Set the butter out to soften, then whip it with just enough oil to give it a good texture until it is light and fluffy and nearly doubles in volume. By whipping in air, you cut costs, cut calories, and give the butter a better texture for spreading.Melissa in Bryan, TXThu, 03 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.daytipper.com/Tip/38972/Steam_vegetables_while_your_rice_cooks.aspxWhen you use a rice cooker to cook rice, you can add your vegetables to be steamed along with the rice. This will save power / energy and time too. Just cut the vegetables and put them in a strainer or colander whose diameter is either equal to or bigger than that of the rice cooker. Now place this above the rice cooker pot, and cover with lid as usual. By the time your rice cooks, the steam generated will steam the vegetables placed above them!Suchita in Richmond, VAWed, 02 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.daytipper.com/Tip/39000/How_to_cook_with_garlic.aspxGarlic has different degrees of potency. Raw garlic is much stronger than cooked. The more garlic is cooked the milder the flavor becomes. Cut up garlic is more potent than whole garlic. For just a hint of garlic, rub a clove around the inside of the pan or bowl that you are going to prepare your food in.Sharon in Cleburne, texasMon, 30 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT
