  1. Fun #kitchenhack: Buy chalk markers to put dates & witticisms on leftovers. Sure it smudges a bit - but it cleans off pretty well for next time. WAY easier than grease pencil!

    There's also calendars you can mark up - if that's you.

    The refrigerator might not be the best place to draw a lot - there is a bit of a residual image, & chalk could get on passersby.

    #leftovers are 11% more likely to get eaten with #chalkmarker annotations. (not a scientific study) 😏

  2. A tea strainer makes a great surface sifter. I keep mine in a sealable jar of flour so it's always ready to go. It takes a "bite" of the flour and I can sprinkle the flour lightly over the surface of the dough and/or work surface, then put it away until next time. Works for making a roux, too.

  3. I agree.

    Recipes should include the weight of the eggs required.

    If the egg is separated, it should include the weight of the whites and the weight of the yolks.

  5. Does it count as a #KitchenHack if it's something you shouldn't do?

    Here's a handy tip that you probably knew by intuition anyhow; if you're making a salad dressing type concoction, truffle oil is not a suitable replacement for sesame oil.

  6. I showed how easy it is to make ricotta the other day for over 50% cheaper than buying it, in under 15 minutes.

    Now here’s the “cream cheese” I make from it — just purée it with some salt! But I add lemon juice, sea salt, white pepper, blitz it, then add lemon zest.

    Ricotta has: 50% less fat, 20% less carbs, 50% fewer calories, and 80% more protein than cream cheese.

    Highly recommend making your own. #recipes #food #kitchenhack #cheapeats #healthy #cooking
