| Cooking While Your Kitchen is Being Built
|
|
We are building a home and we haven't completed our kitchen. This has been a challenge with the cold weather as I have no oven. My indoor cooking consists of a microwave. You have to be pretty organized to complete a hot meal.

| Cereal Bags for Kitchen Chores
|
|
I save the cereal bag after we empty the box to use for many things like beating or chopping meat. Just put meat into the bag and lay it flat. Use a saucer or small plate to chop it, no mess on you or in the kitchen.

| Easy Hiccup Remedy
|
|
A tip for hiccups is to suck on a pickle onion, then chew it. I find it much better than sugar. Also sugar is great to put on your tongue if you burn it on hot food or drinks.

| Use a Baby Bottle Nipple for Transferring Liquids
|
 This could be recycling, too. When you need to transfer something from a larger bottle to a smaller one, I use an old baby bottle nipple.

| Saving The Bagged Salad
|
|
Prewashed salad fixings are great, except they go bad so quickly due to excess moisture in the bag. To extend your salad greens' life, open the bag once you get home, place a paper towel inside and then close with a bag clip. The paper towel absorbs the extra moisture. This gives salad about an extra week.

| Remove Cardboard Liner From Mayo Jar
|
|
To keep mayo lasting longer and not have an odor, just remove the cardboard liner from the inside of the lid. You won't believe the difference this makes.

| Use A Mini Binder For Organizing Recipes
|
 I try to plan dinners in advance by choosing recipes and listing needed ingredients on a shopping list. The shopping list is always written on a sticky note and attached to a first insert (card stock) of my mini binder (7x4.5 inches) which is always with me in my purse.

| Buying Colored Kitchen Items To Keep Kosher
|
|
For anyone who keeps kosher, figuring out which dishes and utensils to use with which category of food can be difficult. Typically, though, people tend to use red for meat and fowl, blue for dairy, and green or white for "parve" (things that are neither meat nor dairy, including fish, eggs, grains, vegetables, and fruits). I've found lots of appropriately colored plates, utensils, and even cookware by searching online (such as at cookware.com and alljudaica.com).

| Use a Spray Bottle for Cooking Oils
|
|
Don't spend a lot on commercial cooking sprays that can be bad for the environment. Get a small trigger-spray bottle - I got mine for $1 at my local Wal-Mart. Buy regular oil, whatever you prefer. Use a small funnel to fill and refill your small spray bottle from the larger bottle of regular liquid cooking oil.

| Craft: Create Your Personal Food Tags
|
 I just baked 2 lbs. of Classic Sugar Cookies, made a product tag and will attach it to the cookie tin. I took a picture of the cookies and created a tag using a Microsoft Document. I printed the tag on an adhesive mailing label attached it to a piece of thin cardboard, and cut it out using pinking shears.
