SUMMARY:
- If you’re a fan of marshmallows, then you should know how to keep them soft and tasty. All you have to do is put them in a jar with brown sugar.
- Want an ice-cream that won’t be a threat to your weight? Just put a stick in a cup of yogurt and let it freeze in the freezer.
- When you cook pasta, finish it for 1-2 minutes right in the pan with the sauce.
- Your brown sugar clumped into pieces? A piece of soft white bread will solve the problem. Put it in a jar with the sugar and it’ll break back down into sandy granules in a few hours.
- The easiest way to peel a kiwi looks like this – chop it off at both sides, take a spoon, and push it in between the fruit and the skin to scoop out the flesh by turning the fruit until all the skin falls off the back of the spoon.
- If you've cut an avocado in two, save it from turning brown by putting a few drops of lemon juice on the pulp.
- To make your fresh herbs last longer, store them in the fridge with their stems in a glass of water, like a bouquet of flowers.
- Want your burgers to cook evenly? Make a small indent in the center of it with your thumb when it's on a grill or a pan.
- Want to whip cream but have no blender? You can simply shake the cream in a mason jar. But, hey, don't forget to put the lid on!
- Keep a knife under really hot water for a minute, then dry it with a paper towel if you want to make a clean cut through any sticky dessert like a cheesecake.
- If you've overcooked chicken and it's too dry, cut up the pieces, add some mayo, some spices, and your favorite veggies.
- When you cook pancakes, you should watch for the bubbles to appear on them.
- Crying again while chopping an onion? No more of that! Just cut off the root before you slice it.
- When you cook something with chili peppers, coat your hands with any vegetable oil to protect the skin.
- To make perfect sunny-side-up eggs, crack them in a preheated pan coated with oil, then add a bit of warm water, and close the lid for 45 seconds.
- To whip egg whites faster and better, make sure they’re cold and add just a bit of salt to them before you start the whipping process.
- Before putting a steak on the skillet, dry it off with a paper towel, ensuring it will caramelize, not steam.
- Cook whole butternut squash in the microwave for up to 3 minutes. After that, peeling it should be easy.

Hey there, BrightSiders! What does your usual breakfast consist of?

[ianupamshekhar]

45: Add a tablespoon of milk in your omellete batter to make it more fluffier.
46: Add salt in water for making the boiling process faster.
47: Add Schezwan sauce while making noodles to make them more tastier.
48: Keep chopped veggies in cold water vessel for a crispy salad.
49: Marinate meat before making any dish. It genuinely doubles the taste.
50: If the food is salty, put a flour ball in the gravy. It will do the job.

I was taught to firmly roll lemons and limes on a countertop or table to get more juice from them.

3:07 I've also found steaming rather than boiling them makes them easier to peel as well.

I have this defrosting tray to thaw my meat. I was skeptical at first but now it really helps to defrost meat, other than that I use the microwave defrost button, but that tends to partially cook the meat so I recommend the defrosting tray.
