Some Simple Trick You Don't Know by Ayoemrys(m): 2:11pm On Sep 24, 2018
KITCHEN TIPS FOR EVERY
WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!
1. If you happen to over-salt a pot
of soup, just drop in a peeled
potato. The potato will absorb the
excess salt.

2. When boiling eggs, add a pinch of
salt to keep the shells from
cracking.

3. Never put citrus fruits(Oranges,
Lemons, limes,
etc) or tomatoes in the fridge. The
low
temperatures degrade the aroma
and flavor of
these fruits.(That's why our
tomatoes don't last
in the fridge)

4. To clean iron cookl-ware, don’t
use detergents.
Just scrub them with salt and a
clean, dry paper
towel.

5. When storing empty airtight
containers, throw
in a pinch of salt to keep them from
getting
stinky.

6. If you are making gravy(stew) and
accidentally
burn it, just pour it into a clean pan
and continue
cooking it. Add sugar a little at a
time, tasting as
you go to avoid 'over-sugaring'it.
The sugar will
cancel out the burned taste.

7. Burned a pot of rice? Just place a
piece of
white bread on top of the rice for
5-10 minutes to
draw out the burned flavour. Be
careful not to
scrape the burned pieces off of the
bottom of the
pan when serving the rice.

8. Before you chop fresh red
peppers, rub a little
vegetable oil into your hands and
your skin won’t
absorb the spiciness.

9. If you aren’t sure how fresh your
eggs are,
place them in about four inches of
water. Eggs
that stay on the bottom are fresh. If
only one end
tips up, the egg is less fresh and
should be used
soon. If it floats, it’s past the fresh
stage.

10. To banish ants from the kitchen,
find out
where they are coming in and cover
the hole with
petroleum jelly(Vaseline). Ants
won’t trek through
the jelly. If they are coming under a
door, draw a
line on the floor with chalk. The
little bugs also
won’t cross a line of chalk.

11. Don’t store your bananas in a
bunch or in a
fruit bowl with other fruits.
Separate your
bananas and place each in a
different location.
Bananas release gases which cause
fruits
(including other bananas) to ripen
quickly.
Separating them will keep them
fresh longer.

12. To keep potatoes from budding
in the bag,
put an apple in with them.

13. If you manage to have some
leftover wine,
cocktail drinks at the end of the
evening, freeze it
in ice cube trays for easy addition
to sauces
(white wine works wonders in
sauces, i don't joke
with them) in the future.

14. After boiling pasta or potatoes,
cool the water
and use it to water your house
plants. The water
contains nutrients that your plants
will love.

15. When defrosting meat from the
freezer, pour
some vinegar over it. Not only does
it tenderize
the meat; it will also bring down the
freezing
temperature of the meat and cause
it to thaw
quicker. # Noteevery woman should
have vinegar
in her kitchen.

16. Do you cry while peeling off
onions, then try
this. After peeling off your onions,
refrigerate the
onions for atleast 5minutes, then
dice it. You will
be glad you did.

17. For aluminium pans that are
looking dull, just
boil some apple peels in them. This
will brighten
up the aluminum and make your
house smell
yummy.

18. If your salt is becoming lumpy,
put a few
grains of rice in with it to absorb
excess
moisture.

19. Always keep an aloe vera plant
in your
kitchen. It’s invaluable when you
scrape your arm
or burn your finger. Just break off a
leaf and rub
the gel from the inside on the
injury.

20. When making a soup, sauce,
that ends up too
fatty or greasy, drop in an ice cube.
The ice will
attract the fat, which you can then
scoop out.
This works wonders

21. To reuse cooking oil without
tasting whatever
was cooked in the oil previously,
cook a 1/4″
piece of ginger in the oil. It will
remove any

remaining flavors and odors.
22. If your milk always goes bad
before you can
finish it, try adding a pinch of salt to
the carton
when you first open it. It will stay
fresh days
longer.

23. If two drinking glasses become
stuck together
after stacking, it’s not impossible to
unstick
them. Just put ice in the inner glass
and dunk the
outer glass in warm water. The
warm glass will
expand and the cold glass will
contract, making
the glasses separate easily.

24. For splinters under the
fingernail, soaking the
affected finger in a bowl of milk
with a piece of
bread in it, it will help...
