Get rid of the soup fat!

Don’t despair if the soup is too fatty! It can be fixed! Get rid of the soup fat putting the pot of soup in the refrigerator, wait 30 minutes, then skim the grease from the top and reheat. If you’re short on time, add a few ice cubes and remove them as soon as you see grease sticking to them or try tossing a large lettuce leaf into the pot to absorb any extra oil. Discard the leaf once it looks limp.

Prevent mushrooms from getting slimy

Mushrooms aren’t exactly the hardiest of ingredients! Once home, they can become slimy and develop brown spots within just a few days. If we can’t use them all right away, we try to do whatever we can to eek out just a little more life from our mushrooms. Prevent mushrooms from getting slimy by wrapping them in paper towels before refrigerating.
