I've seen cooking tips all over the Board, many in different threads for the cooking section. I am sure I heard this tip in here somewhere, but I couldn't find it when I looked. Figured maybe we all could post our favorite cooking tips/shortcuts/time-savers/mess-avoiders in one place. I used this tip for the first time tonight, and it is my new favorite for tenderizing meat: When pounding flour into meat you are tenderizing, use an oven-roasting bag. Put your flour, salt and pepper into the bag, shake, then put in the meat you are tenderizing. Hold the end closed, and start pounding. No more flour all over the counter, the floor, or yourself. Also, the leftover flour is easily saved for gravy. I finally found a use for my oven bags that are too small for turkeys!! I beat the crap out of the round steak I made into Swiss steak for dinner (forgot to get it tenderized at the store), and the roasting bag didn't show the vaguest sign of stress. Cleanup was a breeze.
