Extend and Enhance Ready-Made Bean SaladsAs sold, jars or cans of bean salad are always too sweet for me so I empty the entire contents into a large bowl, tangy seasoned liquid included, and then I drain the liquid from an assortment of other canned, unseasoned beans and add them to the seasoned ones, along with minced fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro - and stir gently but well.

Questions

Removing Moisture from Gatorade MixI am trying to remove the moisture from Gatorade mix that was left open. I have it in the oven on 200.

Since I live in Florida, I do not think that leaving it out, on say paper towels, is a viable option; the humidity is inescapable.
