Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper, and place on microwavable plate; microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.
  • tip 2
    To ripen bananas quickly, place them in a paper bag at room temperature for 1 to 2 days.
