12 quick cooking tips and tricks from housewives
1. If you flour your cookie cutters, they will come off the dough much more easily and you will be done faster.
2. Is the soup too salty? Don’t worry: just cook a large potato with it. It will absorb the salt and you won’t have to start your soup again.
3. To avoid having to clean the mixer, you can make a splash guard with a paper plate.
4. If you are using a garlic press, you don’t even need to peel the cloves. Just cut them in the middle, the peel will stick itself to the utensil.
5. For an additional work surface, just open a drawer and lay a large cutting board on top. You won’t be able to cut chops, but it is enough to cut vegetables.
6. Shower caps are more versatile than you might think. For example, you can use them as a reusable lid for bowls.
7. It is best to keep the cling film in the refrigerator. It is much easier to handle when it is cold.
8. Determining if an egg is still edible takes time. Take a glass of water: if the egg sinks, it is still fresh; if it floats slightly, it can still be eaten if it is well cooked; if it floats, it is rotten.
9. Homemade popcorn is a must have for any movie night. The only problem is when to collect the corn kernels that haven’t popped. If you soak the corn in water first, all the kernels will burst.
10. Potatoes will almost peel on their own if you boil them with the skin on and then rinse them in ice water.
11. There is also a trick for peeling the onions: run the onion under hot water for a short time. The skin is no longer so brittle and can be peeled off more easily.
12. When you don’t feel like cooking, it’s not uncommon to grab a frozen pizza. But how do you cook two pizzas at the same time without one crame on top and the other on the bottom? Cut them in half and place them on the baking sheet as follows to save space.
