STICKING BUTTER

To keep butter from sticking
TO paddles and other wooden
utensils these should be thorough
ly rinsed Immediately before US
ing, first with hot water, then
with cold water. This fills the
pores of the wood with water and
prevents the butter sticking to
it. Wooden utensils should be
cleaned Immediately after using
so that the fat will not have an
opportunity to get into the pores
of the wood.
