What the Top Chefs Don't Want You to Know, or do!
Ever wanted to know how to make a perfect turkey, but didn't
know where to look? The top chefs won't tell you, but pengo.org will!
These tricks aren't in any recipe books! Learn how the top chefs give
their dishes the mouth-watering touch. And you can achieve the same
perfection at home!
Breakfast
- Cereal: Make the perfect bowl of cereal: simply empty out a box of Cornflakes on to the kitchen table. With a pair of tweezers pick out the nicest ones for the top of the bowl. The kids will love their perfect cereal!
- Milk: Use Elmer's Glue instead of milk. Looks great and doesn't go bad!
- Waffles: Stop syrup soaking in: Spray your waffles with Scotch Guard.
Drinks
- Make cold drinks look colder! Spray sugar-water onto the glass for that beads of water look. Fill a dropper with glycerine to place those bigger drops. Glycerine neither evaporates nor drips down the side of glass. Perfect!
- Ice cubes melt too quickly! Replace with polished acrylic ice cubes.
- Bubbles disappear too quickly? Use Photo-Flo or liquid dish washing liquid for longer lasting bubbles!
- Or too many bubbles? A simple glass of water sometimes has bubbles you just don't want. But there's an easy solution. Use bubbleless vinegar instead!
Appetisers
- Bread: Purchase a dental toolkit with tiny medical tweezers for positioning individual sesame seeds or poppy seeds. You can move grains of pepper too! -- You won't know how you did without them!
- Soups: Avoid dull looking soups. Place a glass shelf or marbles to the bottom of the soup bowl to keep chunky vegetables near the surface. Suddenly that canned soup looks more appetising.
- Sweetcorn: Buy some plastic ears of sweetcorn that come with interior tubing and holes through which water can squirt. Make your sweetcorn look so fresh and juicy that water shoots out when teeth bite into it!
Deserts
- Ice cream quickly loses its frozen look and becomes shiny. Finely-mashed potatoes, coloured appropriately with colouring will usually pass as the real thing -- A healthy alternative the kids will love!
- Fruits: Want your fruit to look fresh and juicy? It's easy: Inject them with fruit juice! Use a doctor's hypo-needle. Works for roasts too!
- Cakes: Remember: Cakes are impossible to make perfect, unless you make them from Styrofoam!
- Pies: Whipped cream toppings are great, but shaving cream is longer lasting -- a perfect substitute!

Mains
- Vegetables: Keep brushing vegetable oil onto your vegetables until just before they're served. This will stop them ever looking dry!
- Chicken: Is that chicken looking cold before it's even served? Blow smoke through a straw while everyone's eating. Need a quicker solution? Place dry ice under the chicken pieces for natural looking smoke!
- Charcoal Grilled Hamburgers: It's impossible to make those black grill marks perfect, but with a blowtorch and some black/brown paint you won't be far from it!
- And what about that Turkey? Stuff it with soggy paper towels. Keep the skin in place with Super Glue. And that nice golden colour? It's easy, with a mixture of oil and angostura bitters! You'll make a turkey just like the one pictured in no time!
