Kookery Kinks
Fish may be scaled more quickly if dipped in boiling water for a moment.
Do not wash meats in water, wipe them with a wet cloth.
The whites of eggs will whip more readily if a pinch of salt is added to them. If the eggs are placed in cold water for a time before being broken, they will whip easily.
A small quantity of soda, stirred into milk or cream, will keep it from souring in hot weather.
A few drops of lemon juice added to the water in which potatoes are boiled will prevent the potatoes turning dark when cooked.
In mixing liquids with salads, add the liquid to the salad by degrees. They will blend more readily.
