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.
