How are foods maintained? ~ The Vegetables ~ The vegetables we can separate them in two categories: ~ To what has stem (aubergines, fresh beans etc.) and what does not have (greens). ~ The vegetables with stems are maintained in water which it should be changed often, two to three times the day. ~ The greens are maintained in a clean towel that we have moistened with water. ~ In this case the towel should be maintained the moist for as long as the storage of the vegetables lasts. ~ You want to extend the herb and vegetable aroma longer? ~ The secret in order to keep the aroma more days that accompanies foods like celery, dill, parsley, spearmint is to put them in a glass with water into the refrigerator. ~ Their duration of life will be at least double. ~ Are the potatoes growing roots? ~ When we keep potatoes in the cool room or elsewhere and we don’t want them to grow roots faster, we put in between them an apple. ~ It will delay the root budding for a long period of time. ~ Wandering if the eggs are fresh? ~ In order to find out if the eggs you just bought are as fresh as they say they are, put one egg in a bowl floating in water. ~ If the egg is horizontal, it is fresh. ~ If the egg is in a slanting position, it is 3-4 days old. ~ If it is vertical, is about 10 days old and if it floats, it is stale. ~ Eggs ~ The eggs are maintained for weeks if we place them in salt. ~ In a small wooden box, we place a layer of salt. ~ Then we place the eggs upright. ~ When we have placed the all eggs, we still throw a layer of salt on the eggs. ~ Milk ~ The milk is maintained with boiling. ~ We can also throw in some sugar at the time of boiling for better result. ~ Bread ~ An easy way to maintain the bread fresh is to store it in the freezer. ~ Naturally, when we are to consume it, we remove it from the freezer and we leave it to defrost for 6-8 hours. ~ We heat it up in the oven for a few minutes and it will be as fresh as the day we buy it. ~ Pure and clean ice cubes? ~ Boil the water before pouring it into the ice cube tray and freezing it.
