HANDY HINTS

1. To save time cooking, organize your kitchen...

A. Keep all like items together...

baking needs, canned by variety, etc.

B. Alphabetize spices. If you are like me

and have dozens of herbs, spices and extracts,

use double turntables, putting spices on one,

herbs on one, extracts and miscellaneous on one.

C. Install a chalkboard on a cabinet door or wall

and jot down items just before you run out.

That way you can purchase replacements

and never run out.

2. To remove onion or garlic odor from your hands,

while washing them, rub them over the faucet or

a stainless steel spoon. (I had to try this one

to believe it!)

3. Use an aluminum tea ball for spices in soups.

4. To completely empty shortening can, pour boiling

water in can. Excess shortening will rise to the top.

Let cool and remove.

5. For do-it-yourself hamburgers or tacos,

put the relishes in muffin tins.
