Tip of the Day

To mix up brownie mix batter, add an easy flavoring, such as instant coffee powder, ground cinnamon or peppermint or almond extract.

Tip of the Day

Remove steaks from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before cooking. They'll cook faster and more evenly if they warm to room temperature first.

Tip of the Day

To cut calories, decorate your salads with hard-cooked egg whites and walnuts instead of croutons and cheese.

Tip of the Day

Don't sauté using butter; use olive or canola oil instead. These are healthier because they contain monounsaturated instead of saturated fats.

Tip of the Day

Cooked pasta loses quality when frozen. For best results, undercook and freeze in a sauce, then thaw overnight in your refrigerator before heating.

Tip of the Day

If you're making breaded chicken, give it time to develop a crust and don't poke or flip it.

Tip of the Day

For tender meat, always slice it with (instead of against) the grain.

Tip of the Day

Don't overcrowd the pan. Food releases moisture when it's cooked, so if you don't leave room for steam to escape, your food will be soggy.

Tip of the Day

For accurate measurements, lightly spoon flour (or any other ingredient) into dry measuring cups and level with a knife.

Tip of the Day

When melting chocolate, heat gently and slowly to avoid grains and create a smooth, creamy consistency.
