[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use dry white vermouth when a recipe calls for white wine - it's like $6 a bottle, lasts forever in the fridge, and leaves the good stuff for drinking, not cooking :) Couple more: - I use instant mashed potatoes (the flakes in a box) to thicken soups and stews. I don't use them for anything else. -Frozen diced hash browns are your friend. They are just potatoes (and sometimes salt) and are a time-saver when you need to add to a soup/stew/stirfry/breakfast tacos filling/etc. - Microwave a sponge for 1 minute to kill bacteria, or run it through the dishwasher with your dishes. [/quote] Thanks for the great tips! I'd heard 2 minutes for microwaving a sponge. Are you sure that one's enough?[/quote]
