Cooking and baking can cause frustration when you run into problems in the kitchen. These tips will help you get cooking and out of the kitchen faster. Use a turkey baster when forming pancakes, you end up with equal sized pancakes and a lot less mess, every time! If you need to chill dough for a recipe, make a ball, press it into a circle and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Then put it in the freezer. This does two things; starting from a circle will make rolling out the dough easier and using the freezer instead of the refrigerator cuts chilling time by three quarters.
Use a new powder puff for a nice even dusting of flour when you're rolling out cookie dough. To test whether or not your baking powder is fresh, put a half a teaspoon in a bowl and pour a quarter cup of hot water over it. It should bubble; if it doesn't you need a new can. Soak your measuring spoons or cups in hot water if the recipe calls for a sticky liquid like honey or corn syrup. The ingredient will slide right out! If you're making a cake, use some dry mix to coat the pan. You won't end up with a white coating on the outside of the cake when it's done. Kitchen solutions with a kick! It's just that simple!
