    Storing Atta ...

    In order to keep off worms while you store Atta, put some cloves in it.
    You can try the same with any flour - maida, besan, etc.

    If you are not going to open it for usage on a daily basis, you can also store it in fridge in air-tight packing/containers.

    Also, ensure that when you use it, you put dry laddle to take the flour.

    broiler chicken and its freshness

    I used to buy broiler chicken. I may not be able to prepare it the very day itself.
    Instead I keep it in freezer. There is no wonder in this! Everyone do like this!
    But its freshness is lost while keeping in freezer. Is there any way by which we can retain its freshness?

    Well megha, try this way……..

    Soak a cotton cloth in vinegar and wrap the broiler chicken inside this.

    This is a method to retain the freshness of broiler chicken.

    Store eggs for long...

    To store eggs in refrigerator for long period.
    Apply some coconut oil over the eggs and keep it in refrigerator.
    By this way you can even store it for one month.

    To keep worms off from Atta

    Simi,

    For normal storage during daily use, add a bayleaf to the atta/flour container. This will keep it free from moisture and hence you can avoid worms.

    If you want to store the atta for long, store in the refrigerator (freezer section) in polythene covers tightly closed.

    Boil eggs and store for long

    Eggs can also be boiled and stored for longer. Boil the eggs and store the shelled eggs in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator.

    Storing greens / leafy vegetables

    While storing greens / leafy vegetables, wrap them in a newspaper and store in the fridge. Better to leave them on top of the glass tray(used to cover the vegetable storing container).

    This will make them last fresh for a week. Not necessary to cook within a day of buying the greens.

    To store coriander leaves fresh for more than a week

    We all buy coriander in bunches. Here is how you store them fresh for more than a week...

    Clean and wash them. Let the water drain. In a container place a paper towel/tissue and spread them on top of it. Close and leave the container in the refrigerator. This will help preserve the coriander leaves for more than a week.

    Storing egg yolk

    If you need only the egg white, for storing the remaining yolk to use later, pour water or milk covering the yolk and keep in a cool dark place.

    Later just drain off the liquid before using the yolk.
