I just thought I'd pass on a few random cooking tips for you. I have tried all sorts of things to keep my eyes from watering while I am chopping onions up. I finally found the perfect thing! Unfortunately it only works if you have a gas burner...this is almost reason enough to get a gas stove installed....that is just how great this method works!! Put your cutting board right next to a burner that is on high. The flame pulls / sucks the surrounding oxygen towards the flame taking along with it all the tear causing onion fumes! It works every time!
The other tip is one I just read in a cooking magazine the other day. How many times have you toasted up some bread or maybe a bagel then tried to slice rock hard butter to spread on your delicate toast?? Well, if you just use a cheese slicer it is PERFECT! The slicer makes nice thin slices that melt as soon as they hit the hot bread. Where was this tip my whole life?? I have torn many slices of toast trying to spread cold butter. That is all for now...I hope everyone has a good weekend! --Carissa
