Some useful tips and information

Hi everyone today I am going to give some helpful kitchen information.Its very helpful for me when I got them reading from one of the cooking magazine.I thought why not I share them with my friends N family.
Poaching Eggs

Bring a large saucepan of water to a gentle boil and add 1 Tablespoon of white vinegar per litre of water.Break an egg into a cup then gently slide it into the water. Cook until egg white has set, about 2-3 minutes.Using a slotted spoon gently remove egg from water and sit on a paper towel to drain before serving.

Pita bread

Split and cut into wedges, brush with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and sesame seeds. Place on baking tray and grill under medium heat until crunchy and golden brown. Store in an airtight container and warm before serving as a nibble with drinks.

Rice

1 cup of uncooked rice equals about 3 cups of cooked rice.

Butter or Margarine?

Margarine is the healthier choice. Butter is high in saturated fat, which contributes to heart disease. Margarine-style spreads are made from healthy plant oils such as olive, canola and rice bran. Make the switch today.
