If you know the right ways to store and use kitchen vegetables, food items, and utensils along with cooking knowledge, it will definitely save you time.

So, here are some useful tips for housewives and those who love cooking.

Potatoes and Onions

Cooking potatoes and onions together is extremely delicious. However, if you store them together, they tend to spoil quickly because they release moisture. So, potatoes and onions should be stored separately.

Green Vegetables

Green vegetables should not be stored in plastic bags. If stored that way, the lack of air circulation will cause the vegetables to wilt and rot. So, keep them in well-ventilated paper bags or perforated containers instead. Also, vegetables should be cooked and eaten within a day or two of purchase.

Ice Cubes from Ice Trays

Once ice cubes freeze, they become hard to remove from the tray. So, before pouring water into the tray, place a small piece of plastic in it first. Then pour the water and freeze it in the freezer.

If you want the ice to freeze faster, use hot boiled water instead of plain or cold water. Hot water helps the ice freeze more quickly.

When Boiling Milk

Milk should only be boiled once. Boiling it repeatedly destroys the nutrients in the milk, so it will no longer provide health benefits.

When Frying Potatoes

If you want your fried potatoes to be nice and crispy, soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes before frying. This will make the fries taste crispier and more delicious.

If You Want to Reuse Cooking Oil

Reusing oil that has already been used for frying fish or cooking repeatedly is harmful to health. If you must use it out of necessity, add slices of ginger to the oil and fry them. Remove the ginger once it turns golden brown. The ginger will help remove odors from the oil. Afterward, store the oil in a tightly sealed glass jar.

When Peeling Boiled Eggs

Once the eggs are boiled, soak them in cold water for about 5 minutes. Doing this will make it easier and faster to peel the shells off.

When Your Hands Are Stained from Spices

After cutting potatoes, rub the stained hand to remove the stains.

To Avoid the Burning Sensation After Cutting Chili Peppers

Before cutting chili peppers, apply oil to both palms. This will help prevent your hands from feeling a burning sensation from the chili.
