Mike
Carruthers:
You
spend a lot of time cooking around the holidays and by the time
you're ready to sit down and eat, your hands can smell like garlic,
onions or whatever you've been cooking.
Jack Bishop:
And I've tried all of those tips: lemon, salt to get
rid of them - the one that works the best..mouthwash.
Jack Bishop,
Editorial Director for America's Test Kitchen and one of the
authors of 834
Kitchen Quick Tips…
Keep a bottle
of inexpensive mouthwash underneath the sink and after you've
been working with garlic especially or with onions, take out
a cupful and wash your hands with mouthwash - it is the best
way to get rid of stinky hands.
Another holiday
kitchen problem - baking utensils…
Sifters, baking
pans and you know no matter how well you try to dry those things,
often you don't get them perfectly dry and they start to rust.
So, what we do in the test kitchen is after we shake them dry,
we put them in a cool oven (200, 250 degrees) or an oven that
you've just turned off and let them dry that way. And the oven
heat…five minutes will completely dry them out and there won't
be any moisture left that can cause rust.
And what can
you use to keep the mashed potatoes or other side dishes warm
while you're getting everyone to the table?
Your slow cooker
- it is great for mashed potatoes, creamed corn, any of the
slightly liquidy side dishes will stay warm for hours on a slow
cooker set to low.
