Helpful Hints In The Kitchen

No More Sticking

Have you ever used a recipe where you had to measure shortening and the recipe also called for an egg? Simply break the egg into the measuring cup that you will use for the shortening. Swirl the egg around and then empty the measuring cup. When you pack the shortening into the measuring cup, the shortening will slide right out with no more scraping to get every last bit.

Easy Greasing

Do you ever use a recipe that calls for oil and the baking pan needs to be greased? After measuring and adding the oil to the recipe, use a sandwich bag to wipe the inside of the measuring cup. You then use the residual oil to grease the pan.
