** Boric acid is poisonous and should never be
added to food.
** While peeling apples, pears or peaches, place the
slices in slightly salted water. They will then retain
their natural color. This also enriches the flavor.
** Do not peel pumpkins or squash. Wash them,
take out the seeds, then put them into a pressure
cooker with a very small amount of water (1/2 to 1
cup). Cook them for 10 mins. timing after cooking
starts. The shells then come off easily and the
pumpkins or squash are ready to use.
** Use a melon ball tool or a measuring spoon to
scoop out the centers of pears or apples.
** If you have a lot of peas to shell, place them in
a bucket and pour boiling water over them. Cover,
and let them stand for 10 to 15 mins. They shell
easier this way and will have a better flavor.
