From the Kitchen of Chef Boyar-T

Ok ok I got these from www.newsnet5.com...Top 5 Kitchen Mistakes!

Kitchen Mistake No. 1: Loading up on produce. The longer fruits and vegetables sit in your fridge, the more they lose vital nutrients.

Kitchen mistake No. 2: Being an overzealous peeler. When you take the skin off your veggies, you're throwing away some potent cancer fighters. Protective chemicals called antioxidants help protect against cancer and they're found in the skin of fruits and veggies.

Kitchen mistake No. 3: Failing to give your garlic a time out. After mincing, chopping or crushing garlic, let it sit for 10 minutes before tossing into pan. When you break up garlic, a cancer-fighting compound called allyl sulfur begins to form, but it takes a little time for this enzyme reaction to be completed. So a few minute's wait is worth it.

Kitchen mistake No. 4: Forgetting to wash before you peel. Before you eat a banana - do you wash it? You should! Peel and eat fruit like bananas, cantaloupe and oranges can carry bacteria and chemical residues. Give them all a bath before peeling or cutting into them.

Kitchen mistake #5: Boiling vegetables. If you're still boiling your veggies - you're boiling away a lot of their nutritional value.
