Utilize a cooling rack that has the ability to be stacked. Large batches of baked goodies can quickly encroach on your work space. The stackable cooling racks make the best use of your space and allow you to produce many more batches at the same time. Stacking in vertical layers opens up the space you need to work in.

To maintain the flavor and freshness of spices and herbs, make sure you keep them stored in someplace that is cool and dark. Humidity, heat, and light all affect the flavor of your spices. Most spices will retain their flavor for about a year. Spices that are kept whole can keep their flavor for about three, four or five years. They can remain fresh longer if stored properly.

Be sure to take excessive fat out of your stew or soup. If you feel your stew is excessively fatty, an easy fix is to stick it in the fridge and let the fat solidify and float on top. Put an ice cube on a spoon and skim it across the surface. When you do this, the fat will stick to the ice. You can also blot the fat with a paper towel, if you prefer.

If your children are getting tired of the same frozen corn every night, it may be time to add some variety. You'll also want to try using coconut flakes in your corn, this can help you get a Thai inspired flavor.

Explore the benefits of using a brine in your cooking. To draw the flavors from a poultry dish, soak your duck, chicken, goose, or turkey in brine an hour before cooking.

Dark greens are healthy to eat, but they are a pain to prepare. Stems can be difficult and time-consuming to remove. To make it easier try folding it in half and then break the stem. Alternatively, you can utilize a knife to remove the stem from the folded leaf. When you unfold the leaf, you will have a perfect leaf with no stem.

Cooking with fresh basil? Store the basil within a glass. Now fill the glass with water to just above the stems. Keep it on the kitchen counter and it should stay fresh. If you continue to refresh the water, the basil will begin to grow roots for planting. Trim the basil once in a while so it grows even more and stays fresh.

When serving salad to guests, leave the dressing on the side. Some people love dressing in great huge globs, while others like a lighter taste. Some folks don't like any dressing at all, (or are watching their weight) so leave the dressing of salads up to your guests. Your guests will also enjoy having a variety of dressings from which to choose.

Don't add the dressing until right before serving. It is essential that the prep work is completed before cooking commences. When you have a limited amount of time, cooking can become stressful. If all of the prep work is completed well before the actual cooking begins, this will help alleviate some stress later.

When you are making a recipe that calls for a potato, choose the right one! Potatoes are grouped into three different textures: mealy, waxy or all-purpose. With their crumbly, dry texture, mealy potatoes are great for mashing. Russet potatoes are a common kind of mealy potato. An all-purpose potato, which can be suitably used in any dish, is the Yukon gold. If you want to boil or steam your potatoes and have them retain their shape, pick up some waxy potatoes. Red and white potatoes are familiar varieties of the waxy type.

When you season food add a little at a time every few minutes rather than adding it all at one time. This way, you're giving the food most of the flavoring and are making the best from your ingredients.

Always make certain to measure any cooking oil you use. To lower the fat you use when cooking, make sure to measure the oil you use as opposed to just pouring it straight into the pan. This allows you to keep a strict amount of oil, instead of overdoing it.

Keep your spices and herbs in a dry cupboard. Exposing them to humidity, light or warm environments will dry them out more and dissipate the flavors and aromas. This will keep them exposed to heat and other unfavorable conditions that zap all of their flavor.

Get rid of any extra fat in your soups and stews. If you have prepared a soup or stew that has a lot of fat in it, try this trick. Allow the meal to become completely cool; any fat will slowly rise to the top. Then, skim a spoon containing an ice cube over the surface. The fat should then gather on the ice. Or you can also use a knapkin or paper towel to skim the surface and collect the excess fat.
