Default Random Cooking Tips

To slice meat into thin slices for better taste try freezing it a
little bit so it becomes much easier to slice.
A roast with the bone still in it will cook faster than a roast
without. That is because the bone holds a lot of the heat making the
inside cook faster.
For a juicier burger add some water to the beef before it goes on the
grill. It won't taste like water but it will bring out more flavor.
Make potato skins or fries crispier by letting the potatoes sit in
cold water for about twenty minutes before cooking.
When making pastries substitute a  4:1 ratio of lard:butter. This
is for a perfect crust.
Avoid mixing salads in metal bowls. Instead go for glass or wooden.
Make your own corn meal mix with a cup of flour, a cup of corn meal,
four teaspoons of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. It can be stored
in a tightly closed container for up to six months.
Double the juice you get out of lemons by heating it in the microwave
for fifteen seconds.
Having trouble getting the garlic cloves off? Place them in the
microwave fore fifteen seconds and watch them slip off.
Keep celery fresher for a longer time by wrapping with tin foil and
keeping it in the refrigerator.
Don't be fooled, fresh eggs have rough and chalky shells while old
eggs have shiny shells.
Prevent bacon from curling by dipping the strips in cold water before
frying.

This one is crap.

Eggshells texture varies with the individual bird. This tip might be
true of citrus fruits however! The smoother and shiner the peel on
citrus fruit, the riper and juicier it is.

Fresh eggs will stand up fairly solid in the pan or bowl when you break
them open. Older eggs will flatten out and that white stuff (Chalaza)
will disappear. The yolks also break far more easily in old eggs.

Maybe Omelet is nicer than you and knows something good when she sees
it, and does not condemn people for trying to show off their hard work.
He makes ZERO income off of that website so does not fit the definition
of SPAM!

IMHO his website is one of the more useful and well organized sites I
have looked at. Have you even bothered to check it out? Or are you too
busy hating people?

Why don't you hate me for having my Picasa albums in my sig?
I make ZERO income off of taking the time to put up galleries and
recipes!

Sounds like you are a sycophant of Bob T. and Bryan maybe?
Be a man and make an informed decision on your own for once.
