Do you get stress from cooking, is your countertop always a mess or are you just not much of a kitchen princess? Save time, frustration and clutter with these culinary tricks. Here you will find 9 kitchen hacks for food storage.
1. Put something back in the bottle or jar without spilling? Cut the tip of a coffee filter for a quick disposable funnel.
2. Always servings of homemade dressing up for grabs? Make ice cubes out of it.
3. Weak bunches of coriander, parsley or basil? They stay fresh for a week in a glass of water with a taut sandwich bag over it.
4. Don't want black, overripe bananas? Put a little cling film around the stems:this will slow down the ripening process. Do you want advanced copies? Store them in a paper bag so that the released substance ethylene accelerates ripening. And another hack:it is best to peel a banana from bottom to top
5. Do you often heat up leftovers in the microwave? Before freezing, make a circle in the center of your containers. This distributes the heat better and your food is heated up faster.
6. Put a slice of bread in your cookie jar. Your cookies stay fresh and delicious for longer because the bread absorbs moisture.
7. No more stiff stirring to get the oil mixed in your peanut butter, tahini or nut butters again. Just keep the jar upside down.
8. Store cling film in the refrigerator. The foil will tear less quickly when cold and you will find the beginning faster.
