Want crispy skin, but hate making a mess when cooking fish on the stove?
Preheat the oven with a sheet pan inside, and add your fish filets skin-side down on the already hot sheet pan. The skin will crisp up without coating your kitchen in oil splatter. #kitchentips
Wrap the stems of bananas to make them last longer.
This prevents the ethylene gas produced by the stems from ripening the rest of the fruit too quickly. Want to slow it even more? Wrap each banana stem individually. #kitchentips

unconventionalbaker Interesting. Though admittedly they don't last long around here 😄
To roast a chicken, cook for 25 minutes at 450, then turn down to 400 for another hour.

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

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

For the love of all that is sacred, ALWAYS toss your pasta in its sauce before serving!
Hesperides Organica Coop

DietID_TeamDietitians Great #kitchentip! @sfoglini as pasta experts, do you agree?

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 😊
