HOW TO TEST THE FRESHNESS OF EGGS
1.Place the egg in a bowl of water.
2.If the egg lays on its side at the bottom, it is still quite fresh.
3.If the egg stands upright on the bottom, it is still fine to eat, but should be eaten very soon, or hard-boiled.
4.If the egg floats to the top, it’s past its prime, and not good for eating.

WENKE VIR DIE GEBRUIK VAN BALSAMIESE ASYN

WENKE VIR DIE GEBRUIK VAN BALSAMIESE ASYN
Tersia Loggenberg:
Gebruik dit in slaaie as ek maalvleis of enige vleis gereg maak.dit bring die smaak na vore
Glenda Alexander: Salad dressing, gooi baie min in anders is dit ‘n disaster.
Riana Groenewald:
Lekker starter, lekker ciabatta en dan dip jy die stukkie brood in die asyn en daarna in olyf olie, dis heerlik – baie lief vir dit in Europa.
Lorraine Knight: oor slaai en slap chips
Faye Abrahams: Use it as a substitute for regular vinegar in salads, caramelised onions, over chips, in marinades.
Kiti De Jager:
Mens gebruik net ‘n druppel of 3, het jy jou vleis gemarineer in dit? Jy kan dit soeter maak deur suiker daarin te smelt. Maar soos die ander sê, baie min. Jy wil net die smakie hê.
Chantal Grung: Take big brown mushrooms, melt some butter, balsamic vineger and garlic in the microwave, pour over the whole mushroom, add cheese on top and grill in the oven! Continue reading
