Cooking Tips: Miscellaneous

CLEAN PANS 

Add a tsp of vinegar to the water in an aluminium saucepan when steaming, to prevent discoloration of the pan.

BAKING POWDER
Baking powder consists of 2 parts of soda bicarbonate mixed with 1 part cream of tartar.

SOAP SAVER
Punch holes in the lid of a small tin. 

Throw odds and end of soap in this, swirl it around in water when you want soapy water washing up.

ORGANISED SHOPPING
Keep your shopping list posted on the refrigerator so that you can add items to it as and when you discover that they are little in supply.
