To get the most juice from citrus fruits, prick the peels several times with a fork, then microwave for a few seconds.
Need to slice up some dried fruit but hate the sticky mess? Toss the fruit into the freezer for about 20 minutes first. The firm pieces will be easy to slice through and they won't stick to your knife and hands.
Apples, pears and potatoes dropped in cold, lightly salted water as they are peeled will retain their color.
When preparing avocados, to avoid the browning of avocado flesh when exposed to air, immediately place the peeled fruit in lemon juice until ready for use.
For a cool refreshing treat, cut a banana into chunks and put in the freezer. Take out in a couple of hours and enjoy.
When baking potatoes, pierce with a fork to allow the steam to escape and do not wrap them in foil as this will give them a steamed texture.
When cooking with fresh herbs and spices, use three times the amount of the dried required by the recipe.
