Grill Fish On Top Of Citrus

To keep fish from sticking to the pan or grill, fry on a plate of fresh citrus.
Try salmon slices on lemon slices or sole on orange slices. For a more
intense flavor try salmon on lemon slices or sole as opposed to salmon
with olive and lime slices.


Cut Meat Into Thin Slices For Stir-Fries

Does your stir-fry ever really look the same as when you ordered takeout?
While slicing veggies is easy, beef or chicken can be tough to produce without
an infomercial knife–unless you partially freeze it first. Freezing for 30 minutes
should do the trick.


Extend the Life of Your Bananas by Wrapping the Stems

The wrapping aids in supplying organic oxygen to the fruit’s stem.
If it escaped then it spread all across bananas and accelerated ripening.
Wrapped each leaf in polyethylene foil keeps the fruit yellow long.
The wrappings contain an additional element of natural gas produced by ethylene.


Shake Garlic Cloves In A Mason Jar To Slip The Skins Off

Control the mess and speed up peeling a pile of garlic cloves by separating them,
popping the cloves in two mason jars, and screwing on their lids. Give each jar a
good shake so that your skins should slide right off without you having to peel any
single one! You can also use this method with two equal-sized bowls one inverted
over top of another.


Poach Multiple Eggs At A Time

In a Muffin Tin



Make Tiny Portions Of Whipped Cream

Ever need just a dollop of whipped cream to make your strawberry shortcake shine?
Reach for the immersion blender that fits neatly into a tumbler or measuring cup.
The single-serving quickens the process and minimizes the whipped cream mess with larger bowls.


Fill An Ice Tray With Coffee

Stop diluting your energy boost with standard ice cubes. Instead, freeze an ice cube
tray filled with your favorite coffee blend so you can cool down without watering down
the taste of your drink. Or use your coffee ice cubes to make a delicious iced coffee.
Another option? Freeze fruit juice in ice cube trays and use them to flavor drinks.


If you forgot to pull the butter out of the fridge to cool down (Ed. Warm it up!)

...do not worry. You’re able to make it (Ed. your recipe!) easier if you chop it (Ed. the butter!)
into smaller pieces. Bonus points unless you place this in a hot place in your kitchen! Arrange
it on a plate then nuke for 10 seconds on high.


Repurpose Your Pizza Cutter

The wheel of a pizza cutter is perfect for cutting herbs in all directions. Bunch them up
and use the blade to back and forth until you’ve reached your desired consistency.
Or try placing the herbs on a cutting board and rolling over them with the cutter.


Rinse Rice With Water Before Cooking It

You’ll get a much better end product if you rinse the rice in a bowl or quickly run it
through a strainer first. This removes the surface starch (Ed. Most USA rice has
already had this layer removed) that can otherwise make rice clump together and
become gummy as it cooks. After all who likes mushy rice?


Use Vinegar To Easily Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

This kitchen hack will help you peel hard-boiled eggs with ease! The secret ingredient in this
hack is a 1/4 cup of vinegar and a dash of salt. These two ingredients allow the shell to break
off into large chunks instead of tiny eggshell shards, which makes it easier to eat them.


Store Lettuce To Last A Month

Have you ever dug into a delicious salad only to find that your lettuce has gone soggy?
This kitchen hack guarantees crisp and fresh lettuce. Not only that, but it may keep the
cabbage nice and crispy for an entire month! Just simply wrap your head of lettuce in
aluminum foil before storing.


Get More Juice When Juicing

Next time you want some freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice, use this quick kitchen hack
that will help increase how much gets into your cup. Microwaving makes citrus fruits easier
than ever to squeeze every last drop out. All you have to do is microwave them first. Place them
in there for about 7-10 seconds, then roll them around underneath pressed palms on a hard surface.


Dry Meat Before Searing It To Rid Excess Moisture

Meat can carry a layer of moisture on the outside, so it’s important to get rid of that if you want the
cleanest, sharpest sear when the protein hits the hot pan. The quickest way? Pat, it dry first with
a paper towel.


Prevent Freezer Burn When Storing Ice Cream

Place a piece of wax paper over ice cream before placing your ice cream back into your fridge or stash
it in the deep freeze to keep that delectable treat safely from frostbite and icy bites for longer than ever.
Simply place an airtight sheet between your dessert’s container and its wrapper (or lid) while storing away
inside either cold environment.
