Hi Sandhya,
The best way to boil milk without sticking is in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl. It may take you a few attempt to find out exactly how many minutes to make it boil, but after that, it is easy. Be sure you DO NOT stir the milk while it is cooking.
If you use the stove, you have to stir very frequently. One tip when using a steel pan to boil milk is to coat the inside with plain water before adding your milk. The water keeps the milk fat from sticking to the steel. You still have to keep stirring often. I have not tried this water trick on non-stick pans.

dear hetal n anuja,
hi there!
i am a great fan of your site and have fallen in love with the art of cooking,thanx to u.
i wanna know how to store health drinks like horlicks,etc once the seal of the bottle or pouch is opened since every time i tried keeping them in airtight containers,they still tend to form hard lumps which r impossible to break.Ihave wasted a lot of them so kindly advise how to store and use them.
Thanx…..happy navaratri,
love,
gayatri

Hi Gayatri,
There are a couple of things you can do to avoid moisture and lumps. First of all, do not store the air tight container in the refrigerator or in a cabinet directly above your stove. Second, do not keep a spoon in the container because when you add a spoonful of the powder to a cup of hot milk, the steam from the milk will get on the spoon. When you place the steamy spoon back into the container, it will form lumps. If you buy a pouch, you can consider storing the entire pouch in a ziploc bag.

Hi Anuja and Hetal,
Do you think you will ever show how to cut open a coconut and get out the coconut meat? I’ve tried and it seems like such a pain. I had hoped you might have a tip for an easier way. Thanks so much for adding a pinch of spice to our lives!

Hi Anuja/Hetal,
This tip is really great. I am big fan of Pineapples..infact it’s my favorite fruit, but i am not able to enjoy them as often ever since I came to States.
Just a quick question though. I was wondering which brand knives you used for cutting. i have wanted money twice on really crapy knives and this time I want to make wise investment. Please suggest!
Thanks

Hey, Buy Jinsu knive set. Though the set has lot of knives,their quality is best. The knife is sharp,sturdy and in different length depending on purpose. I have bought myself as well as gifted to many others.I think the price is slightly above to other brand.but it is a great investment. have got a broken knife after 3-4 years of use.

Just the other day I was lamenting how I have stopped eating pineapples because “they are so intimidating” (yes, my exact words too!) to cut. And I absolutely hate the sugary syrupy things they sell as pineapples in cans. Thanks a lot for this video! Just added pineapple to my grocery list

Enjoying your site. With the Pineapple – after taking off the top turn the pineapple upside down and let it rest for a day(on counter or in fridge) and this way all the juices that are in the bottom will come to the top making the whole pineapple more favourful and juicy.

Just wanted to add one thing, before you cut the pineapple, you make the pineapple in a sleeping position so that all the juice is spread across evenly and it taste juicer and better in the whole and not just at the bottom.
