These cleaning, cooking tips and general kitchen hacks for
today will go a long way in helping anyone in the kitchen, amateur cook or
professional.
1. Cutting yams
To cut really hard yams, make an incision on the yam, place
the knife deep in the cut (as you would normally do) and roll the yam on the
ground while keeping the knife firmly in one place.
2. Peeling oranges
Isn't it frustrating trying to get that perfect peel and it
just wouldn't budge? Try rolling, lightly, the orange on a plain surface to
make your orange come off smoothly.
3. Boiling water
An old wives tale says that the best way to stop boiling
water from spilling is placing a wooden spoon over the pot.
4. Cutting onions
There are many ways to cut onions without crying but one of
the common ones is to soak the onions in water for several minutes before
cutting it.
5. Mixing swallow
Hand batter can be used to mix garri, amala, semo, not only
cake batter. No need to stress yourself using the turning stick.
6. Moin Moin
Make your moin moin look even more inviting by placing it in
a container and baking it.
7. Ripening bananas
To ripen bananas (or plantains) quicker, keep them in the
oven for 30 minutes at 300 degrees.
8. Peeling Ginger
Use a spoon to peel your ginger, this will minimise waste
and it's also faster.
9. Preserving eggs
Rub egg shells with vegetable oil before refrigerating as
the oil will keep the eggs fresh for an additional 3 to 4 weeks.
10. Cooking jollof rice
For jollof rice not to stick together, ‘reduce the flame to
the lowest, cover it with foil and allow it steam. Don’t overcook your rice.'
This is according to Chef Fregz.
