Handy Hints
- A Pinch of turmeric added to the water or oil in which potatoes are cooked give the potatoes a nice golden brown colour.
- It is often difficult to braai fatty meat because of the flames created by the fat. To prevent this, place lettuce leaves on the coals beneath the meat.
- Rub a grid with half a raw onion to prevent meat from sticking to it.
- To ensure mealies cook soft quickly, only add salt towards the end of the cooking time.
- When baking food or keeping it warm. Place the shiny side of the foil toward the food (to reflect the heat towards the inside). To store food in a cool box, place the shiny side toward the outside (to reflect the heat outwards).
- If you have cooked scrambled eggs for too long and they are dry, stir an extra beaten egg into the scrambled eggs.
- To keep salt dry in humid climates place a few grains of rice in the salt shaker.
- Add a pinch of salt to powdered milk to improve the taste.
- To make 1 cup of milk, mix 4 tablespoons of milk powder with 1 cup of water.
