Kitchen Quick Tips
Make it easy to remove spices and herbs like bay leaves, whole peppercorns and cloves from brines, soups and stews before serving by placing them in a spice packet for the cooking process. Cut a couple of squares of cheesecloth then place the spices and herbs in the middle. Bring the corners up and give a twist then secure tightly with kitchen twine and add the packet to the pot. When the dish is ready, simply remove the packet.
That's a really good idea. :-)
