Life Hacks That Can Help You Solve Your Kitchen Issues https://echowoven.com/life-hacks-that-can-help-you-solve-your-kitchen-issues/ Thu, 30 Dec 2021 23:28:03 +0000 https://echowoven.com/?p=28624 Bad odors in the refrigerator, old cookies, and microwaved food that isn’t evenly warm. All of these little disasters are easily avoidable with a few basic life hacks. And you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make your kitchen look professional. All of these solutions are right in front of you.

Heating food evenly in the microwave

You might notice that after heating your food in a microwave the middle is not very hot, while the edges of your plate are. This happens because microwaves are sending radio waves to your food, but don’t heat it from underneath like ovens do.

To prevent heating your leftovers unevenly, just make a ring with your food. This little trick will help you to enjoy an evenly hot meal. Bon appetite!

Making your knife sharp again, using a cup

Kitchen knives also require additional care and often get dull. If you don’t have a special sharpener, take a mug and turn it over. Now you can sharpen the knife on the edge of the mug at a 45° angle!

Saving a grater from a deep cleaning

If you are tired of cleaning the grater every time after using it, a piece of regular, not-so-thin polyethylene can help you. Cover your cooking equipment with it and start rubbing products you want to grate on it. After that, you can simply throw out the polythene and the grater will remain clean.

Getting rid of bad smells from plastic and glass jars, using newspaper

When a jar continues smelling bad, even after you’ve washed it, it’s time to use a special, but still simple, trick. Newspapers can absorb bad odors. Take several sheets of newspaper and crumple them up. Then put them inside the jar or plastic container. Now leave it for 24-48 hours.

Getting rid of a bad smell in your fridge, by leaving baking soda in it

Rotten vegetables and fruits, spoiled soup, and old chicken can leave a bad smell in your fridge for a long time. If you want to prevent it and get rid of the odor, put a box of baking soda in your fridge. It doesn’t have a smell by itself, but it’s very good for absorbing smells.

Cutting your fingers while chopping veggies is frustrating. To avoid this, you can quickly construct your own finger guard. And you only need a plastic bottle and a rubber band. Take a normal plastic bottle (like a Coke or a water bottle) and cut a piece from the top of the bottle, like shown in the picture. Then make 2 holes on the edges and insert the rubber band. Now you can use it by putting this guard on your fingers while chopping.
