Hints & Tips :
Tortillas
Because tortillas warmed in the microwave have a tendency to dry out, warm them in a hot cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook about 6 to 8 seconds on one side, turn with tongs. Cook about 6 or 7 more seconds until hot, but still supple. Keep tortillas warm in a clean tea towel or tortilla warmer until all are reheated.


Waffles
When you finish baking waffles, put a square of wax paper between the grids before closing the iron; let it cool. Leave paper in place until the next time you use the iron, and the waffles won't stick.

Wax Paper
The wax paper lining from cereal boxes is heavier than regular wax paper. Use it to cover casserole in the microwave, line baking pans, or to wrap potatoes for microwave baking (they'll bake faster and had a better texture).

Wine
Use wine that has turned in place of vinegar, especially in marinades.

Wooden Utensils
"Season" wooden kitchen utensils by washing and drying them well (several hours). Dip them in very warm vegetable or olive oil, making sure the entire utensil, including handle, is covered. Allow this to set for a few minutes, then wipe off and dry with paper towels. This will prevent the wood from absorbing moisture.
