Mushrooms should be wiped off with a damp cloth and not washed under the faucet since they are like sponges and will absorb the water.
If your soups and sauces are too thin or watery, try adding a few instant potato flakes as a thickener.
Save bacon drippings and use to season vegetables, eggs, soups and sauces. They add meat flavor.
Unless the
recipe calls for a specific size, assume that all eggs used in recipes are
Grade A large. Using medium or extra-large eggs could throw a recipe off.
Real vanilla
flavoring is only necessary if what you are making is vanilla flavored such as
vanilla ice cream. Otherwise, imitation is fine and less expensive!
If you
accidentally put too much salt into your dish, you can re-balance the saltiness
by adding chopped potatoes, tomatoes, or even a teaspoon of sugar. This will
help bring the saltiness back down to a normal level.
