How To Store Your Garlic, Onions And Shallots So They Can Last For Months

 

Instructions:
1. Make sure onions, garlic etc are firm and blemish free.
2. Use brown lunch paper bags....
3. Hole punch.
4. Paper clips for holding bags closed.

How to make:
1. Punch the bags. You can do this any way you wish, even randomly all about the upper half of the bags. Typically holes are punched by folding the bag a few times and then punching in a row, spacing the punches an inch or so apart. Another method would be to fold the bag in half lengthwise, punch along one edge, flip the folded bag over and punch along the other edge, approximately 1" between punches. It by no means needs to be perfect, simply punch holes for ventilation. The result is multiple rows of holes.
2. Fill the bag up to half full (just below or at first punched holes), fold over the top, label it and paper clip it to hold the top down."

How to cook a soft-boiled/hard-boiled egg

Preparation method


There is a great debate and many points of view on how to boil the perfect egg.

However, there are a few points that all the experts agree on:


•Always cook a fresh egg and one that is at room temperature (not straight out of the fridge).
•Use a small pan, so that the eggs do not have room to move.
•Start with cold water and only just cover the eggs by 1cm.
•Always use a kitchen timer avoid using your watch or clock.
•Never use fast boiling water; a gentle simmer is all they need.
•Never boil eggs longer than necessary as the yolks turn dark and rubbery.


Place eggs into a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for:

2 minutes - Really soft runny eggs
3 minutes - White just set and yolk that is creamy
4 minutes - White and yolk perfectly set with yolk that is creamy
5 minutes - White is set and yolk is soft
6 minutes - White and yolk cooked all the way through

Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and transfer to egg cups. Slice off tops and serve with buttered fingers (soldiers) of freshly toasted bread.
