MISCELLANEOUS HINTS FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER.
If soup is made too salt, add a few slices of raw potato and cook a few minutes longer. The potato will absorb most of the salt, without giving its own flavour to the soup.
A burnt saucepan should be filled with cold water ai d a piece of soda. Bring it slowly to the boil, and boil fast for twenty minutes. If any stain remains scour with sand.
Another Flan. — Don't fill a saucepan which has been burned with soda-water, for, though this will remove the burned food, it will make the saucepan liable to burn again when next it is used. Instead of soda-water fill the saucepan with salt and water, and leave it till next day, then slowly bring it to the boil. In this way the burned particles of food will come off, and the cleaning of the saucepan will cause no bad after effects.
Hints about Drains. — A lump of soda laid on the drain-pipe will prevent the pipes becoming clogged up with grease. It is well also to flood the pipes once a week with boiling water in which a little soda has been dissolved. Condy’s Fluid may also be used for this purpose.
A tin cup filled with vinegar, and placed on the back of the stove, will prevent the spread of cooking odours throughout the house.
When bakmg cake, on removing it from the oven, place the tin containing the cake on a damp towel for a moment, and the cake may readily be taken from the tin without sticking.
The uses of a raw Potato. — To clean gilt frames, cut a raw potato in two, rub the frames with it, and polish them thoroughly with a soft clean duster. Raw potato with a little bathbrick will remove stains from steel knives and forks, and stains can also be taken out of tinware and brass in the same way.
You can mend your own tinware. — Scrape the tin about the hole so that it will be free from foreign particles, grease, and the like; rub across the hole with a piece of resin till there is a fine powder of it all around, then lay a tiny piece of solder over it and hold a hot poker on it till it melts.
White sauce left over from some dish is delicious if used to mix with mashed potatoes.
