream of tartar - and water solution.    Still burned? Fill the pot with hot water add baking soda & vinegar and heat on the stove till it softens.  The burnt food will soften and then magically lift off of the pot.

White Bread (Basic Recipe)

 

 

 

For Whole Wheat Bread:

Use half all purpose white or and half whole wheat flour.  For a 100% whole wheat bread, replace total amount of all white flour with whole wheat. The bread will be very tasty although slightly heavy.  To make a lighter loaf add Vital Wheat Gluten.

What is a Master Mix?

Save time & money with a master mix!!

Before the commercialized store bought Duncan Hines cake & muffin mix, there was the master mix.  A master mix is a basic dry mix for everything.  All you needed to do was conveniently add wet ingredients. 

The mix will make Biscuits,  Pancakes, Waffles, Muffins, Gingerbread, Cookies, & Cakes.

This basic dry mix was first introduced and made popular in 1950's high school economic courses. 

These mixes were popular because they saved you time & money.   The mix was convenient for emergencies.  You never know when the homemaker needed to whip up a coffee cake for the unexpected Bridge game, womans club meeting or unexpected drop in guest after bowling.

The following recipe uses shortening. Shortening  gives the mix an extended shelf life which does not require refrigeration.   I have made the mix with butter and it was successful.  You can store it in the fridge or freezer.

Enjoy and happy baking.
