Cleaning & Safety Tips
- To keep steel wool pads from rusting in
humid climates, store in sealed plastic bag in the freezer after
using. The next time you have to use it, just run it under hot
water and it is "thawed" out and ready to use. The
pads will wear out before they ever rust.- Tip submitted by Bob
Restuccia of Hyannis, Massachusetts USA.
- A squirt of nonstick cooking spray can
ease the drudgery of scrubbing the barbecue grill. Always spray
a on a cold grill.
- Easily remove burnt on food from a skillet
by adding a drop or two of liquid dish soap and enough water
to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on the stove top.
Allow to cool and clean should be a breeze!
- When food boils over in the oven, sprinkle
the burned surface with a little salt. This will stop smoke and
odor and make the spot easier to clean.
- Spray plastic-ware with nonstick cooking
spray before pouring in tomato-based sauces. No more stains!
- To aid in washing dishes, add a tablespoon
of baking soda to your soapy water, it softens hands while cutting
through grease.
- To remove the odor of garlic from hands,
wet hands with water and then rub them with a spoonful of salt
and rinse. Repeat, if needed.
- When stacking non-stick skillets on cupboard
shelves, place a paper plate between each to prevent scratches.
This prolongs the life of the skillet.
- Never put a cover on anything that is
cooked in milk, unless you want to spend time cleaning up the
stove when it boils over!
- After chopping garlic or onions, rub a
fresh lemon wedge over both the knife blade and the cutting board
to help remove the odor.
- For quick wipe-ups of small spills, keep
a box of plain white tissues near the stove and use them instead
of paper towels.
