Cooking Tips
🍞 Bread
- Stale bread makes the best French toast, croutons, and breadcrumbs.
- Store bread at room temperature in a bread box — refrigeration dries it out.
- Refresh stale bread by sprinkling with water and baking at 350°F for 5 minutes.
Nutrition: Source of carbohydrates, B vitamins, and iron. Whole grain bread adds fiber.
Storage: Room temperature for 3-5 days. Freeze sliced bread for up to 3 months.
🧈 Butter
- Use unsalted butter for cooking so you can control the salt level.
- Brown butter in a light-colored pan so you can see the color change.
- Clarified butter has a higher smoke point and won't burn as easily.
Nutrition: Source of vitamin A and healthy fats in moderation. One tablespoon has about 100 calories.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 6 months.
