Cooking Tips on Substitution of Cooking Items

There’s nothing more annoying than buying an entire quart of buttermilk for a recipe that only calls for a small amount. Instead, combine 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar, plus enough milk to equal one cup. Stir together and allow to stand for 5 minutes to create “faux buttermilk.” For another option, mix 1 ¾ teaspoon cream of tartar with a cup of milk and let sit for several minutes.

One cup evaporated milk equals about 3 cups whipped.

Light cream and half-and-half can be substituted for each other.

Substitute 3T cocoa plus 3T shortening to equal 1 sq. of unsweetened chocolate.

Cooking tips: To substitute all-purpose flour for cake flour, measure out 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and then remove 2 tablespoons.

When a recipe calls for 1 cup sour milk, combine 1 to 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice and enough milk to measure 1 cup.

You can substitute 1/4 tsp baking soda plus 1/2 tsp cream of tartar for 1 tsp of baking powder.

When your recipe calls for 1 tsp allspice – you can use 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp ground cloves.

When the recipe calls for buttermilk and you´re out, add 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup milk.

Let sit for a few minutes before you use it.

If you don´t have any whipped cream, you can pour a 13 ounce can of evaporated milk in a bowl and chill in the freezer until ice crystals form. Add 1 tsp lemon juice and whip it until it´s stiff.

If you don´t have a rolling pin, fill a jar with cold water and roll on your pastry.

You can substitute 3/4 cup granulated sugar plus 1/4 cup molasses for 1 cup of brown sugar.

steak tips cooking need advice?

hello all!
tomorrow i will be cooking steak tips for my boyfreind on a george foreman grill, he told me likes anything lime flavored, can someone please tell me a recipe or a type of seasoning i can use to marinate the tips with? and how long. additionally if its not too much trouble can i please know how to cook sides and what sides go best with it?

thank you very much!
thank you eveeryone for your time and advice!

If you have a cast iron skillet, cook the steak tips there instead of on the foreman. the foreman wraps them with heat and just doesn’t do as well imo. The foreman is a good grill, but you don’t get the same sear.

I would make a paste of paprika, Cumin, Garlic, Onions, Parsley, Cilantro, Olive Oil, salt, chile pepper, and black pepper. You want it about the consistency of oatmeal. Put that in a zip top bag, and add the meat. Mush it around and remove all the air you can and let that sit overnight.

or if you have more time make a jerk rub like this http://www.globalgourmet.com/destinations/caribbean/jerkrub.html

Now as you grill those bad boys up make some saffron rice (or use just plain white rice if you don’t have saffron).

Serve that with dinner rolls and lime wedges. Yummmm.
