looking for some genius helpful kitchen tips and tricks? I tried a number of these, they work like a charm!
Helpful Kitchen Tips and Tricks
.
1. For smelly hands after chopping onions or garlic, rub them on a stainless steel spoon. The steel will absorb the odor.
2. Over-salt a pot of soup? Drop in a peeled potato, it will absorb the excess salt.
3. Not sure if your eggs are fresh? Place them in about four inches of water. Eggs that stay on the bottom are fresh. If only one end tips up, the egg is less fresh and should be used soon. If it floats, it’s past the fresh stage.
4. When boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to keep the shells from cracking.
5. To keep potatoes from budding in the bag, put an apple in with them.
6. Making soup, sauce, or a casserole that is too fatty or greasy? drop in an ice cube. The ice will attract the fat, which you can then scoop out. Or, sweep a piece of bread over the top of the liquid – the oil will be attracted to the bread!
7. If your milk always goes bad before you can finish it, add a pinch of salt to the carton when you first open it, It’ll stay fresh days longer.
8. When storing empty airtight containers, throw in a pinch of salt to keep them from getting stinky.
9. Cottage cheese will remain fresher for longer, if you store it upside down in the refrigerator.
10. To prevent fat from splattering when frying sausage or bacon, try flouring them lightly.

02/10/2012 at 5:48 pm#7 will never be a problem in my house. We go through milk so fast it’s ridiculous. Great tips!
Tammi says
02/10/2012 at 8:40 pmSame here Julia, I do know people that never seem to finish their milk though, before it goes bad. What’s that like? lol
Rita says
05/10/2014 at 12:16 pmI put my milk into creamer containers which hold around 1 quart and freeze it. There is only myself in the home and I hate to buy a half gallon of milk which is sometimes only fifty to seventy-five cents cheaper than a gallon.
And with turning the cottage cheese container upside down…always make sure the lid is on real, real tight…believe me, I can speak from experience.
Also, turning peanut butter upside down will keep the oils in it better distributed.
Nancy says
02/10/2012 at 8:12 pmNo freaking way. I’m definitely going to use # 5!!!

Denver internet marketing says
05/22/2012 at 10:02 amThese are all really great tips! I didn’t really know salt had so many additional uses to keep stuff fresh. I knew that in mass quantities it worked as a preservative, but I didn’t realize just a pinch would do. Great post thanks for sharing

Tara says
06/05/2012 at 8:48 amAwesome, I had no idea!
Jamie Goodwin says
06/06/2012 at 8:34 pmWhat makes the difference with the cottage cheese container, how do you know if its upside down or not. I mean what would make the difference besides the writing on the outside. LOL the top could be the bottom and vice versa….
mom says
06/11/2012 at 6:48 amI have been cooking for over 30 years but didn’t know about # 2.

Candlelight Obsession says
06/11/2012 at 1:59 pmWow, very helpful!!!!
Amy Louis says
06/21/2012 at 10:23 am#2 does not work. Cooks Illustrated did a big test on this a few years back. The potato does not absorb the salt. Once you’ve oversalted the soup, it’s pretty much going to stay salty. The only way to possibly salvage it is to try to mask the flavor with something else, like lemon juice, or doubling the recipe to dilute the salt.
This tip keeps getting passed around as gospel but it does not work.
carol j says
07/01/2012 at 7:33 amThese are great tips. Love these types of post. We could all use the tips or reminders.

The Weary Chef says
01/29/2013 at 11:36 pmI wish I had read #6 sooner! I made French Dip sandwiches tonight, and the au jus was way too oily. Next time I’ll drop an ice cube in the pot or use the bread trick in the dipping bowls before serving. Thanks for all the great tips.
Scarlet says
02/02/2013 at 7:36 am#1 was news to me! Really? I have always heard rub them on a lemon! Stumbled.
Christine H says
02/02/2013 at 10:30 amVery helpful! Thanks!
Pleasant says
02/02/2013 at 2:19 pmEggs can make you sick if eaten raw. This is because of what is on the outside of the shell. The shell is very porous do note that when you do place it in water ( same goes for washing eggs ) the harmful germs can very easily get inside the egg. I would check 1 egg and if all is ok then throw it away and use the others. My mom in law taught micro-biology and told me never to eat an egg that came into contact with water while inside the shell.
Crystal Walker says
02/08/2013 at 5:39 pmI DID NOT KNOW YOU COULD RUB STAINLESS STEAL TO REMOVE ONION SMELL, COOL

Jeannette Laframboise says
03/08/2013 at 5:33 pmI have heard a couple of these but certainly not all. I guess you really do learn something new every day…I would love to know how storing cottage cheese upside down makes it last longer. I love cottage cheese but I seldom buy it as I am the only one that likes it and then it ends up going bad. I will have to try that tip for sure. Thanks for posting!

03/16/2013 at 12:41 amGinger also works great to get rid of onion or garlic smells on your hands! I always chop those first and then chop my ginger.
Cindy Brickley says
03/16/2013 at 5:59 amI love this tip:
1. For smelly hands after chopping onions or garlic, rub them on a stainless steel spoon. The steel will absorb the odor.
We love our garlic and onions but not the smelly hands. Thanks for the tip.

Sherry Butcher says
03/27/2013 at 6:29 pmI found 6. Making soup, sauce, or a casserole that is too fatty or greasy? drop in an ice cube. The ice will attract the fat, which you can then scoop out. Or, sweep a piece of bread over the top of the liquid – the oil will be attracted to the bread! Very helpful. TFS.

Elva Roberts says
10/15/2013 at 10:33 amOctober 14-‘When boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to keep the eggs from cracking.’- This is a dandy hint. Often, when I boil eggs, I notice some of the white comes out from a crack and ruins the look of a boiled egg. Thanks for this useful tip.
Elva Roberts says
10/16/2013 at 12:57 pmOctober 16- My husband used to be a potato farmer, retired now. I have never heard that an apple in the bag with the potatoes will keep them from budding. He always has to bud in the late winter. -Maybe not this year!-Thank you.
Elva Roberts says
10/17/2013 at 4:17 pmOctober 17-I love cottage cheese and it never occurred to me to put it away in the frig upside down. You may be sure I will from now on!

Jacqueline says
12/04/2013 at 11:30 pmActually, potatoes don’t absorb the extra salt. They absorb liquid which has salt in it so they taste salty, too. You have to add a liquid, preferably milk or heavy cream.
jan says
12/09/2013 at 1:45 pmokay, now I need to research how salt keeps milk fresher longer!
Jodie Miller says

Darlene Demell says
08/05/2014 at 10:00 amI really like the tip of putting an apple in the bag to stop your potatoes from budding. We don’t eat enough potatoes here with just hubby and I and usually I end up with budding potatoes. I will have to try this one. Thanks for the tips.

05/19/2015 at 8:22 pmThese tips are so helpful that It should be required reading every few weeks so I could remember them. I will try to try one at a time.-especially the one about a little salt in fresh milk to keep it fresher longer. Thank you so much.

11/18/2015 at 7:18 pmI am so excited about tip #5. We love potatoes but always avoided buying big bags of it because we never finish them in time! I can’t wait to use the tip. Thanks for sharing!!

12/08/2015 at 10:23 amThe trick about flouring the bacon before frying is one I’ve never heard- must try! I love bacon but hate the mess it makes when frying.

12/20/2015 at 12:13 amthese are really good tips, have they all been tested. I’d be rubbing my hands on a spoon, I cook with garlic a lot.

01/08/2016 at 12:36 pmI knew about #1 and it works like a charm but lots of the others are new info for me. Definitely going to try the ice cube to get fat out of soup, that layer always yucks me out!

08/11/2016 at 5:41 pmI’m absolutely going to be using the apple in the potato bag trick! And do you know if using a potato to fix over-salting would work in a crockpot? I don’t make many soups, but I’ve oversalted my crockpot more times than I care to say…

11/23/2016 at 10:06 amOver-salt a pot of soup? Drop in a peeled potato, it will absorb the excess salt. Never heard this before: Wonder if this works for canned soups that have way to much salt for me? Can’t hurt to give it a try. Thanks for the tip
