What foods and cooking ingredients can you use for cleaning your kitchen? Baking soda, vinegar, and lemon are three simple items that can be used for various uses.

White cake
Baking Cheats
When making a cake grease the pan with butter and then sprinkle it with sugar, this not only keeps your cake from sticking but provides a crispy sweet finish. Use a mason jar to hold your piping bag for easy filling. Turn regular milk into buttermilk by adding a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Fried chicken on a plate with veggies
Frying With Less Mess
When frying foods like chicken there is usually a big oily mess involved before all is said and done. Dip chicken in egg and milk, dredge in your flour or batter mix then place in preheated oil in a large skillet. Reduce heat and turn chicken immediately to seal the batter in place. Cover with a lid and let food cook for 8 minutes before turning and replacing lid for another 8 minutes. Your chicken will be well done, tender and your batter will be crisp and delicious. Remove directly to a metal strainer lined with paper towels to absorb the extra oil. Voila, a neat way to fry chicken!
