1.
"You can use the bottom of some wine bottles as a homemade ravioli press. The bottom of this J. Lohr wine bottle (as well as any similar-shaped bottle) makes a great press." -
2.
"Crinkle your foil before making chicken nuggets, frozen potatoes, etc. It makes for easy flipping and helps the food to not get stuck. I discovered this by accident/being cheap. Hope it helps somebody out there!" -
3.
"Canned tomato paste hack. Open both ends of the can, then push the contents out. Voilà." -
4.
"For a nearly endless green onion hack, save the white ends (with the roots attached) of your green onions and place them in a jar of water somewhere that gets sunlight. "Spring onions in water work almost too well. Infinite greens!"" -
5.
"If you've got instant coffee on hand, "Silicone coffee lids are a perfect fit for many tinned products!"" -
6.
"Wrap a piece of lettuce around one side of your sandwich or burger to keep the goods from falling out the other side when you take a bite." -
7.
"A loose leaf tea steeper is the best way to evenly sprinkle flour on a surface, cornstarch on proteins, and icing sugar on desserts." -
8.
"To extend the shelf life of herbs like cilantro, "We put a paper towel on the bottom of a container, rinsed and untied our cilantro, put another paper towel on top, then sealed it in the container. Wow! This cilantro is 2 weeks old. We went on vacation and came back to it looking as if it was picked today. An absolute revolution for herbs."" -
9.
"I think I discovered the best way to mince garlic — with a meat tenderizer! I put a ziplock bag on top of the garlic and hit it four to five times, and presto!" -
10.
"Storing an avocado with onion in the refrigerator keeps the avocado fresh for days. I learned this by accident and found out it's actually a thing*." "The onion releases sulfur, which causes a chemical reaction that prevents oxygen from interacting with the enzymes in the avocado and, thus, keeps it from browning." -
11.
"If you want to keep a salad fresh days after making it, put a paper towel on top of it, right under the lid. It'll absorb moisture. The picture on the right is on day four." -
12.
"Cook grilled cheese in a waffle iron. It gets crispy, and the holes hold extra soup." -
13.
"Use a cheese grater when you need to spread cold butter on cold things or in pie dough." -
14.
"Cut celery and place it in water for storage. Lasts longer and stays crispier." -
15.
"To keep your sandwich from getting soggy and the toppings from sliding over the place, put the slippery ones (like pickles, tomatoes, onions, etc.) inside the deli meat like a little envelope:" -
16.
"Don’t have a cake dome? Use a plastic container upside down to store it." -
17.
"Use Mason jar lids to get the perfect patty shape when making black bean burgers, eggs, or anything similar." -
18.
"When making stocks, stews, or sauces, use a tea infuser for your herbs. "It's super useful for getting the most out of the broken bits of bay leaf at the bottom of the bag."" -
19.
"For more control when using oil in recipes or to grease a pan, "Reuse empty sriracha containers as twist-top cooking-oil dispensers."" -
20.
"Use a lemon juicer to make the perfect smashed potatoes that get extra crispy." -
21.
"Hear me out: A ramen packet makes awesome popcorn seasoning! Mix the powder with some melted butter or margarine and then toss with the popcorn. Add chili powder for an extra kick." -
22.
When trying to get sauce out of a pouch (such as with this mac 'n' cheese), use the lid of your pot to easily squeeze out every last bit of it."
