Kitchen Tips

Avocado

It’s avocado time here, are you lucky enough to have your own tree? I can’t imagine ever being tired of eating these, but perhaps a glut from a laden tree would change my mind. Hmm, on second thoughts, probably not!
As you probably know, avocados don’t like exposure to air and brown quickly. Through experimentation I’ve found an excellent way to store a cut avocado. Plastic wrap (glad wrap) works ok when storing in the fridge, but the best thing to do is this:
 Cut your avocado in two halves. Use the stoneless piece first, leaving the stone in the other half. Keep the skin of the half that you have dug the flesh out of to use and simply sit it back on top of the half with the stone like a lid, pop it in the fridge and it will keep beautifully!

Kitchen appliances I love

My grandparents gave us this slow cooker which is large enough to feed an army. What a great invention this one is! Cheap cuts of meat are transformed into tender morsels, and it’s totally set and forget – a busy Mum’s dream come true. I’ll be using this constantly over winter.
It took us a while to figure out how most Asians in this part of the world cook their rice so perfectly – rice cookers!  So easy to use, it cooks your rice quickly and perfectly, no more soggy mush!

Kitchen Tips

How many times have you gone to the fridge to use the tomato paste only to find some unwanted fuzzies on top because you haven’t used any for a while? I wasted a lot of tomato paste until I came across this tip:

After opening your jar and using the tomato paste pour a layer of olive oil on top and evenly distribute. Replace the lid. The next time you use the tomato paste there will be a layer of solidified oil that is white, don’t worry – it’s only oil, just use the paste as normal. Do this after each use. Tomato paste lasts for absolutely ages in the fridge using this trick.
