But, do you find skinning and seeding pumpkin a real chore? You&#8217;re not alone.

There are so <a href=\"https:\/\/countryroadsmagazine.com\/cuisine\/recipes\/100-ways-to-fix-an-egg\/#page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">many ways to serve them<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooking tip for hard-cooked eggs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can perfectly peel hard-cooked eggs by adding a pinch of baking soda to the cooking water and then run them under cold water after cooking to help release the shell from the cooked egg white. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: <strong>Slightly older eggs<\/strong> are easier to peel than really fresh ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peeling hard-cooked eggs hack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, so you&#8217;ve already boiled the eggs without using the trick above. And&#8230;they won&#8217;t peel! Bits of the white are coming off and you&#8217;re creating craters on the egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to rescue your remaining eggs. Crack the egg and immerse in a bowl of water for a few minutes to allow the water to seep under the shell. This should result in the shell coming away easily from the egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s another way (providing they are still hot). Peel them while they&#8217;re still hot in a sink of cold water. Crack the shell then roll the egg gently between your palms so it cracks all over. It should come away easy peasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beating egg yolks trick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For perfect results, rinse the bowl you intend beating the egg yolks in with cold water beforehand. This will make sure the egg yolk mixture slides out without sticking wastefully to the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poaching eggs tip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For perfectly shaped poached eggs, gently stir the near-boiling water with a spoon and then drop the egg into the circular well of water formed by the stirring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"countheads2 wp-block-heading\" id=\"onions\">Onions without the tears<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Onions can have us in tears. On cutting an onion, it releases an enzyme that irritates our eyes (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/419685a\" target=\"_blank\">Imai et al, 2002<\/a>). So&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to peel and slice onions without the tears? <strong>Cut onions without crying by freezing the onions first. Try 30 minutes in the freezer or if not, try sitting onions in the refrigerator or on ice. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u261e Another option is to place the onions in a sink or large container and then cover them with boiling water. Allow to cool, and you can then remove the skins without tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: this is not recommended if you intend to use the onions fresh in salads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if I want to use the <strong>onions fresh<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u261e Here&#8217;s the trick if you intend <strong>using the onions fresh<\/strong>, e.g. in salads. Run cold water over your wrists &#8212; weird, but it does work to stop the tears. I can tell you I&#8217;ve tried and tested this method on buckets of onions and it does work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise you can always try these suggestions I&#8217;ve also seen or heard from others&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u261e Wear swimming or ski goggles when cutting the onions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u261e Hold a large piece of bread in your mouth to absorb the onion compounds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To lessen the effect, make sure to use <a href=\"https:\/\/ceramiccookwarehub.com\/products\/ceramic-knife-picks\/\" data-type=\"products\" data-id=\"41747\">a sharp knife<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"countheads2 wp-block-heading\" id=\"cheese\">Grating cheese without the gunk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can grate cheese more easily if you freeze the cheese for half an hour beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u261e Use a <strong>vegetable peeler<\/strong> rather than a grater if using cheese as a garnish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do end up with gunk in the grater holes, you can clean the grater easily by running a cut lemon (cut-side) over the grater and then rinse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"countheads2 wp-block-heading\" id=\"potatoes\">Peeling a ton of potatoes fast <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t want to spend time peeling potatoes? <strong>Here&#8217;s an idea: Use a <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ceramiccookwarehub.com\/best-ceramic-knife-reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>sharp knife<\/strong><\/a><strong> to cut the surface of the potato around the middle (encircling the potato) and then boil the potatoes whole in a pan with the skin on. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u261e When the potatoes are cooked, run the potatoes under cold water and then you can easily slide the skins off.

Then gently squeeze out the seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"countheads2 wp-block-heading\" id=\"garlic\">Tricks for peeling garlic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No more fiddling with the papery garlic skin to remove it. Here are four easy ways to tackle that garlic to remove the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Boil enough water to cover the garlic cloves. Let garlic sit in the boiled water for 10 seconds. The skin should just slip off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Squash the garlic clove with the side of a large heavy knife. The skin will detach and be easy to remove.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Microwave cooking tip<\/strong>:  Microwave the garlic clove for 10-15 second. The skin will slide off easily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Use a garlic press to crush the clove. The skin will be easy to remove.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#index\">Scroll back to index<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My practical cooking hacks and tips don&#8217;t stop there. Here are tips for the kitchen cook when baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"countheads2 wp-block-heading\" id=\"egg-whites\">Separating out egg whites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you accidentally get some yolk mixed in with the white of an egg, try removing it by touching it with the corner of a clean cloth. Moisten the cloth in cold water first. You&#8217;ll find the yolk sticks to the cloth but the white doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"countheads2 wp-block-heading\">Curling baking paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"countheads\">To stop that parchment paper curling up or moving when baking, wipe your <a href=\"https:\/\/ceramiccookwarehub.com\/best-bakeware\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5137\">bakeware<\/a> with a damp cloth before placing the baking paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"countheads2 wp-block-heading\">Measuring sticky syrups and honey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid the sticky syrup adhering to the measuring spoon when you&#8217;re trying to add it as an ingredient, run the spoon under hot water first. The syrup should glide off much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"countheads2 wp-block-heading\">Sitting tomatoes or peppers upright<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re wanting to do stuffed tomatoes or pepper in the oven, here&#8217;s a cooking trick. Place them upright in large-holed muffin pans so they&#8217;ll stay neat in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"countheads2 wp-block-heading\" id=\"butter\">Softening butter <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can soften butter with a glass. Here&#8217;s how&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Heat a microwave-proof glass with water in the microwave. Throw out the water and place the glass over the stick of butter for a few minutes.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The warmth from the glass will make the butter soft. Alternatively, you can heat water on the stovetop in a pot and then use the heated pot in the same fashion. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-box-blue\">Tip: You can use a ceramic bowl or pot to do this also. <a href=\"https:\/\/ceramiccookwarehub.com\/is-ceramic-microwave-safe\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"22460\">Ceramic pots can be used in the microwave<\/a> or on the <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">stovetop<\/g>.

A tablespoon in a recipe from Australia equals 4 teaspoons (20 ml) while the American tablespoon is 3 teaspoons (15 ml).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With measuring cups, in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, a cup (250 ml) is larger than the American version (1\/2 pint or 240 ml).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See also <a href=\"https:\/\/ceramiccookwarehub.com\/free-cooking-conversion-chart\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"29639\">my free to download kitchen conversion chart<\/a> and you might like to refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/ceramiccookwarehub.com\/glossary-of-cookery-terms\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6859\">my A-Z of cookery terms<\/a> to make life in the kitchen easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#index\">Scroll back to index<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"countheads2 wp-block-heading\" id=\"pomegranate\">Cutting a pomegranate  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a first-timer with pomegranates, you might not know the best way to enjoy that delicious fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u261e How to cut a pomegranate? <strong>First, use your paring knife, cutting at an angle, to remove the remnants of the flower at the top of the fruit. <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep gr-progress\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">Next<\/g>, score the sides and pull the fruit apart.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more detail, you can find a good step by step with photos <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instructables.com\/id\/How-to-Cut-a-Pomegranate\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"countheads2 wp-block-heading\" id=\"fat\">Removing excess fat <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remove excess fat from cooked food with ice cubes wrapped in a paper towel.
