7 tips on food
Is the egg boiled or raw?
Have you ever found an egg in a refrigerator and had no idea if it's already boiled or not? Well, there is an easy way to find out! Try spinning the egg around. If the spin is fast - the egg is already boiled. If the spin is slow and holds only for a couple of spins - the egg is raw.
The reason for that is that the raw egg is liquid inside, and this liquid is interfering with the spin.
Peeling a tomato
An easy way to peel a tomato (which you need to do if you're preparing a tomato pasta souce, for example) is cutting a small 'x' on top of it, and putting it in a steaming water. After a minute or two the skin around the 'x' will start peeling off. Take the tomato out, and easily remove the rest of the skin.
Getting more juice out of a lemon
You can get much more juice out of a fresh lemon if you microwave it for 20-25 seconds. Don't cut the lemon before putting it in.
Let it cool for a couple of minutes before squeezing.
Dry the lettuce before cutting for salad
Dry the lettuce before cutting it for a salad. The sauces used for salads are usually oil based, so if the lettuce will be wet, the sauce just won't stick to it. If the lettuce will be dry, on the other hand, the sauce will be better absorbed and the salad will be much tastier.
