The internal temp should read 165 degrees, and the juices should run clear. This recipe is a fantastic way to cook your veggies and meat in one! #kitchentips
Is that milk past its 'sell by' date? Drink it anyway.

This is probably one of my biggest pet peeves in the industry and I hope on Food Recovery Lobby Day on Apr 4, 2016 we address this issue.

DietID_TeamDietitians i think people just need to learn how to smell milk - e.g. get to know their food a bit more.

annefood Yes this is so ridiculous. @unconventionalbaker @JenniferEmilson and I were talking about this last week, and I suggested that there either needs to be a federal regulation as this article...

JenniferEmilson Sell by dates and Best by dates are purely for the retailer's benefit. Common sense needs to be taught as well. I was intrigued by this conversation last week. And like @rachna said, Use your nose....

Gwendolyn Yes! Works great. #kitchentips

JenniferEmilson Another easy way: get oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle water all over the outside of baguette or loaf and put directly into oven. The steam will crunch up the outside, and warmly soften and fluff up...

Change up your risotto game: Switch out arborio rice for toasted buckwheat! Asparagus Buckwheat Risotto on the blog

"Buckwheat. It’s not wheat. It’s not even a grain. Would you believe, it is actually related to rhubarb and sorrel? It is, in fact, a fruit seed and is a suitable substitute for gr…"

DietID_TeamDietitians Ok never knew that buckwheat isn't a grain!! #kitchentips
I also make risotto with Farro... But buckwheat sounds much better! -
JenniferEmilson Farro is awesome as well! @rachna
For the love of all that is sacred, ALWAYS toss your pasta in its sauce before serving!
Hesperides Organica Coop
Cook your pasta to "al dente," remove from boiling water and throw directly into sauce. Keep sauce on simmer and toss your pasta, marrying the two heavenly ingredients. It will continue to slightly...

DietID_TeamDietitians Great #kitchentip! @sfoglini as pasta experts, do you agree?
-
unconventionalbaker Cool tip 👍🏻

tinabeans More chef tips plz Chef Flo kthx 🦄 😁
Store nuts in the freezer!
Their high fat content causes them to spoil easily, and freezing them keeps them fresh. Just use/eat them straight out of the freezer! #kitchentips
-
JenniferEmilson I keep all nuts as well as certain flours in the freezer- makes such a difference!!
-
annefood Agreed!!
Add some zip to your vinaigrette with spices!
I used ground cumin in this shallot vinaigrette with lemon juice, white wine vinegar and mustard. It's a great way to add more flavor to a simple green salad. #kitchentips
-
tinabeans Brilliant! Cumin goes well with anything :P
Learning how to poach eggs! Anyone have tips?
Made a speedy breakfast with @akhilg2002 of mushrooms topped with poached eggs and homegrown basil (yes the basil is still alive!). Not perfect, but these eggs turned out better than before. I trie...
-
JenniferEmilson Yes- while you are waiting for your water to boil, and then drop to a moderate summer, crack your egg onto a small sieve (like you light use for tea) set over a cup. Let it drain all the loose bits...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Oh wow I was stirring like crazy! I'll try this next time. Thanks!
-
marynfulton2 Add a little vinegar to your water! It helps the egg stay together as well 😊
Make sure your fridge isn't overpacked to ensure your food stays cold.
An overfilled fridge prevents air from circulating properly. It's the perfect excuse to use all of the goodies that might be hiding in the back! #nofoodwaste #kitchentips
-
unconventionalbaker Good tip! I once had to call in a technician because my fridge was leaking, and the problem was just that it was so packed some things were blocking a vent :s so I can vouch for this one 👍🏻
-
annefood Oh no @unconventionalbaker ! Glad it was an easy fix!!
This changes everything.

Gwendolyn That makes so much sense! They say the most potent onions actually have more cancer-fighting properties, so I'm glad to know of a solution for the tearful chop!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Stellar #kitchentip! I also heard if you leave the faucet running while chopping onions, your eyes won't tear. This may be an old wive's tale, but it seems to work for me. Anyone have other tips...

jodavis @rachna I love that one. I've tried chewing gum but I still cry! Would love to know others.
