We found this list and thought it was pretty nifty. Some of the tips are common knowledge and some we’d never heard of before, but we wanted to share. We’re nice like that.
Burned a pot of rice?
Just place a piece of white bread on top of the rice for 5-10 minutes to draw out the burned flavor. Be careful not to scrape the burned pieces off of the bottom of the pan when serving the rice.
To keep potatoes from budding in the bag, put an apple in with them.
When making a soup, sauce, or casserole that ends up too fatty or greasy, drop in an ice cube.
The ice will attract the fat, which you can then scoop out.
Don’t store your bananas in a bunch or in a fruit bowl with other fruits.
Separate your bananas and place each in a different location. Bananas release gases which cause fruits (including other bananas) to ripen quickly. Separating them will keep them fresh longer.
If you manage to have some leftover wine at the end of the evening, freeze it in ice cube trays for easy addition to soups and sauces in the future.
