Helpful cooking and kitchen stuff I've tracked down on the web. Some are pages, some are videos. Enjoy!
How to...
Tell if an avocado is ripe, without squeezing it. I use this all the time -- it really works!
Butterfly a salmon fillet.
Quick peel an egg. (More humorous than practical.)
Easily peel hazelnuts, in the first two minutes of this video featuring Julia Child. Keep watching to see how to toast them and use to make Hazelnut Biscotti.
Soften butter; methods for with or without a microwave. Read the comments, too.
Clean a cookie sheet (or other baking pans) with baking soda and peroxide.
Grill chicken breasts that are juicy and perfect every time.
Cook boiled eggs to perfect doneness every time: get one of these.
Cook bacon with the least mess possible. (So you can make a bacon weave!)
Pick a perfectly ripe watermelon.
De-seed a pomegranate in under a minute.
Cold-brew coffee concentrate. (Then use it to make coffee panna cotta.)
Prevent cooking oil spills.
Easily transport cupcakes, cakes, and pies without damage. Also includes a nifty way to pack munchies with easy access for a road trip; might require a trip to the liquor store!
And a few prep-ahead secrets from pro chefs.
