TIP TUESDAY

Stuffing stuffed peppers - Hold stuffed peppers upright in a greased muffin tin. 

Easily greasing muffin tins, cookie sheets or cake and bread pans: Use a 1-1/2 inch natural bristle paintbrush dipped in melted margarine or oil to grease muffin tins, cookie sheets or cake and bread pans. It’s much faster than using a skimpy pastry brush. 

When working with dough: don’t flour your hands; coat them with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Flour a cake pan: Use a bit of the dry mix instead of flour. There won’t be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

Glossy pie crust finish: Brush beaten egg whites over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
