I invite you to explore Nan Joyce’s Kitchen for the full collection of old Aussie tricks and the reasons they work: https://nanjoyceskitchen.com Back in the sixties, every Aussie kitchen ran on tricks nobody wrote down. A cold saucer in the freezer. A teaspoon that did a peeler's job. A jar of dripping by the stove. Then came packet mixes and non-stick pans, and those tricks got called old-fashioned. Turns out, nan was right all along.
