Kitchen Swap It


 
Sometimes a recipe calls for a certain ingredient or item that we may not have on hand.  So, "If not on hand....if you can…. SWAP IT”! 
 
Double Boiler: Is a certain type of pot that allows the water to simmer in the bottom of the pan, without allowing it to touch the top pan; food, such as chocolate or a delicate sauce, sits in the top pan to prevent it from scorching which can occur from direct heat.

The Swap: A glass bowl (that can sustain heat) inside a pot.  Simply add water to the bottom of the pot and place a glass bowl that will fit firmly into the pot but won’t get stuck and does not touch the water in the pan.
