Kraft Kitchens Tips

Cooking Know-How

The color of the lean part of fresh beef should be bright cherry-red. Beef is a dark, purplish-red color when first cut, but after cutting and exposure to air, the surface becomes bright red because of a reaction with oxygen.

Substitute

Substitute hot cooked rice for the spaghetti.
