9 very useful tips to use in the kitchen
The kitchen, as we know, is not only where exquisite dishes are prepared, but also where food and cooking utensils are stored away.
In short, a kitchen needs to be organised properly. For some, this may seem very complicated or difficult to do. In reality, it's just a matter of experience and knowing about a few useful tips.
In this regard, we have selected for you, below, some tips and tricks that could really simplify things for you in the kitchen. Check out these pointers by reading on:
A problem we often have with using bottles of oil is not being able to dose correctly. One thing that can be done with the plastic ones - which are typical of certain oils but also of vinegar and other products - is to remove the part of the cap that looks like a tab and turn it upside down by fitting it into the top of the lid. In this way, only small slits will remain open which will regulate the oil flow and allow you to dose food properly.
When you cut up onions and can't get the smell off your hands, try cutting a potato in half and rubbing it on your hands. It will neutralize the smell perfectly.
Cutting up chillies requires skill, in the sense that they should always be held by the stem and touched as little as possible, especially the insides. If you really can't, however, avoid coming into contact with the seeds and the "burny" parts, to prevent your hands from burning, put some oil on them and rub it in.
To properly preserve packaged cheeses, ensure you wrap it up before putting it back in the fridge. To do this, use the original packaging (which you have cut off neatly, of course).
To avoid wasting oil and be able to dose correctly - especially when you need to grease pans, plates and frying pans - try transferring the oild into a spray container. You will immediately see how handy this is.
If you want to preserve fruits and vegetables that are already cut up, all you have to do is keep the top parst of the vegetable in question, cut off what you need and reattach the tops using a toothpick. The food will keep for longer and you will be able to avoid creating waste.
