Fun & Useful Kitchen Hints
Interview
with Chris Kimball & Editors Of Cook's Illustrated
Magazine author of The
Best Light Recipe

Mike
Carruthers:
Who couldn't use some tips for saving time and preventing messes
in the kitchen? For instance, stabilizing bowls when you're mixing
things in them.
Chris
Kimball:
One thing people find, if you take a kitchen towel and wet
it, and just make a little turban out of it and then put the bowl
into the turban that stabilizes it. That's a particularly good
trick with kids because the bowl is not going to tip over.
Chris Kimball
publisher of Cooks Illustrated Magazine and editor of the new
book The
Best Light Recipe.
Another very
good tip when you're spraying a baking sheet or baking pan,
just open the dishwasher door and then put the pan on the open,
inside surface area of the door and spray it there. Then when
some of the spray obviously doesn't get in the pan, but misses
it, it's just on the inside of the dishwasher door, which obviously
gets washed off when you run the dishwasher.
If you ever serve
hors d'ouvres or cheese skewered with toothpicks, you know that
causes problems.
What do you do
with the toothpicks? Sometimes people impale themselves with
the toothpick. Just use little cheese straws or pretzels or
other things as a toothpick. So you pick it up with the pretzel
and thenyou can eat the pretzel. It's edible. Sometimes we find
cutting things with dental floss, things like cinnamon rolls
or cheese or other things, seems works well. Spraying a cheese
grater with like a basic canola oil spray then when you go to
grate something like mozzarella cheese, it won't stick.
