How to crush Rice Krispies

Crushing Rice Krispies is easy. Crushing them without having them end up everywhere is a bit harder. Unless you do something like this.

It’s pretty obvious from that first picture, but … Pour the cereal into a zip-top bag.

Squeeze all the air out as you seal it.

This step is actually pretty important. If you leave it inflated like a balloon, it will pop like a balloon when you …

Roll the bag with a rolling pin.

Go back-and-forth over the bag until you reach the right level of crushed-ness.

And that’s it.

    This also works really well for crushing crackers. My grandmother taught me to do it this way.

    Cooking used to be all about making food that tasted good. But somewhere along the way, we seem to have decided the diet-of-the-week was more important. How to Cook Like Your Grandmother is a return to recipes and techniques that are based on what tastes good, not on junk science and fad diets. You won't find the words lite, low, lean, free or skim anywhere. This is all real food, cooked the way Grandma would have done it.

    People have been making and eating food as long as there have been people. And food. But somehow we've let ourselves believe that it's something only experts can do "right". That's where Starting From Scratch comes in. I'm not saying you'll go from zero to hero just by reading it, but at least now you'll know what those self-proclaimed experts are talking about.
