HOW TO ADJUST YOUR BAKING IN HUMID CONDITIONS

HOW TO ADJUST YOUR BAKING IN HUMID CONDITIONS
If it’s humit you can reduce the amount of liquid in your recipe slightly. Try reducing it by about 1/8th to 1/4. There is some trail and error in this process. If you would normally put in one half a cup of liquid, reduce it to as little as one quarter the amount.
If after mixing your dough looks too dry it’s okay to add a little more liquid.
This works on batter as well. However, when you find that the weather is dry you can do the opposite. Add more liquid to the recipe.

DIFFERENT USES FOR DIFFERENT VINEGARS

DIFFERENT USES FOR DIFFERENT VINEGARS
White or spirit vinegar:
Since it contains a higher percentage of acidic content, it is more ideal as a household cleaning agent. It provides an eco-friendly solution for eliminating dirt and foul odor on a wide range of materials such as fabric, metal, glass, fur, tiles, and many others. It can also be used as a urine-cleaner for pets, as well as a natural herbicide or weed killer. White vinegar does not contain ammonia; it cleanses thoroughly without leaving any strong or harmful smells.
Distilled vinegar:
Being the milder variation, is more suitable for cooking, flavoring, food preservation, or as a food additive. Additionally, it can be used as a household remedy. For instance, it is an effective way of curing or preventing athlete’s foot and warts. It is also very helpful in relieving sunburn and prevents the skin from peeling or blistering. Continue reading
