How to Tell the Temperature of Cooking Oil Without a Thermometer

How to Tell the Temperature of Cooking Oil Without a Thermometer

 

Quick Instructions:

 

To check if oil temperature is hot enough for frying food, briefly place the end of a wooden spoon (or chopstick)  into the oil.  If it is at the appropriate temperature, the moisture in the wood will cause the oil around the spoon to bubble.

 

To be extra cautious and safe you should use a thermometer to check the temperature of the oil.  You can read a review of my favorite thermometer but this tip is for those occasions when you do not have a thermometer handy.  This is an old-fashioned method for finding the approximate temperature of the oil you’re frying.

 

Step by Step Instructions:

 

  • Just to be safe, I recommend having a fire extinguisher on hand whenever you’re frying with oil.
  • For best results when deep frying be sure and use an oil that has a high smoke point.  Peanut oil, safflower oil, soy oil, and refined sunflower oil are a few good options.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat.  If you heat the oil too fast it has the possibility of igniting so keep the oil on a medium heat.
  • Slowly dip the end of a wooden spoon (you can also use a chopstick or other wooden kitchen utensil) into the oil.
  • If the oil is at the appropriate temperature for cooking there will be bubbles in the oil around the spoon.
  • If no bubbles appear, wait a few moments and check again.
I hope this little tip helps you!  I forget when and where I first heard this but it has been a big help to me in the kitchen.  {Update: Recently, I’ve been using my favorite thermometer of all time, the Thermapen,to check the temperature of oil.  It’s amazing!}  If you have any cooking or homemaking tips to share I would love to hear them!

 

 

 

 

Beauty and Happiness Quote

Beauty

“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” – Anne Frank

 

I think that this is a great quote on it’s own but it’s so much more powerful knowing it came from Anne Frank, a girl who knew adversity.  Beauty and happiness, I think they go well together too.

How to Find the Best Sunglasses for Your Face

Sunglasses

If you did not know this before, reading sunglasses are available in the hottest designer frames. Handy to bring to the beach, pool, or for sitting outside on a nice summer day, these glasses will give the appearance of standard sunglasses with the hidden aid of reading glasses.  How cool is that? These reading sunglasses can be found online at retailers like ReadingGlasses.com and in retail stores like Wal-Mart. However, if you are looking for the hottest in designer reading glasses for women, online is your best bet. Once you know your desired lens strength, it’s best to pick frame styles that best fit the shape of your face.  Here are some simple guidelines to go by:

Narrow
If you are a woman who has a narrow face, creating balance throughout your face should be a priority when it comes to choosing sunglasses. The best types of sunglasses for a narrow face are frames that have a straight top line. The angle from cat-eye glasses can help balance a narrow chin. Some styles, such as the Maui Jim Sandy Beach 408, also provide a rimless bottom for additional style.

Narrow-Average
A face that is only slightly narrow in certain areas, such as the chin or cheekbones, can wear styles that soften the contour of the face. This can be done with oval or square frames. The Maui Jim Makaha 405 provides a straight line at the top with oval lenses to balance out and narrow areas of the face, while still catering to the average part of the face.

Average
A woman with an average face can choose nearly any style of sunglasses she wants. Whether the frames are wide and full or thin and narrow, an average face can pull it off. The Maui Jim Honolulu 520 style sunglasses are an adventurous wraparound style that an average face would look great wearing.

Average-Full
Women will a slightly fuller face than average can still choose from many different styles of sunglasses. Styles such as the Maui Jim Longboard 222 work to balance fullness and provide great style.

Full
Women with a full shaped face will want to balance out the roundness and find a pair of sunglasses that give the illusion of a narrower face. Most women with a full face will want to look for sunglasses that are rectangular and have defined corners. A pair of sunglasses such as the Maui Jim Black Coral 249 provides a defined, angular shape that will make the face look a little longer.

To get more information and find a variety of options, visit a website like ReadingGlasses.com or do a Google search to find a highly rated shop.  There you can search for glasses that will best match the shape of your face, giving you the confidence to choose a great pair of sunglasses, all without leaving your living room!

DIY: Amplify Your iPod’s Sound for Free!

iphone in glass

Here’s a trick to amplify your iPod’s sound for free!

 

I heard that if you put your phone (or iPod) in a glass that it will make the music loud enough to fill the room!  I had to try it for myself and I couldn’t believe it, it actually works!

 

Here’s how you do it:

 

1- Grab an empty and clean glass from the kitchen

2- Grab your iPod or phone

3- Turn your favorite song on

4- Gently drop it in and voila – instant amp!

 

Go ahead and give it a try.  Just remember to make sure you use an empty glass! : )
