Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Kitchen/Cooking Tips

What a great thread!

My favorite is that I splurged a few years ago on high quality heavy-duty stainless steel measuring cups and spoons. But, I got two complete sets. Now when I bake I have one for dry ingredients and one for wet, so I don't have to stop and wash and dry a used cup or spoon in the middle of a recipe.

Also, I keep knives on a magnetic knife rack that hangs behind the sink. Just wash, don't even dry, and slap on the rack. I love not having to put things away. Which is why...

I hang measuring spoons and cups from little metal cup hooks beneath a kitchen shelf over the stove. They're always right there, don't have to dig through drawers.

For wooden spoons, they can absorb garlic/onion odors. So I have a few that are reserved just for sweets. I painted the tip of the handles with red nail polish to tell them apart.
