How do you keep mashed potatoes from getting stringy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When I make my mashed potatoes, I make sure they're cooked enough that you can break them apart with a fork in the pot, without them turning to mush on their own. You then add butter/margarine and milk. I don't have any exact measurements for you as I generally eyeball it. But if you've never done it before, I suggest you start with a little milk and just add a few drops at a time. Mix it well between each addition. You know you have enough when it takes on a creamy consistency.

And don't forget: As the cook, it is always your right to taste everything as you're making it to make sure it turns out the way you want it to!

P.S. To my knowledge, there's no limit to how much butter you want to put it, as it's mostly to taste anyway.

How long can you keep crabapple juice in fridge?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Providing juices are stored correctly they will keep their nutritional value for up to 3 days.

The important thing with juice storage is reducing contact with air, so make sure you fill your air tight juice container right up to the top before placing the lid on and putting it in the fridge.

You will know that your juice has begun to oxidate when it changes colour becoming darker.

If a banana is kept in a fridge, the cold air causes substances called polyphenals to be produced. This causes the banana to turn black. See Related Links.

How long can you keep open fresh milk in the refrigerator after due date?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Milk is sold (if properly handled in the store) with an expected shelf life of five to seven days after the expiration date. The expiration date is for the store, not for you the consumer. That seven days is dependent on your fridge being good and cold (38 degrees Fahrenheit or colder). The colder your fridge is the longer it will keep. Signs that the milk is past it's prime include curdling in warm liquids, off odors and in the extreme - clumping.

Give it a sniff and if in doubt, throw it out!

Are mashed potatoes good after being frozen?

User Avatar

Asked by Robin

Yes. (Frozen dinners often have mashed potatoes in them.) I usually add more liquid to mashed potatoes before I freeze them so they don't get too dry when reheating. Or, you can add a bit more liquid, if needed, when you reheat them.

If you whip them well ,then will freeze very well.But doing it with a hand masher;they don'tcome out well when unthawed.Get them nice and light ,and add just enough liquidto bind them .To much liquid and they'll be heavy ,and don't freeze as well.

How long can you keep tomato paste in the fridge?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the folks at Contadina...Tomato products can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Remove the balance of the product from the opened can and place it in a container equal in size to the amount of product. Seal tightly. This reduces the amount of air in contact with the tomato product. Air causes oxidation and the product will turn black. But a little olive oil will also keep the air out.

Is it safe to use uncooked eggs still in shell after they have been left in the car overnight?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If your car was as cold as a refrigerator, there would be no problem. Otherwise, it would depend on what temperature the eggs reached and whether or not these are raw shell eggs or cooked eggs.

If you are in any doubt about their safety, discard them.

How do you preserve amla juice?

User Avatar

Asked by Saraperu

Method 1 : Aloe vera may be prepared as 100% juice, stabilised with vitamin C. Pick large leaves, cut the skin off, rinse the yellow sap off with water and place the clear gel in a blender. For 3 cups of gel, add 1 teasp. of vitamin C powder and blend at low speed. Place in a covered container in the refrigerator. Take 2-5 tablesp. daily, mixed with water or added to fruit juice, which helps to disguise the gooey texture and makes it easier to swallow. The pure juice, taken regularly, is recommended as the most effective way to reap the medicinal benefits of aloe. Method 2: 1. Take 2-3 large aloe leaves and cut them into @1x1 in chunks.

2. Put the chunks in a large pot of water and put on stove to boil.

3. Let boil for several minutes. Lower heat in needed so water does not boil over.

4. Take pot off flame and let steep and cool for @ an hour.

5. Take the plant pieces out and throw away. The liquid is what you will drink.

Dosage : Drink about a cup of the aloe "juice" 3 times a day for 5 days in a row. Don't take again for about 2 weeks, then you can repeat. Advantages : Helps to avoid or shorten colds and flu, and helps digestion. It smells and tastes nasty, but goes down easier if you hold your nose!

How long can you leave tomato sauce at room temt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on the acidity of the tomato sauce, or whether artificial preservatives have been added, tomato sauce can be left out at room temperature (68-72 degrees Fahrenheit) for 2-5 days. Home made tomato sauce is likely to have little to no artificial preservatives, but is preserved by the acidity of the tomatoes, the added salt, and various herbs added. Therefore, in my experience, homemade tomato sauce has not gone bad until the third night, assuming that the tomato sauce was made on the first morning. Store-bought tomato sauce may have ascorbic acid, vinegar and/or other preservatives added that allow the tomato sauce to be left out unopened for an undefined amount of time. When opened, the tomato sauce will not be affected for several days. Several of my friends never refrigerate their store-bought tomato sauce, because they use up the entire bottle within the week. However, if the tomato sauce has been excessively handled or contaminated, it may spoil withing 12 hours.

How long can salt keep an apple from rotting?

Asked by Wiki User

Water will start to dissolve the apple, but it will in no way rot it. Rotting is caused by decomposers, mainly bacteria. These decomposers can not live under water, so the apple would not rot at all.

How do you keep apple crisp crisp?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

there are several important factors in keeping apple crisps, or infact many other crisps, crispy. If making them yourselves ensure the oven is at a high enough temperature, if cooked to slowly or not enough the crisp will -unlike it should- fail to crisp. This is due to the mafipulation process of high molecular re-construction weight distribution not being fully allowed to develop. You may fall in the trap of not wanting the burn the vagetable or fruit crisps, however, this should not be a problem. The moisture in the crisps, and in the oil needed to cook with them will ensure they stay un blackened and uneffected in taste by the extreme heat.

If buying apple crisps which are not crispy, or loose there crisp after a while, ensure you are keeping them in a cool, dry place, and or ensure they are not dormont (too hot or too cold can cause the bacteria placement within any food to become "dormont" this is why frozen or cooked food will last longer).
