Not sure if this belongs in this forum, but this is something I have been thinking about lately.
What are your favorite food/cooking tips? This isn't something you would find in a cookbook necessarily. Granted, these may not be new to you, but I was kind of thrilled to discover these.
Mine are:
1)Scallions - I found out that if you cut off the white parts with the roots and put them in a glass of water, they will re-grow!
2)Evaporated milk - I never really knew what to do with it until I had a recipe that called for it. I wish I knew about it sooner. All it contains is shelf stable milk with water removed from it, making it cream (or close enough). This is great for recipes that call for cream, so now I always have it on hand (we only drink lowfat milk). And my mashed potatoes are SO much better tasting.
