handy tips

[jerseydevil77]

I just found some tips in an old notebook that appear to be from a cookbook. They're neat, so I thought I'd share:

When mailing a cake or cookies, they will stay fresh longer if packed in marshmallows, which act as humidors to retain the moisture.

Bacon will not curl while frying if the strips are dipped in cold water for a few seconds before

Interesting stuff. The bacon trick sounds cool but you'd want to shake the water off fairly well or you might get a shower of hot grease spatters when you place the bacon in the pan.

I tried several different humidifying agents but never found anything that would prevent brown sugar from hardening to sandstone within a week, in Utah.
