The kitchen can be a crazy and chaotic place if you don’t know how to handle the equipment and yourself in there. Every foodie should have a few kitchen tips and tricks up the sleeves that will save them time and make their kitchen experience more pleasant. Here are some kitchen tips to try out.

1.    Blend Your Blender To Clean It

There’s a simple trick to cleaning your blender without having to stick your entire hand and risk getting snips. Just add soapy water and put it on the mortar then switch it on. Leave it for 30 seconds then rinse it out. Before you know it, your blender will be squeaky clean and your hands will be safe.

2.    Test Your Egg’s Freshness With Water

Eggs are one of those foods that are quite hard to tell if they’re fresh or not. Therefore, you need a few kitchen tips to help. If you remember your primary school science experiment, then you’re probably familiar with this test. Generally, fresh eggs sink in water while rotten eggs float.

3.    Heat Stainless Steel Pans Correctly

In case you’re wondering why your food always sticks to the pan, it’s because you’re not heating the pan the right way. The longer food sits over the heat, it loses moisture hence sticks. Additionally, stainless steel pans tend to be heavier than other pans hence require more time to heat up. Place it over heat for around 1 minute then test how hot it is using some water.

4.    Use Lemon Juice To Get Rid Of Onion And Garlic Smells

You’ve been cooking up a delicious meal in the kitchen and now, your hands smell like onions and garlic. Washing it ten times won’t make much of a difference. Grab a lemon instead, slice it and rub it all over your hands. This will instantly get rid of that unpleasant smell and give you a fresh, citrusy scent. 10 Health Benefits Of Adding Garlic To Your Food

5.    Make Burnt Rice With A Piece Of Bread

Sometimes, we get distracted and end up burning the food. Can you imagine starting all over again? it’s a kitchen nightmare but you don’t have to worry because these kitchen tips are here to rescue you. Salvage your burnt rice by placing a slice of white bread on top of the rice and leave for 5 to 10 minutes. This will draw out the burnt flavour.

6.    Invest In Some Tongs

Spatulas are good and all but tongs will save you a whole lot of hassle. For things like pancakes and eggs, a spatula is still the preferred tool to use. However, for meats, tongs do a better job. They’re less awkward and prevent splashing since you can place your food down gently as opposed to using a spatula.

7.    Always Make A Shopping List

Write down your weekly grocery list to make your work easier while shopping. Making a shopping list will help you buy what’s necessary and plan your meals accordingly. This will also help you budget and stick to it.
