Another way to get the parchment to stay on the baking sheet is simply to lay it down curly side _down._ Oil the inside of the grater as well. Otherwise, the cheese will stick there. No metal utensils with a non-stick pan! You'll damage the coating! Vinegar will work as well as lemon juice to clean that oven. Put the onion in the fridge for 1 hour before chopping to cut down on the gas that makes your eyes water. After chopping onions, rub your hands on anything made of stainless steel. The steel neutralizes the odor. No need to waste a lemon. (I rub mine on the side of my sink.)

These are all fantastic tips!🥳✨

Great tips! From my grandma: When steeping black tea bags (she used 2 small ones), add a pinch of ginger powder, a small pinch of cloves, and a double pinch of cinnamon. Strain and add equal amount of water for iced tea. (My addition: contain those spices in a piece of muslin so you don't have to strain it.) You hardly notice the spice flavor, but it really enhances the tea flavor.

Yes, my mother and grandmother from England the bag in your vacuum get a cotton ball and put any essential oils on the cotton ball and every time you turn the vacuum on the whole room smells wonderful and I told people with pets, eucalyptus oil on the cotton ball and it kills fleas. Then when my bag isn't full I go outside and pull the dust out of the bag,reuse with a different oil if you want and about 4 times I start a new one, and the lint in the dryer I vacuum it out while the dryer is almost stopped,no dust.

Wonderful ideas! Here is one for the team: if cooking something in a pot that tends to leave a stuck on residue at the liquid level, lightly coat the inside sides of the pot with a nonstick spray or light oil. It helps to make cleanup so much easier. As always, ❤ your artful videos and commentary!

I am a grandma. This video was best yet. A little wrinkle to burger from frozen...leave greaseproof paper on especially in grilling machine. Saves a lot of cleaning. I use kitchen towels in vegitable box..much better to absorbed moisture and straight into compost bin with rancid veg when cleaning out fridge. I learned something surprising today. I didn't know you could use only one attachment to mixer for small mixes like a small amount of cream or an egg in a glass ?😊

[@WebspoonWorld]

They really know their way around the kitchen. 😊❤️

[@shariwynne9210]

These were great. Two things to note: do not use utensil spoons for measuring, you should use actual measuring spoons meant for the purpose. The amount in a dinner tablespoon is not the same as a measuring spoon. As well, that hamburger was not cooked. It's dangerous to eat uncooked ground beef (or pork or chicken), especially when cooking from frozen. When there is pink inside, or pink liquid coming out of the meat, it is not cooked.

[@WebspoonWorld]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@shariwynne9210]

@@WebspoonWorld I loved the trick with the eggs and will do this from now on.

[@sg-vp2qg]

Two things; in some countries burgers are cooked to be virtually raw in the middle (at every restaurant where I or a companion have ordered a burger in France, for example) - delicious and we don't get sick, and in Germany last year I had raw beef with raw egg and raw onions on rye bread at a restaurant:. It was phenomenal and I was fine after. My German grandma used to make this when I was a child (in America). I have often made it and I love it. I am not advocating for you to eat this in America, I am just saying that some places they eat the beef extremely rare in the middle or raw. And the other thing, I have different sized large spoons and some hold 1 tablespoon, but they are all close. I have found that anything I have measured using a large spoon instead of rummaging for the round tablespoon has been fine. Measurements often don't have to be that exact anyway. A baker.

[@Chelle778]

Here's one from my Italian mom - may not be a new one for you: when scrambled eggs stick to your pot, don't waste time scrubbing, just wash in coldest water possible and they come right off.

[@WebspoonWorld]

That's a fantastic tip!❤️

[@roseanneroseannadanna9651]

So like use an ice cube? That's the coldest water possible!

[@dennis1954]

My first job was dishwasher at a Chinese restaurant. I fought washing a pot that had rice sticking to the bottom with hot water. After shown to just put in cold water and let it sit for a while, it was easy to scrape the bottom to remove the rice. I do the same with eggs too.

One of the best applications for parchment paper is putting it over the grinder when rubbing lemon skin. You don't lose a whole third in the grinder as otherwise, and also easily remove the desired material from the paper.

Thanks some of those are hacks from my dad by the way but I always said great minds think alike...😊 You could use oil on the knife you know olive oil or whatever oil you're going to cook with you put a little bit on the knife and then cut the potatoes they'll slide right off too.

That waffle potato with the sour cream mixture looked divine. I'll have to try that, along with many of the other hints I saw. Thank you!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

1. Do not store potatoes and onions together. The onions will cause the potatoes to rot. 2. Never use cold water to bring the water level up in a pot of hot cooking dried beans. The cold water will bust the beans and they will never cook soft enough to eat. Only add boiling water to hot cooking dried beans.

[@WebspoonWorld]

Do you not still have to wash the mallet? After all it has chicken bits on the prongs? If so you have to wash it anyway so what's the point of the parchment?

[@slc1161]

For smelly hands, rub them on a stainless steel sink. Odors from onion or garlic say goodbye. And if you don’t want your red onions so strong, like when using them raw. Soak them in a bowl of milk for 5-30 minutes. It makes them much more palatable. Rinse with cool water when done.

Also frying it from Frozen will save you on putting any oil in your frying pan the moisture from the freezing part of your Patty I'm not explaining this very well but I think you get the idea we'll add enough moisture so it won't stick to the pan eventually the fat itself from your burger will keep it from continuing to you know stick.

Great potato patties. Boil potatoes and adding salt and pepper put potatoes through a potato ricer. Using a modern smash burger ring at the preparation table, put riced potato into the ring, and then use the smash press handle, smash down the potato rice into a potato patty. Remove and place between parchment paper. Store in ziplock or plastic container in fridge for fresh patties, or freezer for later use. Use individual or multiple patties in the cooking pan - all salted and peppered.
