Freeze your excess ginger root. When you buy a ginger root for cooking, the chances are you wont use the whole thing in one recipe. Whatever you have left can be frozen. Not only will it keep for a long time, its really easy to shave off a piece with a sharp knife, or grate it when its frozen. Oakley Active Sunglasses
For the moistest banana bread ever, peel and then freeze the bananas slated for the next loaf. Bananas placed in a covered container in the freezer will absorb moisture from the freezing process and that little extra "juice", goes a long way. Not only will your bread be more moist, it will also have a more intense banana flavor. Oakley Frogskins Sunglass
Make banana boats when you are camping! All it takes is a banana, a chocolate bar, and some marshmallows. Dont peel the banana! Slice right through it longways, making sure you leave the far side of the skin to hinge the two sides back together again. Lay in some chocolate and marshmallow and place the whole thing right on the coals.
To get perfectly cooked salmon that is not too dry, remove it from the heat when the fish is opaque and it flakes whenever you press gently with the back of a fork or spoon. Salmon dries out quickly and is easy to overcook; and because it stays pink, color is not an accurate indication of whether or not it is done. Oakley Asian Fit Sunglasses
Dont substitute romaine lettuce when making caesar salad. Romaine has the perfect texture and flavor to stand up to the strong ingredients in a classic caesar dressing, such as garlic, anchovies and parmesan cheese. Select romaine that has dark green outer leaves that curl away from the center. To store, leave the head whole and unwashed in the refrigerator, and tear off leaves as needed.
To keep foods crispy in the oven, use a wire rack on top of your baking sheet. If your oven "fried" chicken strips or other breaded items, tend to come out soggy on the bottom, try placing them on a wire rack in the oven. This allows air to circulate on all sides of the food and to bake evenly for a nice crunch. Oakley Radar Sunglasses
