Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Although a fork will work, a hand-held potato masher or potato ricer makes short work of mashing bananas. The best bananas for baking have at least some brown speckles on the skin.
  • tip 2
    Wheat germ has a high oil content. Store it in the refrigerator to prevent spoiling.
