Preparing fresh coconut. Instead of using a grater, put
the coconut through the meat chopper (grinder). It comes
out light and fluffy and can be done in a few seconds.
A spoonful of flour added to a fruit filling for pie, or any
other wet mixture will not become lumpy if mixed with the
same amount of sugar before adding. The same is true
of cornstarch in making desserts or gravies.
