For those who don't want to waste a lot of time in the kitchen, there are some essential techniques you should know. Among these great methods, I'd like to share a few easier and simpler ones.
If you want to cut potatoes quickly
First, cut the potato in half. Then, slice the potato half using an apple slicer. This way, you can slice the potatoes in just a matter of seconds.
If you want to ripen unripe bananas
First, arrange the bananas on a tray to go into the oven. Then, bake them in an oven at 170°F for about 20 minutes. When 20 minutes is up, flip the bananas over to the other side and bake them in the oven for another 20 minutes or so.
If you want to keep spring onions fresh for a long time
First, cut off about an inch from the tough, overripe bottom end of the spring onions. Then, place the spring onions in a glass jar filled with about 2 inches of water. After that, tie the tips of the spring onions with a plastic bag. Then, put them in the refrigerator. This way, they'll keep for up to 2 weeks. Just before you plan to use them, wash them and you can fry or cook them.
If you want to peel potatoes quickly
If you, the reader, are a potato lover, you should definitely know this method. First, put water in a pot, add the potatoes, and boil them until the water starts bubbling. Then, take the potatoes out of the hot water and immediately transfer them into ice water filled with plenty of ice cubes. After soaking for about 20 seconds, you can easily peel the skin off those potatoes.
