Cooking Tips
🍅 Tomatoes
- Store ripe tomatoes at room temperature for best flavor — never in the fridge.
- Add a pinch of sugar to tomato sauce to balance acidity.
- Blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds to easily peel the skin.
Nutrition: Excellent source of lycopene, vitamin C, and potassium. One medium tomato has 22 calories.
Storage: Keep unripe tomatoes on the counter. Use ripe tomatoes within 5 days.
🧀 Cheese
- Bring cheese to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
- Grate your own cheese — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that affect melting.
- Add cheese at the end of cooking on low heat to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
Nutrition: High in calcium, protein, and phosphorus. Varies by type — mozzarella is lower fat, cheddar is higher.
Storage: Wrap in parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Hard cheeses last weeks; soft cheeses use within days.
