Yesterday, my cousin Michele sent me an-mail with a video from You Tube of Dawn Welles peeling a potato. Now, you ask, what's so great about this? When you watch the video, you will understand...all these years, why didn't someone tell me this hint before??????
It turns out that Mary Ann was much smarter than the Professor after all!!!!
Here is a video that you must watch - let's hope that it's true and it really works...
Why didn't I find this out earlier in the week
before making all the potato salad and an upcoming post
for potato croquettes. I can't wait to try it.
Here is the link (for some reason the video wouldn't upload - sorry)
My friend Lorraine always told me about a hint that she read in Family CIrcle Magazine by Michael Tyrell, Associate Editor. He said that if you put a tablespoon of vegetable oil in the water when you are making hard boiled eggs, it becomes very easy to peel then. This is a great hint with Passover and Easter coming. Who hasn't had a hard boiled egg that was a problem to
peel and it seems to always happen when you need to use them whole as in a deviled egg, or as part of a Seder at Passover. Let's try this hint at the holidays this year and see what happens.
Let me know if you try it and it works.
The rational for the oil is that the shells of the eggs are porous and that the oil enters the shells and makes the skins come off more easily.
