- Yogurt may be used in place of sour cream and has much less calories.
- Add a little vinegar to stockpot of water before setting jars in to seal. This helps keep you jars from water stain buildup.
- Add a lump of butter to the water when cooking potatoes and they will not boil over.
- When baking poultry and game, you will have juicier meat and less shrinkage if you use a constant low temperature.
- Before heating milk in a saucepan, rinse the pan with water and it will not scorch so quickly.
