Helpful Kitchen Tips and Tricks
.
1. For smelly hands after chopping onions or garlic, rub them on a stainless steel spoon. The steel will absorb the odor.
2. Over-salt a pot of soup? Drop in a peeled potato, it will absorb the excess salt.
3. Not sure if your eggs are fresh? 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.
4. When boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to keep the shells from cracking.
5. To keep potatoes from budding in the bag, put an apple in with them.
6. Making soup, sauce, or a casserole that is too fatty or greasy? drop in an ice cube. The ice will attract the fat, which you can then scoop out. Or, sweep a piece of bread over the top of the liquid – the oil will be attracted to the bread!
7. If your milk always goes bad before you can finish it, add a pinch of salt to the carton when you first open it, It’ll stay fresh days longer.
8. When storing empty airtight containers, throw in a pinch of salt to keep them from getting stinky.
9. Cottage cheese will remain fresher for longer, if you store it upside down in the refrigerator.
10. To prevent fat from splattering when frying sausage or bacon, try flouring them lightly.

Great idea with the apple in the potato bag, I’ll have to try it. Since there is only 2 of us it seems that we can’t eat all the potatoes fast enough before the start sprouting.
well that is helpful.

I found 6. Making soup, sauce, or a casserole that is too fatty or greasy? drop in an ice cube. The ice will attract the fat, which you can then scoop out. Or, sweep a piece of bread over the top of the liquid – the oil will be attracted to the bread! Very helpful. TFS.
Awesome tips. Thank you 🙂
Nice! TY
I am going to try all of them.
I knew about the apple in the potatoes but not about the others. Salt in milk? I will give it a shot.
Thanks!
Thanks for the great tips, these will come in handy…
Great tips! I’m going to try the cottage cheese one to see if it helps.
I love this tip:
1. For smelly hands after chopping onions or garlic, rub them on a stainless steel spoon. The steel will absorb the odor.
We love our garlic and onions but not the smelly hands. Thanks for the tip.
Ginger also works great to get rid of onion or garlic smells on your hands! I always chop those first and then chop my ginger.
