Note Worthy Tips

1. Do not use salted, flavored nuts in desserts.
2. FRUIT PIES:
When using pared and sliced fresh fruits, always soak them in a solution of 1 cup water + 2 tbsp lemon juice to prevent discoloration. If lemon juice is not available substitute with 2 tablets of pulverized ascorbic acid dissolved in 1~1/2 cups water.
3. WHIPPED CREAM:
has to be chilled. Here are some methods:
a. at least 24 hours in the refrigerator
b. can also be chilled in the freezer for at least 40 minutes before use
c. For short notices, dip beaters in ice water for 3 minutes and beat
cream over a bowl of ice.
4. COOKIES:
a. If you want a tender, chewy cookie, then treat the dough with tenderness. Tough cookies are usually the result of overmixing. Beat butter-sugar mixture just until it is light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs thoroughly, then 'stir' in the dry ingredients.
b. The term 'stir' in baking usually means by hand or at very low speed with an electric mixer. Overmixing the flour makes the dough gluey because the glutens start activating.
c. Always add the chocolate chips, nuts last (to make it intact) unless otherwise stated.
d. Butter makes a crispier cookie than margarine does, and it also burns more quickly. When margarine is used, it is primarily to make a softer and chewier cookie.
e. Use fresh eggs. The fresher the eggs, the more air they can sustain during thebeating process, which makes for a more tender cookie.
5. To 'temper' simply means to add cold to hot.
Basic method for tempering SEMI-SWEET and BITTERSWEET chocolate. Divide 3 lbs chocolate into 3. Melt 2 lbs chocolate on a separate pan until it reaches 115 degrees. Remove from heat. Slowly stir in the unmelted chocolate bits 1/4 cup at a time into the 1 lb melted and still warm chocolate. Make sure that the other half of the melted choolate stays warm by keeping it in a warm oven at a very low 150- 200 degrees. After you have stirred in the chocolate and it has cooled, check the temperature. If it is NOT between 86 to 90 degrees, warm it up by slowly adding the other pound of melted chocolate 1/4 cup at a time. When the temperature is between 86 to 90 degrees, the chocolate is ready to pour into molds or cover truffles.
For WHITE and MILK chocolate, same tempering method except the initial temperature is lower at 110 degrees and the second temperature is set at 86 to 89 degrees.
