Some Old Time Kitchen Ideas

[prariepoodle]

1. Potatoes soaked in salt water for 20 minutes before baking will bake more rapidly.
2. Bread crumbs added to scrambled eggs will improve the flavor and make larger helpings possible.
3. Soak bacon in cold water for a few minutes before placing in skillet. This will lessen the tendency to shrink and curl.
4. Cut drinking straws into short lengths and insert through slits in pie crusts to prevent juice from running over in the oven and permit steam to escape.
5. If a cracked dish is boiled for 45 minutes in sweet milk, the crack will be so welded together that it will hardly be visible, and will be so strong it will stand the same usage as before.
6. A leaf of lettuce dropped into the pot absorbs the grease from the top of the soup. Remove the lettuce and throw it away as soon as it has served its purpose.
7. If you add a little milk to water in which cauliflower is cooking, the cauliflower will remain attractively white.
8. To preserve left-over egg yolks for future use, place them into a small bowl and add two tablespoons of salad oil. Then put into the refrigerator. The egg yolks will remain soft and fresh.
