Frugal tip 3/28

Tips from Martha Stewart


- To easily remove boiled potato skins, transfer them to an ice-water bath for a few minutes. Cup the potatoes in your hands, and use your thumbs to split the puckered skins; the potato will slide right out.


- Before hard-boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to the water to prevent the shells from cracking.

- To peel pearl onions with ease, soak them first in warm water for 15 minutes.

- For a quick buttermilk substitute, add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to 1 cup milk.

- For perfect, evenly shaped cookies, use an ice-cream scoop to form and place chilled dough onto the baking sheets.
