Its sharp edge easily scrapes out seeds from veggies. - If a dish you’ve cooked turns out to be unexpectedly rich, you can easily remove excess fat using a couple of ice cubes and a paper towel. - Cold food wrap behaves better, sticking and tearing less, leading to less of that familiar feeling of exasperation. - Add soda or vinegar to the water you boil the eggs in. These substances get inside the shells and make it easier to peel them off. - To squeeze the last drops out of a lemon, first cool the fruit in the fridge. And then zap it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. - The freezer will help you here, too. Put the onions in for 30 minutes before chopping them. - When your roast a chicken whole, lay it on its breast. The breast contains most of the meat; the closest it is to the source of heat, the quicker it will cook through. - When warming up pizza or other baked items in the microwave, put a cup of water in alongside it. - If you freeze herbs in an ice-cube tray, their vitamin content is preserved. Try freezing them in water or olive oil. #cookingshacks #cleaningtips #cookingtips Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook:   / brightside   Instagram:   / brightgram   5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/ Learn more about your ad choices.
