Kitchen Tricks

·         To prevent coconut oil from freezing in winters, add a little castor oil to it.

·         Store ginger under the soil to keep it fresh and take it out when needed.

·         To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

·         To get more juice out of fresh lemons, bring them to room temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter before squeezing.

·         Potatoes will remove food stains off your fingers. Just slice and rub raw potato on the stain and rinse with water.

·         To avoid tears in the eyes while chopping onions, soak them in cold water with their skins on for some time before cutting them.

·         To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool salted water. If it sinks, it is fresh. If it rises to the surface, throw it away.

·         To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.

·         If you have a problem opening jars: Try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

·         If you accidentally over-salted a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato -it absorbs the excess salt.

·         Used coffee powder and tea leaves are good for cleaning greasy vessels.

·         While cleaning vessels for better results, add a handful of common salt to the cleaning powder.

·         To easily remove burnt-on food from your frying pan, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, and bring to a boil on the stove-top. Frying pan will be much easier to clean.

·         Do not throw away the skin of cardamoms. Mix it with tea leaves to get a cardamom flavour in your tea.
