Potatoes are a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. Here are some kitchen tips for cooking with potatoes: 1. Choose the right type of potato: There are many different types of potatoes, but not all are created equal. For example, russet potatoes are best for baking, while waxy potatoes like red or yellow potatoes are great for roasting or boiling. 2. Store potatoes properly: Potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark place with good ventilation. Don't store them in the refrigerator, as this can cause them to become mealy. 3. Cut potatoes evenly: When cutting potatoes for dishes like fries or hash browns, try to cut them into evenly-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. 4. Soak potatoes in water: Soaking potatoes in water for 15-30 minutes before cooking can help remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries or hash browns. 5. Don't overcook potatoes: Overcooked potatoes can become mushy and lose their flavor. Check them regularly while

When cooking pasta, be sure to use a large pot with plenty of water to allow the pasta to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking together. A general rule of thumb is to use about 4-6 quarts of water per pound of pasta. Also, add a generous amount of salt to the water before bringing it to a boil. This will help flavor the pasta and enhance its texture. Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent it from clumping together. Be sure to check the cooking time on the package and cook the pasta until it's al dente, meaning it's still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta can become mushy and lose its texture. When draining the pasta, save some of the cooking water in case you need to add it to the sauce later. And finally, don't rinse the pasta after draining it unless you're making a cold pasta salad. Rinsing can remove the starch that helps the sauce adhere to the pasta. #Jinpichel #LaPulperia #Kitchentips

  Prevent brown sugar from hardening Ugh, the worst: You go make cookies, only to find your brown sugar hardened into crusty nuggets (or a single rock-hard candy mountain). Help brown sugar stay soft and scoopable by tossing an orange peel or a slice of apple along with the sugar into an airtight container. Or, for a quick fix, microwave brown sugar next to a small glass of water. The moisture the water released into the microwave will help break up the block of sugar. #Jinpichel #LaPulperia #Kitchentips

  Kitchen tips with lemon When selecting, choose lemons that are heavy for their size and have smooth skins. Before squeezing juice from a fresh lemon, try one of these tips to produce more juice: Allow the lemon to reach room temperature and then roll it on a hard countertop using the palm of your hand. Roll it back and forth until you feel the skin loosening. To produce more juice from a lemon or other citrus fruit, place the fruit in a bowl of hot water before cutting and squeezing. Place it in the microwave for 10 seconds before squeezing #Jinpichel #LaPulperia #Kitchentips

  Kitchen Tips To Organize Your Baking Corner Designate a baking area in your pantry or cupboard and store any baking-specific food items there. Keep dry ingredients together and wet ingredients together. Keep all bottled items together (corn syrup, molasses, extracts) as well as baking-specific spices. Bags of ingredients that tend to slide around, like marshmallows, coconut flakes and chocolate chips, can be stored together in a bin. Many flours and nuts can go rancid if not used quickly, so keep those in the freezer. Transfer all-purpose flour and sugar to separate airtight containers with large mouths that can easily accommodate measuring cups. Open bags of brown sugar can easily harden if not tightly sealed and kept in a (sandwich or quart-size) resealable bag. #Jinpichel #LaPulperia #Kitchentips

  Peel Ginger with a Spoon Ginger can be tricky to peel with all its bumps and irregularities. Rather than using a paring knife or vegetable peeler, reach for the spoon. Scrape it against the skin and it'll come right off, following every contour and minimizing waste. #jinpichel #kitchentips
