I’ve had people ask me how I get some of the meats I cook so tender.
i.e. Chicken Breast , Pork Chops, Steaks, Salmon… just about anything. BEST way ever is..
BAKING SODA!!!! (maybe some know this already) if you don’t you’re missing out.
Once you’ve washed your meat , lightly sprinkle baking soda on both sides. (I either poke the box with a fork to shake or transfer to a shaker to make easier)
Let it sit for 10 minutes. No longer- RINSE OFF !!! Then pat dry (I use paper towels) cook/season as you normally would. CHANGES EVERYTHING!!
Oh my gosh the first time I made sweet and sour chicken, it melted in my mouth, whereas many times the chicken just didn’t seem tender “enough” for my liking.
Enjoy ❤

Update on 71 Mart happenings.

Because of the coronavirus we have taken precautions to help keep everyone safe. We have put up the plexiglass and sanitize everything as much as possible. Our hours right now are from 6:30 AM to 7:30 PM

Fishing opener and Mother’s Day are just around the corner. Remember to come in or go online to get your fishing license. Right now we have rainbow and crappie minnows and wax worms with more bait to follow.

We have also started up our Broaster to go Chicken. Call 218-586-3420 to have a bucket of chicken hot and ready for you to pick up. Limited hours so call ahead first.

Keep safe and enjoy the summer. Like and share.

To all of our 71 Mart customers. Because of situation we are in right now about the coronavirus we have cut back our help and decided to also cut back store hours. We will now open at 6:30 and close at 6:30 every day until things get better. Sorry for the inconvenience but hopefully this will all end soon.

God bless and take care.
