Kitchen Hacks - Part 2

Welcome back to our series of kitchen hacks! In this edition, we'll share more clever tips and tricks to make your time in the kitchen easier and more efficient. Let's dive in!

1. Easy Garlic Peeling

Peeling garlic can be a tedious task. Make it easier by putting the garlic cloves in a jar and shaking vigorously. The cloves will rub against the sides of the jar, causing the peels to fall off effortlessly.

2. Lemon Juice Ice Cubes

Squeeze fresh lemon juice into an ice cube tray and freeze it. These lemon juice ice cubes are perfect for adding a burst of flavor to drinks like water, tea, or cocktails without diluting them.

3. Ripen Avocados Quickly

If you need ripe avocados in a hurry, place them in a brown paper bag with a banana or apple. These fruits release ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening process of avocados.

4. Fresh Herbs Preservation

To keep fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil fresh for longer, trim the ends and place them in a glass of water like a bouquet. Cover the top loosely with a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator.

5. Prevent Overboiling

To prevent pots from boiling over, simply place a wooden spoon across the top of the pot. The spoon will pop the bubbles and prevent the water from spilling over.
