Cooking Definitions and Tips
Cooking Tips:
After stewing a chicken for diced meat for casseroles, etc., let cool in broth before cutting into chunks- it will have twice the flavor.
Potatoes soaked in salt water for 20 minutes before baking will bake more rapidly.
A few drops of lemon juice will whiten boiled potatoes.
Terms used in cooking:
Au Gratin: Topped with crumbs and/or cheese and browned in the oven or under the broiler.
