Tips and Tricks to Simplify Your Life
Autumn Tips
Leaves fall, the air cools, and thoughts turn to the harvest, comfort foods, and more time enjoyed in the kitchen. Co-op staff share some of their favorite tips for the season.
COMPOUND HERB BUTTERS
BRINING MEATS
SOAKING DRIED BEANS
Use Butter Wrappers to Grease Baking Sheets
Use empty paper butter wrappers to grease baking pans for cookies, brownies, and cakes.
Use Parchment Paper for Baking
Using parchment paper for nearly all baking will make cleanup and life easier. Foods won’t stick, leaks will be contained, and the paper can be re-used for wrapping leftovers.
Measure Syrup & Honey Without a Mess
When using honey or syrup in a recipe, measure oil first, then the sticky stuff, and it won’t be so sticky. If your recipe doesn’t call for oil, use a spray oil or oil mister to lightly coat the measuring cup.
