Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Roast Poblano Chiles

Arrange whole poblano chiles on foil-covered baking sheet. Broil, 2 to 4 inches from heat, until chiles are completely blackened, turning occasionally. Place in a paper bag; close bag. Let stand 20 min. or until chiles are completely cooled. Remove chiles from bag. Using a small knife, peel away blackened skins; discard. Cut chiles lengthwise in half; remove and discard seeds.

How to Prevent Pork from Curling

Score the fat in 1-inch intervals around each uncooked pork chop to prevent it from curling.
