Homemakers who step into the kitchen certainly don't want to waste a lot of time there. Nobody wants to end up throwing away fruits and food bought from the market because they went bad. What everyone wants is for food to stay fresh for a long time. So this time, we'd like to share some useful kitchen secrets for homemakers.
When you want fruits and vegetables to stay fresh for a long time
Mix a lemon in with those fruits and vegetables. They will stay fresh for a longer time.
Potatoes and onions
Potatoes and onions are foods that don't like light. Put them together in a basket and keep them either in a drawer or in a cupboard.
To stop potatoes from sprouting
If you've bought a lot of potatoes and want to keep them for a long time, mix an apple in with the potatoes.
How to keep apples fresh
When you cut an apple in half intending to eat only half of it, you'll notice that the uneaten half turns yellow. This happens because the iron content in the apple reacts with oxygen in the air. If you wrap the apple with plastic wrap, the iron won't react with the oxygen, so it won't turn yellow or wilt, and you'll be able to eat it fresh.
If you want meat to be more tender and flavorful
You can use coarse ground coffee. The acid content in coarse coffee grounds can help make meat more tender and tasty. Mix coarse coffee grounds, vinegar, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and a little water, and stir well. Then rub the coffee mixture evenly into the meat you want to cook. Let it soak for 30 minutes to 4 hours so the coffee mixture can seep into the meat. This way, when you cook the meat, it will be easier to tenderize, more fragrant, and more flavorful.
What to do before slicing chicken thinly
Put the chicken in a sealed bag and place it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. Once the time is up, take it out of the freezer and you can slice it thinly. This method makes it much easier to slice chicken thinly.
