Minny has earned a Queen's Crown for earning 5 Cooking Tips Awards!
Here are her award-winning tips:
When browning hamburger, brown a whole pkg and
freeze the rest in freezer bags after it cools. Next time
you need meat for a meal, take out as many bags as
you need, pop it in a pan & add sauce, gravy, etc.
Pickles are fairly easy to make: use the smaller
cucumbers for whole pickles & slice the bigger
ones. Pack the pickles in a jar. Make the store
bought pickle mix really hot & pour over the
cucumber slices in the jar, seal & leave them
set.
When I make cookies, I always put a slice of
plain bread in the bottom of the container that
I'm storing them in. This keeps the cookies soft.
When I use Shake & Bake, I usually do 2 or 3
pieces of meat. I don't need all of the coating mix.
I pour some out on a paper plate & what I have left,
I put in a resealable baggie & put it back in the box.
I get two meals from one package of coating mix.
When baking cakes, line your cake pan with waxed
paper, spray it with cooking spray & bake. When
done, turn it out on a cooling rack & peel the waxed
paper off immediately. You don't have a messy cake
pan to wash.
