Vegetables that have been lying in the refrigerator tend to look dull
and lifeless. If you want to make a salad, and need your veggies to look
fresh, soak them in cold water with a few drops of lime for about
15minutes and they will look bright and delicious.
Slicing cheesecake and other cold desserts is tricky. If you want to
make clean slices soak your knife in warm water for a few minutes, then
wipe it dry and use to make a clean slice.
To prevent pieces of cut apple or pear from turning black, squeeze a
little lime juice on them or sprinkle a little bit of crushed mustard.
When boiling potatoes add a pinch of salt to the water. This loosens the potato peal and makes peeling boiled potatoes a lot easer.
Before cooking cauliflower keep in soaking in water mixed with a
teaspoon of vinegar for about fifteen minutes. This not only loosens the
dirt and grit but also kills any insects that may be lodged between the
florets.
