CULINARY TIPS BY CHEF YALLERY

Hello all,

Have you ever had a greas stain on a white table cloth that just wont go away!. I can hear you all screaming yes =: () >
Use a little degreaser on the spot - rub it in and saturate the entire spot on table cloth. Do not wet the table cloth put degreaser on dry and place it in the wash with your regular detergent and bleach if needed. It should do the trick.

When cooking pasta do not put the oil in the water while the pasta is boiling. After the pasta is boiled (aldente) strain off water, then add the olive oil to strained water - pasta will stay separated and you would not have have drained away the flavour not to mention you expensive olive oil down the drain. Some people even wash pasta after boiling with cold water or slightly warm water then put the oil. I try not to wash pasta as I find enough flavor and nutrients were lost in the first draining/straining.

On personal clothing lime a sweater - say you have a ketchup stain - as soon as it happens you put some dawn dish washing liquid directly on the affected area and rub it in with a clean white cloth until the stain disappears. Wash cloth and wipe away the suds. It is important that you do this as soon as the stain happens so that it does not set into the fabric.

You are sauteing some type of food on the stove top in a skillet and the skillet catches on fire and the flame is high - get a cookie sheet or large lid that is larger than the skillet and carefully slide lid over the flaming skillet. This action will smother the flame because it cuts off the supply of air which kills the flame. Be careful not to burn yourself. If you do not have a large lid or sheet pan you can fold a bath sheet (large towel) in half and soak it with water and throw it over the flame - this wet towel will smother the flame also.

Hope these hints are of some use to you all.
Peace out....

Chef Yallery.
