Best of everything to you, living off grid, a labor of love fir the earth which no one will really ever show appreciation for how you live off grid, saving resources for all those who've learnt to live so wastefully. I live in a camper, saving what resources i can, at 64, we can learn new things, so I'm trying to at least do my part. I recently found out, ALL the recycling I've done, i found a newspaper blurb, i can't really call it an article, it was stuck on a page similar to a legal notice. Like this is your warning, if we find glass in your recyling any more, you WILL be fined. It was a really crazy thing to read, as if someone had a rant, and like social media, HAD to get that "post" in the newspaper. That was last summer, I moved from that area and no longer worry about fines, but without any guidance from those who operate the recycling programs, including US in your decisions will help us work with you!!!

To remove the entire core of a pepper, seeds and all, just PUSH the stem inside the pepper without releasing it - this detaches the core - then pull out and discard. No knife needed.
@ReadTheShrill2 жыл бұрын
To core a red or green pepper even more easily: hold the pepper with both hands, with your fingertips together on the bottom of the pepper, and your thumbs on top of the pepper. Use your thumbs to push the core into the pepper. I used to work at a pizza place, and cored thousands of peppers this way - it's MUCH faster than the 4-cut method.
@PhilLesh692 жыл бұрын
I worked at a Bob's big boy in high school and a pizza shop in college. For cutting onions, we would slice off the top and bottom then drop them into a food grade five gallon bucket of ice water for ten minutes before chopping/slicing and grating them. For cabbage and lettuce, we would core them by holding each head with both hands so the stem faced straight down, then smashed it really hard into the stainless steel countertop. Then you can twist the stem and pull out the entire core. Speeds things up to know that trick when slicing several boxes of lettuce or cabbage on the deli slicer.

I don't know if this is a proper kitchen hack or not, but to use just part of the onion and not the entire thing, cut what you need from the stem end. If you leave the roots attached to the rest, it will stay fresh in a closed container. Same with bell peppers, leave the seed part inside if you just need part of the pepper for now and keep it in an airtight container.

Problem with the avocado stem hint is that you only want to do that if you think the avocado is ripe. If it is ripe, it will be a nice green, like the inside of a ripe avocado. If it is OVER-RIPE, it will be brown. But please don't go into a store and flip the stems off all the avocados, because the unripe ones will not ripen after the stem is lost. My store often has almost all the stems missing on unripe avocados - a real waste.
@islandercirce22 жыл бұрын
The skin colour very much depends on the variety of avocado. Some need to go dark (almost brown) before they are ripe. That's often those varieties with a thicker, knobbly skin. The ones that are ripe when till bright green frequently have very smooth, thin skins.

#2 is wrong, went to avocado farm, and one thing they mention is do not remove eye, it will only let in oxygen that in turn reacts with the fruit and turn it brown. instead, they suggested you very Gently squeeze the avacado and if it gives slightly it's ripe. you can place unripe avacado's in Brown paper bag and leave on the counter a day or 2 to ripen. and never put avacado's in the refrigerator if unripe as they will never ripen in the refrigerator.

Weird. Once my avocadoes are ripe they don't keep long. They go bad even in the fridge. You might have a different temperature in yours. Mine is set on 3 but I can't keep fruits or vegetables higher than the lower shelf or they freeze
@salliedesid97564 жыл бұрын
Tanya Lmno the lowest shelf in a fridge is a bit colder than shelves above as cold air "drops " downward. I too refrigerate my avocado after I've cut it & it does well for a few days. Also pour a little lemon juice (or as much as U like) on it. I score it first so it penetrates. The lemon prevents the avo from turning brown.

If people remove the end stem from the avocado, they ruin it for the next person who goes to buy it. Please don't damage fruit or vegetables and then not buy them. If it's not quite ripe after you remove the stem, then I believe that you have bought it and should pay for the item as it's then damaged goods. Put it in the paper bag then into a drawe. This also works for tomatoes if you buy them at different stages of ripeness as we don't always want to use them all at once. I've used this method and confirm that it works.

The best way to peel an orange is with a teaspoon. Trust me, it's the only way I will do it.
@jbeargrr7 жыл бұрын
I love the one with the orange. I think you have it backwards on the potatoes/apples. Ethylene gas makes produce ripen. It will cause potatoes to sprout faster. The word is "voilà", not "walla". Look it up. I might bake eggs when baking something else, but not alone. I can bring the water to a boil in just a few minutes, cover the pan, turn off the heat, wait 7 minutes and have perfect eggs, vs. having the oven on for half an hour, wasting energy/fuel. Your strawberry yogurts were peach, which is fine, you can use any flavor. But nice one with the orange.

Posted about the baked eggs too…the ones I did were tough ..cooked thru alright but ..tough and a bit dry. As for egg hard cooked in water…a cleaning lady at the plant where my husband and she were then employed to.d him to bring the eggs in water slowly up to temp …hot…then boil gentle for exactly 8 minutes,,then drain and plunge into cold water. Just right in the tenderness of the white egg and no green around the yolk. Almost the same as your recipe but I found the eggs I did that way…with diminishing heat to be too soft. I think our own climate may have a lot to do with how long to cook eggs in water ….that is our basic altitude level. The 8 minutes worked ..almost perfectly in our Midwestern altitude. If you happen to get some extra large or extra small eggs too…they’re going to end in different stages. Also,,we leave them in the shell and set out the night before to achieve room temp …and never put cold eggs in hot water…she’ll shock usually causes the eggs to pop open a bit …enough to ruin hard cooked eggs in the shell…as the inside seeps out ….P.S.Yes ripening fruit gives off ethylene gas that’s the what I use to ripen greedy tomatoes….put in a box,,may use newspaper or paper towel layer on the bottom in case…set one or two apples in and arrange the un ripe tomatoes around them. When full in one layer,,close the top with the original,flaps or if torn off…Wong it with some other cardboard or even a browning rack with newspapers or a towel over the top. Set in an out of the way place and check on then once every day as they can ripen quickly. And some may have bruises show up that were seen before…and those can go bad quickly. If one or so do go bad,,lift out and any that have dripping on them..wash with a little plain water or a little vinegar water in a bowl. Then let them dry thoroughly., put an additional layer of paper towel or newspaper over the wet spot and got back to business. I think an old cookbook also said to not store onions near potatoes or fruit for the same reason.

Commercially purchased eggs are likely 3 to 6 months old already. So eh No. 3 is far more than 3 weeks old. (A distant family member has an egg farm. They would last 3 - 6 months WITHOUT refrigeration (at most a child room).
@w1975b2 жыл бұрын
@Linni Martin yes, considering the industrial process that most eggs go through, they are NOT 3 to 6 months old by the time they get to store. They've been washed and protective coating removed from shell. That's why they're always found in refrigerated section of stores, otherwise they'd go bad. edit - eggs are likely only weeks old by time they get to stores, not months

Try this and you'll NEVER reheat pizza any other way: use s non-stick skillet on top of the stove, put heat on med-high, and place pizza crust down, and put a lid on the skillet. The skillet crisps the crust, and the trapped heat melts cheese and heats toppings! AMAZINGLY BETTER THAN STRAIGHT FROM THE PIZZA SHOP!
