Kitchen Hacks Part 2

Here are some more kitchen hacks you wish you’d always known
 
 
Clean your wooden chopping board
Place coarse salt on the board then cut a lemon in half, rub the salt round the board with the half lemon, inner side down.
 
Still chopping board
It’s so annoying when you’re chopping board keeps moving so a quick tip is to place a damp tea towel underneath it and it won’t budge
 
Non-stick measuring cups
When you’re baking or cooking and you need to measure out liquids or sticky substances, you don’t want half of it to stick to the measuring cup.  Simply coat the inside of the cup with some oil
 
Removing the fat
Often we want to remove the excess fat from a stew/stock/sauce.  Place an ice cube on a large spoon, place on the surface of the liquid, the fat will rise to the cooler temperature and just scoop it out on the spoon. Another way is to place the ice in a muslin cloth, tie up and dip into the liquid, the fat will stick to the cloth
 
Poached eggs x12
If you are making breakfast for a gang, poached eggs can be a pain, but here is a quick hack.

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. 
2. Add 1 tbsp (15 mL) water to each cup in 12-cup muffin pan. 
3. One at a time, crack eggs into each cup. Season eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. 
4. Bake until egg whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 9 minutes. 
5. Let stand for a few minutes. 
6. Scoop out with slotted spoon, gently patting dry with paper towel.
