Weekly Tips and Trivia #2

By WhenWeEat

Every week WhenWeEat brings you seven most awesome cooking tips and food trivia to ease the pressure in your culinary world. Following are this week’s tips and trivia presented to you by Red Chilli and Green Chilli aka the authors of WhenWeEat:
1. During frying, the oil has to be at correct temperature. The food will absorb more oil if the temperature is below the required level. However, if the oil is heated too much, then the outer part of the food will brown up even when the inside is yet to be cooked properly.

2. Cinnamon is an excellent natural remedy for stomach flu. It is extremely effective against certain strains of E.coli bacteria. In an experiment when a teaspoon of cinnamon was added in apple juice (that contained E. coli), it was found that as many as 99.5% of the bacteria were destroyed in just 3 days.
