Choosing Appliance -> Servicing Your Appliance Buying this "service deal" can be expensive but if you feel happier knowing that you are protected from breakdown for a few years, shop around insurance brokers to see how prices compare. Choosing Appliance -> Range Cookers The way you cook is also key to deciding which type of range cooker to choose. No-frills heat storage ranges such as Agas retain heat they have gradually built up and generally have two ovens without temperature controls - the hot oven is for roasting and baking, the cool one for slow cooking/keeping warm. Kitchen tips -> Onions
- When selecting, choose firm onions that have dry paper-like skins and that seem heavy for their size. Avoid onions that are soft or spotty and any that have begun to sprout.
- When cutting onions and only half the onion will be used, use the top half and store the root end. The root end will stay fresh for a longer period of time.
- Tear saving tips: (Experiment with these tips and see what works best for you!)
- Slice under running water.
- Peel the onion, cut in half and let soak in water for approximately 10 minutes before cutting.
- Store in the refrigerator before cutting so the onion is cold.
- Light one or two candles in the area you are cutting the onion.
- Be sure to use a sharp knife.
- Have a fan blowing the fumes away from you.
- Try holding your breath while you are cutting the onion.
- To remove the onion odor from your hands, rub a piece of lemon in salt and then squeeze the juice on your hands, rub the juice in, and then rinse it off.
