Mealtime Preparation Tips
Soft cheeses will grate more easily if cold. Pop them into the freezer for a
few minutes before grating.
Dried herbs and spices should be replaced every 6 to 9 months before they lose
their flavor, but Instead of simply throwing them away, throw a handful on
your coals when grilling for added flavor.
Slip herbs and spices under the skin of poultry before grilling or roasting.
Before eating, you can toss the skin if you like but still keep the flavor.
Peel garlic cloves quickly and easily by placing on a cutting board and
hitting firmly with the flat side of a large knife.
Don't crowd skewers. Leave spaces between pieces of skewered food to allow hot
air to circulate and cook the food evenly.
Throw crushed garlic cloves into the water when boiling potatoes. The potatoes
take on a wonderful garlic flavor which will make your mashed a smash with
everyone.
Bake, broil or grill chicken with the skin on to help seal in moisture, then
simply remove the skin before eating, if you wish.
