To save time in peeling pota-
toes, peel only a thin strip around
the potato lengthwise. When these
are cooked, the remaining peel
will come off easily.
Skins w'ill come off much more
quickly from apples if you dip
them in hot w'ater just before peel-
in. Peeled apples will not turn
brown if you sprinkle them with
lemon juice or place them in cold
water to which a pinch of salt has
been added.
To peel sweet potatoes easily and
without fuss, grease the skins with
lard before you bake them.
Bothered with odor from cook-
ing turnips? Add one teaspoon of
granulated sugar to the water in
which they’re cooked.
Pineapple peels with little effort
if you slice the pineapple into rings
of fruit and then peel each one
separately. A bit of lemon juice
highlights the flavor of the fruit.
Chicken and other fowl are help-
ed to tenderness if you rub inside
and outside of the bird with |«>mnn
juice.
