    The reason wet potholders burn is because it turns into steam immediately upon contact with the hot material in the oven! Steam burns are quick, fast, and need no direct contact to hurt. I’m so glad you included this tip, so many don’t know it!!! Also be careful to not use polyester/acrylic holders on hot items for too long, if at all. The material is plastic and can melt on contact with hot surfaces ❤

    Make sure to boil soaked beans for about 15 minutes. Toss out that water. Rinse well.
    And then cook them as you’d like.
    The first boiling will get rid of gas inducing compounds.
    Your beans will taste better too and the water won’t look so gross and muddy.

      @@michellegriffin1994 Also, I think it’s worth noting that aside from gas inducing compounds in beans, many anti-nutrients like phytates, lectins, and glucosinolates are found in beans and can be removed or deactivated by soaking.
      There are things in beans that can be deadly if a bean is eaten raw, for example. I know no one is eating raw means lol, but, I figured I’d mention that to better paint a picture of the importance of boiling beans first and dumping that gross murky water.
      Also, for clarification, ANTI NUTRIENTS is anything that prevents your body from fully absorbing minerals and vitamins.

    My mom tought me that grease tip when i was younger too! Another hot oil tip for those that need to drain it somewhere; line a bowl or cup with tin foil, pour the hot oil in that. Once the oil cools and re solidifies, you can just toss the tinfoil in the trash! If it doesnt solidify, once it cools, put it in a ziplock and throw it away. My friend showed me that years ago and it was a game changer for me 😊

    I've been using an egg slicer go chop eggs by cutting the egg twice...once the long way and once across. Your way is so much quicker and less messy. My teenage grandson lives with me and cooks mac and cheese from a box sometimes. Your hack is a perfect way to get away from the powdered "cheese" on the boxed products. I'll be passing on this great idea today. This video is great for new cooks. They don't teach what we called HomeEc in school anymore, which is too bad.

    Hi Julia, all great tips. I've burnt my hands more than once from draining something from the microwave, getting my mitts wet and then taking something out of the oven. When I first got married, I use to drain my chopped meat in the colander lined with paper towels when I was making meat sauce. Then if finally dawned on me one day to just wipe the pot with the paper towels. Live and learn. That mac and cheese looks great, I'll have to try that. Thanks for sharing all these mistakes which we all make, one time or another. Stay well and safe.💜

I have been married less than two years and have definitely enjoyed using your recipes to make our dinners a lot more delicious and exciting.

    Just loved the tip your Mom gave you about using the paper towel to mop up the grease from the chopped meat! My Mom taught me to pour it into an empty soup can or paper cup and freeze it until garbage day LOL One new hack I want to share that shocked me is to put whole avocados that are just slightly ripe into a covered container of water and keep them in the refrigerator! two weeks on they are still perfectly fresh! I'm not throwing out avocados anymore, YAY!!!! Great tips, Julia, Thank you!

    I miss your cute salt and pepper shakers. My grandmother collected them. Great idea on the cutting up eggs. When I was a young married and learning to cook.

    The lemon/vinegar trick is great. Little things like that helped me help my mom to lose over 50lbs in less than 6 months. All of her numbers are in check and didn’t “diet”. Just little changes at all meals.
