Cooking Tips of the Week –
Never cook a roast cold. Let it stand at least an hour at room temperature. Brush with oil before and during roasting – the oil will seal in the juice.
Use glass or china bowls to mix salads in instead of metal bowls.
Reduce the heat of the oven by 25º whenever cooking in glass dishes.
