Useful Kitchen Tips

I have been reading Bertolli's site this week. So much useful information - so go take a look!
here are some great kitchen tips:







To keep your kitchen towels absorbent, don?t dry them with a dryer sheet. What?s in the sheet that keeps clothes soft will make them less effective. Hang towels to dry instead.Try this trick to remove fish, garlic, onion and other strong cooking odors from your hands: cut a lemon in half and rub over your skin."Whipping cream" and "heavy cream" are nearly the same thing, except some whipping cream contains emulsifiers that help it retain its shape after beating.When filling pots for boiling, use cold water. Hot water can pick up sediments and minerals as it goes through your pipes, which can affect the taste of your food.Cheesecloth is great for bunching herbs and spices for soups, but paper towels are a great stand-in for storage. To keep hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano fresh, wrap them tightly in a paper towel, then in plastic cling wrap.
