More Cooking Tips

Hamburgers in a hurry: Poke a hole in their centers when shaping. The center will cook quickly, and when the hamburgers are done, the holes are gone.
Stuffed Cabbage: freeze the leaves first and they'll roll around filling easier. And you can skip blanching.
Rinse cooked, ground meat with water when draining off the fat. This helps "wash away" even more fat! Use hot or warm water so fat won't congeal.
Slicing meat when partially frozen makes it easier to get thin slices.
Use a pastry blender to cut ground beef into small pieces after browning.
For easy "meatloaf mixing", combine the ingredients with a potato masher.
When roasting turkeys, turn the breast down. The white meat is much juicier. When you try this you will be delighted.
