KITCHEN TIPS FOR AFRICA WOMEN

KITCHEN TIPS From Africa

1. Never store Onions and Potatoes together because both

produce a gas that causes either of them to spoil quickly.

2. Put two or three orange leaves in your hot palm oil on the

fire. Let the leaves turn black before removing it. By then your

palm oil becomes pure groundnut oil also giving your food a

nice taste.

3. To avoid feeling a peppering hotness on your hands after

cutting pepper with bare hand scrub your hand with salt and

red oil then wash it.

4. If you happen to over salt a pot of soup, just drop in a

peeled potato. The potato will absorb the excess salt.

5. If your Soup or Stew goes sour while warming it, add little

piece of Charcoal and remove after warming, the taste will

come back.

6. Never put citrus fruits (oranges, lemon, lime, etc) or

tomatoes in the fridge. The low temperature degrades the

aroma and flavor of these fruits.

7. When storing empty airtight containers, throw in a pinch of

salt to keep them from getting stinky.

8. If your salt is becoming lumpy, put a few grains of rice in

with it to absorb excess moisture.

9. To reuse cooking oil without tasting whatever was cooked

in the oil previously, cook a 1/4" piece of ginger in the oil. It

will remove any remaining flavors and odors.
