5 Lesser-Known Kitchen Hacks To Make Life Easy

Freshen Wooden Cutting Boards

Sprinkle coarse salt over the surface of a wooden cutting board, then scrub with half a lemon to remove stains and odours, leaving it fresh and clean.

Prevent Browning of Avocado

After cutting an avocado, brush the exposed flesh with lemon juice or olive oil to prevent it from browning due to oxidation.

Easily Peel Hard-Boiled Eggs

Add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water when boiling eggs to help the shells separate more easily from the cooked eggs, making them easier to peel.

Extend the Life of Herbs

Preserve fresh herbs by placing them in ice cube trays, covering them with olive oil or water, and freezing them. This way, you'll have flavourful herbs ready to use whenever you need them.

Revive Crystallised Honey

Place the container of crystallised honey in a bowl of warm water or microwave it in short bursts to liquify it again, restoring its smooth texture without losing its flavour.
